The "beach" biome inside Biosphere 2.

If you're interested in Biosphere 2, I highly recommend Jane Poynter's book, The Human Experiment. It's a first-person look inside the experiment, and the best resource I've found on the subject. You can buy it from Amazon:

An incredible idea and calculation event that was bungled by self-serving scientists in fighting who thought it more important to write their names in bad concrete and impure air…

A sad loss for mankind and its advancement into space…


I sometime wonder if it would have been better to have positioned ‘Spirit’ and ‘Opportunity’ in the biosphere2; at least they wouldn’t have had the need to publish early…

I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I recently had a story on This American Life, and had a cover story last year in The Portland Mercury.

You can follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes, or find me on Facebook for updates on writing and utterly shameless self-promotion.

I'm also a mobile website and smartphone app developer. I work for Cloud Four. In years past, I worked with Night & Day Studios; I helped create Peekaboo Barn, Peekaboo Wild, Big Fat Lies, Life in Short, Cocktail Compass, Nick Jr.'s A-Z With Moose and Zee, Quibble, Savage Love, and a bunch of other apps.
