Maine Discovery Museum

Introducing a new adult series from the Maine Discovery Museum: Science Success Stories (recommended for high school students and up). While science has significantly improved our world, we often overlook these achievements as we move on to the next challenge. Science Success Stories offers an opportunity to explore and appreciate the many ways science has made a positive impact. For our kick-off event next Wednesday, September 11th (5:30pm), we're delighted to have Dan Kusnierz, Water Resources Program Manager for the Penobscot Nation, who will talk about improvements in the Penobscot River throughout his career.

I love working with children, and when science is involved, it’s the perfect combination. I had a wonderful time presenting to middle school students at the Maine Science Festival at the Cross Insurance Center. We explored an exciting experiment—extracting carbon quantum dots from sugar! ?? ???? It was a fun and engaging way to spark curiosity and inspire young minds. Cheers to the future engineers, doctors, and scientists!

It was great to be back on the Husson University campus last night for the Maine Science Festival 5 minute genius headliner event! It was a great night and the more public events we can have to share the value and importance of science the better! Much thanks to Kate Dickerson and the whole Maine Discovery Museum team for a great festival!
