Life Size Science Project

The Professor had a great time on his most recent field trip!
Biosphere 2

It was an incredibly windy day on the outside...


but on the inside balmy and tropical!


I don't know the name, but apparently this flower is rarely in bloom... pretty lucky to see something that's so hard to find.

The ocean - doesn't look so big in the picture, but it was very impressive!


All of us in the underground ocean viewing room.

The Professor had a great time! Even though the initial science experiment (living inside without help from the outside) failed - the ongoing science projects are amazing. So amazing in fact, The Professor is actually thinking he'd rather attend the University of Arizona - just for the chance to participate in some ongoing research at the Biosphere.
If you get the chance ask him what it's like inside "the lung" he'd love to tell you about it!
