THIS MILL TALK EVENT WILL BE ONLINE ONLY
A Photographic Tour of Boston's Most Innovative Places, with Scott Kirsner
Scott Kirsner, author of the recently-published book Innovation Economy and a longtime Boston Globe business columnist, will take you on a photographic tour of 11 places in the Boston area that have given birth to world-changing inventions, from the telephone to COVID vaccines to robots that vacuum your living room. He'll also discuss a concept that is developing for an "Innovation Trail" in the Boston area, similar to the Freedom Trail.
(There will also be a live trivia quiz that you can participate in!)
