About the Museum:
The mission of the Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences is to help people use science to solve problems in their communities.
The Museum's state-of-the-art exhibits, public events, and educational programs, provide information that stimulates discussion and sheds light on how science supports decision-making.
At the request of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a one-day public workshop on February 16, 2016 to explore potential research priorities arising as a result of the emergence of Zika virus in the United States.
Tornadoes, floods, thunderstorm winds, hail, lightning, heat, wildfires, rip currents and tsunamis - spring is three months of danger that can imperil the unprepared. It roars in like a lion and continues to roar across the United States throughout March, April and May.
What do you love about the Koshland? What has inspired or wowed you? What memories have stayed with you? What makes it your science museum? Science centers mean many things to many people, and the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) wants to know what they mean to you.
