MOS Gala - The Science Behind

Tonight my daughter, Jillian, and I ate, drank, and danced our way through the transformed Museum of Science at their first annual gala, The Science Behind. I was honored to be invited and introduced by Ioannis Miaoulis, president of the MoS. A highlight of the evening was our visit to Harry Potter the Exhibition. How exciting to see the sorting hat, Harry's wand, the Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid's hut and costume! Not to mention the dark chocolate cauldrons filled with chocolate pudding and cotton candy flames or Jillian's favorite dessert - pumpkin cheesecake! We tried our hand at making our own flying broom, throwing a quaffle and we even danced on the periodic table with Galileo and Madame Curie! I am so pleased to continue my long standing relationship with the MoS, it is a true champion of hands-on-learning in the Boston area. I have been fortunate to experience a sabbatical there and to work as a teacher in residence.
