Take a Tour of the MIT Museum
As Part 2 of a two-part episode of unPlanned, take a tour of the MIT Museum with its director John Durant as your tour guide. There is so much in this fascinating museum of one of the world's premiere institutions of higher learning. Find out about their curated collections, from space science to genomics to artificial intelligence, and much much more, and learn about the fundamental societal questions of science and technology that the museum wants to confront.
“I think that research is so important that we can’t just leave it in the hands of the researchers and technicians to decide how to use it. Very often we need a wider social conversation to decide how we really want to apply new science and new technology in ways that we’re all comfortable with. This are the kinds of conversation that are really needed today, I think. We’re trying to help with those.” - John Durant
