helicopter and piloted it to a Guinness world record for speed,
altitude, and flight duration.
In the legal arena, Dr. Rothblatt led efforts of the transgender
community to establish their own health law standards and of the
International Bar Association to protect autonomy rights in
genetic information via an international treaty. She also
published dozens of scholarly articles and papers on the law of
outer space, resulting in her election to the International
Institute of Space Law, and represented the radio astronomy
community’s scientific research interests before the Federal
Communications Commission.
She has bachelor’s (communications studies, summa cum laude), JD

satellite communication, medicinal biochemistry, and cognitive
software.

Greens. I get asked all the time,
“If you could only use one supplement, what would it be?” My
answer is usually Athletic Greens, my all-in-one

Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best
with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG further

micronutrients that support gut health and the immune
system.
