Where do these
innovations begin? In research laboratories throughout the world!
Scientists and engineers work daily to learn more and more about
the world in which we live. These talented men and women are laying
the basic foundation for even further improvements in our daily
lives.
Vanderbilt University
and the Cumberland Science Museum are planning an exciting new program
that will transport museum visitors right into laboratories on the
Vanderbilt campus where research is happening. Visitors will have
an opportunity to meet and talk with researchers as they work. Visitors
can ask them about their research and how it relates to daily life.
