Argentina was selected by vote at the General Assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions to host Expo 2023. For the first time on Latin American soil, the event focuses on creative industries as a synthesis of science, art, and technology to drive economic growth, increase employment, foster intelligence, improve quality of life, and generate sustainable development.

With a three-month duration, the event expects an estimated nine million visitors. In this context, the design of the habitat is not merely a requirement but a central component of the event's theme. Consequently, six international ideas competitions will be launched to solicit proposals for the construction of the Expo 2023 site, which will subsequently serve as a legacy: a major metropolitan park for science and knowledge, and a campus for creative industries.

Talieh Ghane researches the interaction between light and health at the California Lighting Technology Center. We talked about the biological vs. visual system of light, how to synchronize your circadian clock for better health, how light is like a drug, and why you shouldn’t be on your phone right before bed (guilty).

We all get 24 hours in a day. Sometimes we feel like the clock is overtaking us with each new day adding more and more to the list that we can never seem to quite get to the end of. If only there was a way that each task could be made efficient, manageable, then the process of checking things off would be so much easier.
