LABORATORY SERIES. No.18. Abandoned greenhouse on the Biosphere 2 campus in Tuscon AZ, 2008. Biosphere 2 researchers sampled vast swaths of landscapes from Venezuela, French Guyana, Baja California, the Everglades, and the Yucatan, and sealed them inside the three acre enclosure along with eight humans from 1991-2.

LABORATORY SERIES. No.17. Lunchbox Laboratory by Futurefarmers + the Biological Sciences Team, National Renewable Energy Lab. Algae is considered a viable form renewable energy with the potential to produce biodiesel. However, the very abundance of it makes it tedious to determine which strains are most productive. Lunchbox Laboratory is a prototype for a research tool that would be distributed to schools to allow young scientists the chance to initially screen a collection of algae strains. Only the most productive strains would reach official labs. Photo Courtesy of Futurefarmers.
