Boston Museum of Science president and director Yannis N. Miaoulis has a nice piece in US News & World Report about the importance of museums to STEM success. “Science centers can be a powerful resource for teachers in STEM fields,” he writes. “School curricula traditionally focus more on the natural world, not the technological one. But it is the human-made world that facilitates 95 percent of daily experience.”
