A very interesting course, I previously had very little knowledge about the work going on in Biosphere 2. The last module especially was well delivered and inspiring.
AP 제공2022년 2월 13일
This course was amazing!! I learned so much, and it inspired me to do further research on many of the discussed topics.
GJ 제공2019년 2월 23일
