This Weeks Program: Tales From Biosphere 2
Linda visited us in May to discuss the Oracle Community Garden. But when she finished her program, the majority of questions were on Biosphere 2. So we asked Linda to come back for a program on Biosphere 2.
Linda Leigh was the test subject in a three week stay in Biosphere 2 prior to her two year stay with a team. She designed the ecosystems in Biosphere 2 working with engineers, architects, and other scientists. She directed the collection and propagation of over 2000 candidate species for the systems. As one of the original team members in the Biosposphere 2 experiments, she managed the health, research and documentation of the ecosystems.
