Teams from all over the country bring a link, which is then connected to the next link and becomes one giant contraption, set off at the magic moment by Ganson. Engineering principles, laws about motion and energy and all kinds of other science - including the natural world - pop up during the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/museum/programs/fat.html">Friday After Thanksgiving Event</a> at the MIT Museum. 1102 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/185641460 2007-12-17 14:10:43 -0500 MIT Museum Researchers at MIT's <a href="http://cehs.mit.edu/">Center for Environmental Health Sciences</a> probe the relationship between genetics and environment in the development of illnesses such as lung cancer.

Meet the people behind the exhibits - curators and Museum Director John Durant. Learn about the new Innovation Gallery, the Cambridge Science Festival and all that draws people from around the world to this unique museum located on Massachusetts Avenue on the northern edge of the MIT campus. 512 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/185364920 2009-01-20 12:38:26 -0500 MIT Museum Prof. Natalie Kuldell and Reshma Shetty PhD '08 are at the forefront of new tools in biological engineering that allow thousands of citizen scientists of all backgrounds to build custom bacteria and other simple organisms from off-the-shelf technologies and biological building blocks. In a salon-style discussion, participants debate the controversies around where this exploding field is heading, and what it means for biology education, medical research, and bio-industry. 5243 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/185335140 2009-06-08 10:44:25 -0400 Lemelson-MIT Program Cardboard, lots of duct tape and four hours to get creative. Using "wind" power, high school students from across the US build devices to lift a garbage can to the ceiling of the Boston Museum of Science during the Lemelson-MIT Program's EurekaFest 2008!
