MSI Experts and Scientists Available to Media

The Museum of Science and Industry offers a variety of experts in science, STEM education, exhibition development and administration that are available to the media for general interviews and topical commentary.

The Museum’s Education Initiatives are a great resource for those working on stories about the need for improvement in our country’s STEM education and what organizations like museums can do to improve it.

MSI also offers a demonstration team who can bring science concepts to life by planning a fun and compelling hands-on science segment for broadcast media.
