When Nicole Stott saw the Earth from space, she realized that this brilliant blue marble, shielded from the void by only its razor-thin atmosphere, is a naturally existing system that’s perfectly designed to support human life. Unlike the ISS, it doesn’t require advanced technology for humans to survive. But very much like the ISS, it requires every crew member to work together to keep the system running smoothly.
Join us at Linda Hall Library (5109 Cherry St, Kansas City, MO 64110) on May 1, 2025 from 7:00-8:00pm. In this talk, Nicole will encourage us to tackle the planet’s most pressing problems, from water insecurity and pollution to the existential threat of climate change. She will share what she learned on the ISS about high-stakes problem solving and survival, along with stories of scientists and change-makers already making a difference around the world.
