I am thankful for the invention of the concept of zero. It never ceases to make really terrible terms in my differential equations disappear like magic!

There are so many things I am thankful for, especially in modern medicine, but I must say the most life altering, day to day invention is my car. The freedom I have to hop in and travel is something most did not have one hundred years ago. Most people never traveled more than a ten mile radius from their homes.

A sampling of the temporary exhibit, Running the Numbers, now at the Museum. Chris Jordan's prints translate the raw language of statistics into powerful images of mass consumption. These photos aim to provoke an emotional response not felt with numbers alone.

Museum of Science, Boston Check out some photos of our new friends at the Live Animal Center! Aren't they little?

Welcome Northern Red-bellied Cooters to the Museum’s Live Animal Center. As part of a head start program, these colorful little guys will be staying with us this winter! Native only to Plymouth County, MA this species is endangered on both the Federal and State level. Head starting began in the 1980s when it was discov...ered there were virtually no hatchlings or young cooters! Today, nests are protected with wire screen and hatchlings are collected as they emerge. About ¼ are kept for head starting and the rest are released into ponds near the nests. The Museum has been involved in this powerful program since 1989 and so far the mortality rate of hatchlings has been reduced from 100% to 5%! Make sure to check back for updates!
