Museum Of Science, Boston: Annual Report 2006

Annual Report 2006

The Museum of Science sits at a pivotal moment: Extraordinary successes of the past year were signposts to its future as the science and technology center of the 21st century. We will achieve this goal through four strategic initiatives, or “pillars.” We will enhance our core exhibits and programs, illuminate the life sciences—the theme of this report—champion engineering and technological literacy, and ultimately renew our physical presence. The institution’s financial strength is a result of the year’s banner achievements. Most notably, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, developed with Lucasfilm Ltd., our first major interactive exhibit to incorporate engineering lessons, garnered critical acclaim. Actor Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) emceed its gala premiere, with special guest George Lucas and catering by Wolfgang Puck. Last year, over 1.6 million visitors experienced the Museum, while Star Wars attracted record crowds and beat attendance projections by 23 percent. Treasured in Boston, the Museum is also respected nationwide for its visitor experience and accessibility. As partners joined us, we forged ahead with our strategic initiatives. The National Center for Technological Literacy® is working with 28 states to introduce engineering into schools and lifelong learning centers. Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri calls our efforts the “beginning of a movement to breathe new life” into math and science education.

Meanwhile, we made strides in life science education. A major gift from Genzyme Corporation established the Genzyme Biotechnology Education Initiative. Through the Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman Fund for Adult Programs, we are enriching our nearly 30 adult-learning programs. In addition, a Hayden Foundation grant will enable us to acquire the latest Zeiss Starmaster projector, providing a cutting-edge planetarium experience. As we gained momentum in fulfilling our strategic vision, we established the Chairman’s Circle to recognize the Museum’s most generous benefactors, such as charter members Sophia and Bernard M. Gordon, whose leadership and vision enrich lives and advance the Museum of Science. The Gordons’ gift endowing the Museum’s engineering initiatives opens a new door to inspire tomorrow’s engineering leaders. Last year saw definitive steps towards the Museum’s transformation from a beloved local landmark to a national leader in science and technology education—thanks to the critical support of our partners and benefactors. This book is a tribute to our continuing work together.

Through life science Life Lessons and technology, the Museum Life science research is changing our lives. honors its past New knowledge influences our decisions, while connecting fuels discourse, and drives societal change. to its future. In response to the dramatic growth in the bioscience world, the Museum of Science is expanding its focus on life science and the technology behind it. We are creating new, permanent exhibits and programs as well as strengthening the presence of the life sciences in temporary exhibits, Omni films, forums, and other formats. This life science initiative also reflects the Museum’s championship of technological literacy across America by incorporating cutting-edge technology into interactive exhibits and programs at the Museum and in classrooms. By expanding our engagement with life science and technology, the Museum honors its past as a natural history museum while connecting to the future through technological innovation. Our goal is to create the science and technology center of the 21st century. People will make that happen, and we are fortunate to have knowledgeable, dedicated experts and deeply committed donors who bring compelling and innovative exhibits and programs in life science to the Museum. We hope you will enjoy meeting a few of them in the following pages.

Back to Our Roots As adults, we may marvel, but see little mystery in the reproductive process. It’s tempting, therefore, to imagine children as the primary beneficiaries of the Museum’s exhibit How Your Life Began. Of course, children have learned “where babies come from” at the Museum of Science for more than a generation. The exhibit displays detailed, human-scale models of male and female internal reproductive organs, as well as each stage of a fetus’s development inside a woman’s body. Yet the exhibit is equally valuable to adults. Instead of getting answers, they find questions. For instance, one section raises the implications of new technologies

Bill Schawbel and Judy Samelson Bill Schawbel, a leader in bringing innovative products to market, and his wife, Judy Samelson, an inventor and designer, understand philanthropy. They serve on the boards of 20 charitable organizations, including the Museum. “We appreciate how the Museum of Science promotes and fosters creativity and innovation. As a result, we have made a substantial philanthropic investment to support it,” they say. Schawbel and Samelson are charter members of the Chairman’s Circle.

like genetic testing of the unborn. Are medical breakthroughs necessarily good? Should I use technology just because it’s available? How Your Life Began immerses the visitor, conveying information both in narrative form and through its environment. With dimmed lighting and a circular path from one stage to the next, the physical format suggests the inside of a womb. It is among the most life-affirming exhibits in the Museum.

