Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change: The Keys to Our Resilient Future

The Museum of Science, in collaboration with Amira Madison (Aquinnah Wampanoag), Hartman Deetz (Mashpee Wampanoag), highlight the work Indigenous communities are doing to combat climate change across the United States in this new, seasonal conversation series.&nbsp; Join us for an evening of powerful dialogue exploring how Indigenous knowledge and stewardship shape solutions for cleaner air and a more stable climate. We'll dive into the role of healthy forests, wetlands, and grasslands in cleaning and cooling the air, the traditional practices, such as cultural burning, that tend the land and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire smoke, and the generations of observation that inform Indigenous understandings of wind, weather, and seasonal change. Together, we'll explore how Indigenous peoples are renewing relationships between land, sky, and community.

A Reno Family Foundation Symposium - Breaking Barriers: Women in Space

Join us at the Museum of Science for an out-of-this-world conversation with the women who are changing who gets to go to space and why it matters here on Earth. Space has long been a place of firsts, but not everyone has had a seat at the table. Today, astronauts, scientists, and storytellers are opening doors, from commercial spaceflight to research on women's health in microgravity, and they are bringing the fight for equity and justice with them. What does it take to be the first? What does space exploration look like when more voices have a say in it? And how can the work being done in orbit help build a better future for everyone on the ground? Astronauts Dr. Sian Proctor, Sirisha Bandla and Amanda Nguyen share their journeys, the barriers they've broken, and what they hope comes next, in a conversation moderated by astronomer and science communicator Athena Brensberger, also known as @AstroAthens. Whether you're a lifelong space fan or just starting to look up, come be inspired by the people who are reaching for the stars and bringing the rest of us with them.

An Evening with TJ Klune

Celebrate the new edition of Murmuration at the Museum of Science with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author TJ Klune! The story is set in Amorea, a picture-perfect mountain town in the autumn of 1954. Mike runs a bookstore, Sean waits tables at a diner, and after years of slow-burn courtship they're finally ready to take the next step. But something is off. There are no children and no parents. No one who travels to the far mountains ever comes back. And Mike keeps seeing a vast storm cloud of starlings that no one else can see. A murmuration is what happens when thousands of starlings move through the sky as one. Scientists study it to understand how groups move, communicate, and adapt. In Murmuration, that swirling flock is a warning that reality isn't what it seems. Don't miss this fireside chat with TJ about the book, the questions it raises about identity, memory, and what's real, and how speculative fiction lets us imagine the future. It's an evening where the "what if" of science fiction meets the "how does it work" of science. Every ticket is bundled with a copy of Murmuration by TJ Klune. Book signing with TJ to follow the program, in partnership with All She Wrote Books.

A Beautiful Resistance Live with SILK!

Don't miss this special edition of A Beautiful Resistance Live! from Boston Globe Deputy Managing Editor Jeneé Osterheldt, in collaboration with Boston's Premier R&amp;B Party, SILK, celebrating the opening of the Bloomberg Public Science Common. In her own words, Jeneé Osterheldt created A Beautiful Resistance "to carry on the tradition of Black artists and Black journalists in reclaiming the truth of Black folk. Like Frederick Douglass taught us, there is power in representation. Too often, we are measured by our suffering. Blackness must not be defined by our brutalization. We are more than death. When we are depicted by our extremes, the truth of us is lost. We live, fully. Our joy, our dreams, our everyday stories? That's a beautiful resistance." Every season consists of a weekly mixtape featuring a short film, a longform story, and a Q&amp;A. The community is invited to share their own beautiful resistance on Instagram. Join us for an evening full of story, music, love, and joy. Then the night keeps going with an afterparty hosted by SILK with music by Baby Indiglo, Mez.Wav, &amp; ReaL P. Founded by DJ ReaL P, SILK has been named Boston's Best Music Night three years running, and it's known for bringing together crowds around one shared love: R&amp;B. From classic slow jams to the tracks sampled in today's biggest hip-hop hits, SILK brings an R&amp;B music experience like no other. All R&amp;B. All love. All night.

The Lost Cache — A Special Screening and Filmmaker Conversation

What if something thought to be lost for more than 80 years is still waiting beneath the ice? In 1937, legendary mountaineer, photographer, and cartographer Bradford Washburn made the first ascent of Mount Lucania, one of the great feats of early North American mountaineering. Forced to abandon a cache of equipment on the Walsh Glacier—including his beloved Fairchild F-8 aerial camera—Washburn always hoped to return. But the glacier had other plans. More than eight decades later, skier Griffin Post, glaciologist Dora Medrzycka, and a team of skiers, scientists, and explorers venture deep into the remote Yukon to find out whether Washburn’s lost treasures might still be there. The Lost Cache is more than a search for forgotten gear. It’s a story about curiosity, obsession, risk, discovery, and the questions that can endure across generations. As the team navigates a landscape shaped by constantly moving glaciers and a changing climate, the improbable begins to feel just possible. Join for a special screening of this forthcoming documentary—presented in the very place where this remarkable story is connected to the Museum’s own history—followed by a conversation with the director and filmmaking team.&nbsp;

An Evening with Jacob Collier

Join us for the inaugural performance at the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common with a truly singular evening featuring one of the most inventive and boundary-pushing artists of our time: Jacob Collier. Beloved by audiences, musicians, and critics around the world, the seven-time GRAMMY winner is a singer-songwriter, producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and world-builder whose fearless approach to music has redefined what a live musical experience can be. Jacob will join us for an intimate fireside chat, and a full-length performance set specially designed and imagined for the Bloomberg Public Science Common and the Museum of Science. Known for transforming concert halls into collective instruments- improvising with audiences, collaborating across genres, and finding musical possibilities where others see limitations- Jacob brings a spirit of curiosity, connection, and joyful experimentation to everything he creates. His latest album, The Light For Days, finds him turning inward, exploring the intimacy and possibilities of his signature Taylor acoustic guitars. It offers a glimpse into another side of an artist whose work continually asks: What else is possible? Join us for the beginning of something new—an evening where music, technology, creativity, and human connection come together in the Bloomberg Public Science Common.

The Happiness Lab Live with Dr. Laurie Santos and Ali Truwit

Based on Dr. Santos’ course at Yale University, the most popular course in its 300-year history, the night will draw on the latest psychology research, exploring what truly makes us happier—and challenge common assumptions that money, career success, or picture-perfect experiences are the keys to a more fulfilling life.&nbsp; Featuring special guest, Ali Truwit, medal winning Paralympian who also went to Yale and has an amazing story of resilience after surviving a shark attack days after graduating from college. Through a conversation about resilience, perspective, connection, and active hope, Santos and Truwit will explore how we can navigate adversity while still making space for joy, meaning, and possibility. Come curious. Leave inspired—and with a few science-backed ideas for a happier life.&nbsp;
