In 1987 Arizona, scientists created Biosphere 2, a 3-acre domed facility designed to mimic Earth's living systems without external aid. Early experiments, where crews lived inside, faced oxygen loss and food shortages. Despite initial failures, Biosphere 2 now conducts some of the world's largest earth science experiments, offering vital insights into natural systems for global challenges.

We will also speak with participants from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's "From Linear to Circular" program. Forty-four young professionals and students recently completed a week-long study on the circular economy. Discover their experiences, motivations, and how they will apply their learning to their studies and careers.