Power to the People Exhibits content developer Maureen McConnell likes to think big. “I’ve always looked for jobs where I could have wider influence on the public,” she says. The zoologist heads the Museum’s participation in the National Center for BioBlitzes. In a BioBlitz, scientists and other citizens gather to take rapid inventory of plants and animals living in a given habitat in, say, 24 hours. “My interest is in empowering citizens to gather and use scientific data for their own purposes,” she says. Bunny Watson, curator of the Live Animal Center, oversees a collection of some 120 animals of 50 species. She also

Cutting-edge exhibits and programs are not the only reason that the Museum is a recognized leader in science and technology education in K-12 classrooms and museums nationwide. Julie and Bayard Henry know that constant evaluation to measure effectiveness and relevance is equally critical to success. Their recent gift established the Julie and Bayard Henry Fund for Research and Evaluation. “This fund will enable the Museum to be a national leader in the evaluation of exhibits and programs, not just in their development,” says Julie. The Henrys are charter members of the Chairman’s Circle.

A Playground for the Curious Am I normal? What makes my heart rate change? What does a heartbeat mean? Visitors to The Human Body Connection ask these and other questions that arise as they explore human biology and medical technologies. Often, participation in the exhibit allows them to arrive at their own answers. For instance, visitors can measure the volume of their lungs, find out how much sugar is in a bottle of cola, assemble a model human torso, or ride a bike with a skeleton.

By participating, visitors answer their own questions about human biology. Exhibit activities present human biology in the larger context of life science. The Hood chick hatchery has been a favorite for generations, as are the tamarin monkeys, which catalyze discussion of the path of human evolution. The Human Body Connection’s great strength is its staff and volunteers. Answering questions in their signature red aprons, they facilitate the hands-on activities.

The Hall of Human Life Despite the Museum’s many beloved life science-related exhibits, there is a need for more, given the profound implications of the biotechnology revolution on our lives. To bring this knowledge and technology to its huge audience, the Museum is reconfiguring and expanding its human body exhibits to create the Hall of Human Life. When completed, this exhibit will mount a comprehensive introduction to current research on human biology.

Reid Weedon understands the benefits a planned gift can bring. A longtime supporter, former chair of the board, and life trustee of the Museum, he established a charitable remainder unitrust to support the position of president and director of the Museum. “I am actively involved in helping to raise money for the Museum of Science and thought it best to lead by example,” says Reid. “I want to make sure the Museum will always be here as an important resource for Boston and beyond.” Reid Weedon is a charter member of both the Chairman’s Circle and the Washburn Society.

Genzyme and Henri Termeer. And the Museum has a wealth of other potential partners in the Boston-Cambridge area, home to business and academic leaders in life science research. Exhibit developers will tap these experts for input in developing the Hall of Human Life. The exhibit itself will feature programs by Greater Boston’s preeminent life scientists. They will present up-to-theminute, research-based views of life science issues, helping visitors understand human biology as research constantly reveals it.

Our Partners: Investing in Tomorrow The Museum of Science is like a digital image—an array of exhibits and programs coalescing, like pixels, to form a whole picture. In the same way, the success of the Museum as a whole depends on many investments, small and large, in our various programs. Fiscal success in the past year came from multiple sources. Notable were our achievements in attracting local and national community partners. Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination pooled intellectual wealth and 18

financial support from a roster of major corporations and individual experts coast to coast. Closer to home, Genzyme’s landmark grant will enable the Museum to create fresh and challenging exhibits and programs illuminating the intersection of life science and technology. Looking to the present and beyond, support from engineering visionary Bernard M. Gordon and his wife Sophia ensures the Museum’s role to inspire science and technology pioneers for generations to come. These and other collaborations tell a story of transformation: A treasured New England institution assumes national leadership in science and technology. In fulfilling that transformation, we will work hard to continue engaging community networks and partners. All partnerships with the Museum of Science are an investment in our community and in the institution’s life as a national science and technology leader. As more partnerships beget more successful programming, a clearer image of the future comes into focus, like a pixilated image gaining resolution.

Bradford Washburn Award Presented on November 15, 2005, to Dean Kamen, inventor and physicist, who holds more than 200 U.S. and foreign patents, mostly for medical devices. He is perhaps best known for his creation of the Segway Human Transport and for founding FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in 1989, an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use, and enjoy science and technology. An anonymous Trustee established the Bradford Washburn Award in 1964, the 25th year of Brad Washburn’s 40-year service as Museum Director. A golden medal and an honorarium of ten thousand dollars are awarded annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution toward public understanding of science.
