[Sci-tech-public] John Durant, Cambridge Science Festival in NYTimes

[David Kaiser]

Hello, all,

In case you missed it, the New York Times ran a lovely story yesterday about our own Prof. John Durant, member of STS and Director of the MIT Museum, and about John's tireless and extraordinary efforts to launch the Cambridge Science Festival and spread the idea to other cities around the country. You can read the story here:

Remember that this year's Cambridge Science Festival runs from 20 - 29 April, and you can find details here:

Please join me in thanking (and congratulating) John for his wonderful contributions --

best,
Dave
