Boston for biotech types

Biogen Idec has put together a Boston guide for the gazillions of biotech researchers and executives now exchanging ~~plasmids~~ serious biotech ideas at the convention center.

Ed. note: There are two local museums/exhibits that really should be in the Science Scene section. Can you identify them?

Well, the Aquarium is

Well, the Aquarium is missing. For the second, perhaps the Commonwealth Museum, for the anthro/archeological collections? I don't really know.

Oh, those are good choices, too

I was thinking of the Mass. General Ether Dome and the Warren Anatomical Museum at Harvard Medical School.

Right! I love the ether dome. Makes me feel like I'm in a horror movie.

Accessing the Ether Dome

There is a speaker box that goes to the nearest security office where they have a camera feed of the door/room with a switch that unlocks the door for you.

It actually totally adds to the creep factor. But I could really feel like I was there watching a new surgery being performed there. It was...ethereal.

There's a great guided tour of Beacon Hill using a video/audio app on your iPhone and one of its stops is the Ether Dome. Search the app store for "Walking Cinema: Murder on Beacon Hill". At $5 it is totally worth it. One of the most original uses for the iPhone. But the app has lots of video so it is large (700 MB).
