In 1991, eight people sealed themselves for more than two years into a structure of glass pyramids and buildings. They were attempting to thrive as a closed ecosystem that could create oxygen and grow food.
On Wednesday, April 13, join us at the Museum for the Biosphere 2 Presentation. We’ll have the honor of meeting Mark Nelson, Ph.D., a member of the “Biospherian” crew featured in the exhibit Imagine a World. Nelson will share his experience and learnings through Biosphere 2 and his career.
