THIS MILL TALK EVENT WILL BE ONLINE ONLY
Exploring the wellsprings of innovation with the authors of Boston Made
Join us for a presentation by Dr. Robert Krim and Alan Earls, the authors of the new book, Boston Made: From Revolution to Robotics, Innovations that Changed the World. Krim and Earls will share their discoveries about the region’s 400-year history of innovation, revival and rebirth, and the five key drivers that continue to keep the region in the forefront. The pair will also draw connections between their findings and some of the museum’s most iconic artifacts and exhibits. The program will be livestreamed and include a Q&A with viewers.
