Bringing Science Alive

'In a city full of venerable cultural institutions, the Great Lakes Science Center has been among the most ambitious. Two years ago, the center installed a giant wind turbine, the first on the American shores of Lake Erie, in its front yard. “It gives us a chance to be involved in advocacy for smart public policy, which museums don’t always get to do,” Abraham-Silver says. Last year, the center added a solar panel canopy near the front entrance. It’s now the fourth-largest solar panel installation in Ohio.'
