Abstract
If I ask you to picture a biosphere in your mind you might imagine a plastic bubble in the desert filled with an oasis of plants and animals.
And you’d be wrong, along with many others.
This idea of a giant research dome is the default for many, thanks largely to a 1996 comedy movie called Bio-dome.
Bio-dome was deemed one of the world’s most “unwatchably awful” films, and yet somehow, its key concept - an enormous research dome facility that becomes a prison for two bumbling college students – persists.
