Most little girls will tell you they want to be a ballerina, a teacher, or perhaps a nurse when they grow up. But for curious, analytical young minds, science might be an even more intriguing career path.
To stimulate curiosity about opportunities in the sciences, the Museum of Science is hosting a weekend of interactive events. Running Thursday, May 1-Saturday, May 3, Inspiring Minds: Meet Women in Science features presentations by female scientists who love their work. Hear from Ellen Berkland, a city archaeologist in Boston; Mish Michaels, a WBZ TV meteorologist; and Dr. Rebecca Hill, a doctor at HarvardVanguard, just to name a few. Visitors can also try out activities at the Museum’s “Technology Tables,” examining creatures used for biological research, testing weather forecasting instruments, and more.

Planning a trip to Boston? Read about attractions, tours, discounts, and more with the Go Boston Card.
So full disclosure — I work for the company behind the Go Boston Card. But I also live in Boston and my two little girls LOVE the science museum. One thing their Daddy (me) hates is standing in line with them since at 2 and 5 years-old they tend to not exactly stay put. And because a lot of other people love the Museum of Science, the line can be pretty brutal on weekends. One of the sweet things about the Go Boston card is we get to skip the line at the Boston Museum of Science. That might be worth even more than the dollar savings involved if you too have kids!
