Buckminster Fuller
You may remember him as the architect behind the geodesic dome. But Buckminster Fuller was also an engineer, inventor, and a global thinker. A modern-day DaVinci, Bucky held 25 U.S. patents, authored 28 books, and received 47 honorary doctorates. On the centennial of his birth, we'll talk about the life and far-reaching scientific achievements of Buckminster Fuller.
