Embryo models are pushing the boundaries of science, offering new insights into early development. But as Insoo Hyun notes, 'Researchers want models to resemble an embryo closely enough to provide real insight but not so closely that we blur ethical lines.' Insoo Hyun, bioethicist and director of the Center for Life Science speaks to Nature Magazine about human embryo models and the ethical questions surrounding them. https://lnkd.in/gyEgyP9g

The BPS Sundays program is such a wonderful example of making arts and culture accessible to students across class, neighborhood, race, and family income. More cities and school districts should follow suit. Ever since Mayor Michelle Wu announced BPS Sundays program, Boston Public Schools students and their families have had free admission to six City of Boston cultural institutions. Originally slated to end in August, that program has now been extended through the end of 2024. BPS Sundays has served over 36,000 people since its launch this past February. Funded by nonprofits, corporations, individual donors, and $300,000 in pandemic aid. That means the model could be replicated in other municipalities with the right financial support. One criticism has been that the program excludes private, charter, METCO, and homeschooled students, though Wu hinted at expanding access in the future. The program itself offers free access to BPS students and their families on the first two Sundays of each month: Boston Children's Museum Franklin Park Zoo Institute of Contemporary Art Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Museum of Science New England Aquarium As someone working in the City of Waltham, MA, I'd love to see this kind of partnership around accessibility for Waltham Public Schools students to visit places like my workplace, Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, along with other sites like Gore Place, Historic New England's Lyman Estate, Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Stonehurst - Robert Treat Paine Estate and more. #culture #boston #greaterboston Mass Cultural Council https://lnkd.in/eaPTiCc8
