Kendall Square Innovation Tour Opportunity
SciComm Lineup
One goal of the summit is to discuss how the biotech industry can better communicate its work to improve the public's understanding of science and support of it. So we've invited top science communicators from around the country and world to join us, share their advice, and see the best of biotech in action. They’ll have the opportunity to interview panelists and speakers, and immerse themselves in the innovation happening in Kendall Square. Meet them:
At the conclusion of our program at 12:30, MassLive.com columnist and WBUR contributor (and longtime Boston Globe columnist) Scott Kirsner will be hosting a 1 hour Innovation Trail walking tour of Kendall Square for attendees who would like to join, including a special hosted tour at the Draper Labs Museum of Space.
