piece from overseer Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullans that
looks at causes for obesity not only in humans but among
animals.
A Grand Entrance
The construction hat on the cover says it all. If you
have visited recently, then you know that the Museum
of Science is in the midst of major renovations to our
public spaces. We are deep into phase one of our lobby
reconstruction as we work toward the grand opening of
the Yawkey Gallery on the Charles River in early 2016. And
we are expanding our concourse to improve wayfinding
and installing new restrooms to better our guest
amenities.
Our goal with the lobby, concourse, and, ultimately, our
front entrance is to transform the visitor experience
from the moment of arrival. We are rejuvenating
these spaces and, with the Yawkey Gallery, introducing
key elements of the Museum’s central story of the
interdependencies of the natural and the engineered
worlds.
The Charles River has always been an essential
feature of the Museum’s iconic lobby, and we will
soon have a gallery and exhibit area that will enable
visitors to experience the river as both a natural and
built environment through observation activities and
interactive components that encourage them to look at
the world like a scientist and solve problems like
an engineer.
In this Issue
Food has been a topic of much interest at the Museum
in recent years, and on October 22 we explored the
science and culture of food with bestselling author
Michael Pollan, as he was presented with the 2015
Bradford Washburn Award. His talk touched upon
many of the themes found in his books, particularly The
Omnivore’s Dilemma and Food Rules, as he stressed the
challenges of studying food and nutrition scientifically.
We extend the discussion of food with an Explorations

Presentation of the Col. Francis T. Colby Award has become
a highlight of our annual calendar of events, and this year
we had an opportunity to honor one of the Museum’s
greatest benefactors, trustee Rick Burnes at the Colby
Society dinner. Rick served as chair of the Museum’s board
of trustees from 2004 to 2010, and he and his wife Nonnie
have been loyal supporters since 1968. The Colby Award
honors those who have made “extraordinary contributions
of time, treasure, and talent to the Museum,” and everyone
who knows Rick will certainly agree that he is greatly
deserving of this recognition.
Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors
Fiscal year 2015, the final year of The Campaign for the
Museum of Science, had many high points, from the
50th Anniversary Celebration of the Washburn Award
to the world premiere of The Science Behind Pixar and
the amazingly successful crowd-funded initiative to give
Triceratops Cliff a permanent home at our institution.
In terms of our fundraising efforts, new gifts and
commitments totaled $32.7 million. This support
funds access, development and upkeep of exhibits, and
educational programming for visitors of all ages.
We thank those families who made the Museum a part of
their philanthropy. We thank those foundations that share
in and support our mission. And we thank our Premier
Partners and the corporate sponsors that help to make our
community stronger.
We would also like to thank our volunteers, interns, and
staff for their outstanding work in fiscal year 2015. And
we would like to thank our trustees and overseers for
their service and commitment to the Museum of Science,
especially Howard Messing, who completed his term as
board chair in June 2015. We value the commitment and
continued support of everyone in the Museum of Science
community.

2015 BRADFORD
WASHBURN AWARD
“
Nutrition science is a young science,” said Michael Pollan in
accepting the 2015 Bradford Washburn Award at the Museum on
October 22. “We’ve only been at it for about 200 years. Right now,
in my estimation, nutrition science is approximately where surgery
was in the year 1650. It’s going to get a lot better. It’s going to be
worth paying attention to. But it’s a primitive science.
Digestion, food metabolism are miracles that we still only
dimly understand. One example. We are all learning about
the importance of the microbiome. Only about 10% of your
cells belong to you. The rest belong to the bacteria and
microbes. Their health is critical to your health.”
Pollan, the author of the bestsellers Cooked, Food Rules,
and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, among other books, is the
John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Journalism at UC
Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, and the director
of the Knight Program in Science and Environmental
Journalism. A contributing writer to The New York Times
Magazine since 1987, he received the James Beard Award
for best magazine series in 2003 and the President’s
Citation Award from the American Institute of Biological
Sciences in 2009, among many other distinguished honors.

The award citation, which was presented by Joshua
Boger, vice chair of the board of trustees, commended
Pollan for being “a zealous ambassador for healthy eating,” and for
inspiring his readers to “recognize food as not just fuel but rather as
community, family, and one of the ways we construct our identity.”
Named for the Museum’s founding director, Bradford Washburn, the
award has been presented annually since 1964 to individuals who
embody Washburn’s spirit of adventure and his ability to translate
and interpret science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for
the public.
Pollan joins a notable list of past Washburn Award honorees,
including Michael Bloomberg, Walter Cronkite, Jane Goodall, Jacques
Cousteau, Sally Ride, Isaac Asimov, Atul Gawande, Alan Alda, and
Neil deGrasse Tyson.

With global obesity nearly
doubling between 1980 and
2014, we are now witnessing
a historical turnaround as
obesity kills more people than
malnutrition.
Fat Humans, Fat Animals
by Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullans
As a species we have been conducting
a large-scale experiment, over a very few
decades, as to what happens to a human
body when it massively increases its average
weight—a trend that may have long-term
evolutionary consequences. Fat mothers tend
to have fatter babies. Older mothers tend to
have fatter babies; every five-year increase
in Mom’s age increases the chances that her
newborn will become obese by 14 percent.
Some medical practices
are now seeing 16 percent
obesity in infants. Problem
is, kids born obese, or who
gain weight early in life, are
also prone to adult obesity
and far more chronic
illnesses. And they, in turn,
are likely to have fatter
babies.

Gullans, 2015.
For millennia, a chubby
baby was a good sign, but
too much of a good thing tips the scales
(heavy-handed pun intended). A study of 25
million children across twenty-eight countries
timed how long it takes them to run one mile;
on average they were a minute and a half
slower than their parents were at the same
age. Every decade, average global physical
fitness falls 5 percent. We are, without a
doubt, eating too much and working out too
little. But what if there were other human
and environmental factors that might also be
driving the extreme obesity epidemic?
One clue lies within recent insurance
claims ... for dogs and cats. During 2007, one
provider’s health-care claims related to obesity
rose 19 percent. Six years later, the percentage
20
of overweight dogs had increased by an
additional 37 percent. Overweight cats? More
than a 90 percent increase in seven years.
Most of these animals are typically not eating
or drinking the same fast food we are. Many
are on quite controlled and standardized
diets. So why is obesity exploding in this
population as well? Perhaps we simply coddle
and overfeed our furry domestic friends. But
if that’s the case, then why does a broadscale animal obesity study show that in both
males and females, across twelve species,
everything, everywhere, is getting fatter?
One might understand why city rats,
dumpster-diving for fast food, might begin
to look like Porky Pig. But why would the
same phenomenon be occurring in lab mice
and rats? One of the key rules in science
research is to reduce the variables, keep
things standardized so you can really compare
results. If lab animals are consistently treated
and fed the same way, why would the odds of
a male lab macaque being obese increase by
86 percent between 1971 and 2006? Obesity
odds in female lab macaques increased by 144
percent.
Were one tempted to dismiss these findings
as simply the result of changes in lab food
and practices, then one might ask why the
obesity index for pasture-fed horses has
increased 19 percent. Is the grass in these
fields really different, or is there something
globally systemic going on?
Antibiotics may be one culprit. Many
farmers mix antibiotics into animal feed
as a standard operating procedure. The
objective is not to cure sick animals but to

Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullans, PhD, are cofounders of Excel Venture
Management, which builds start-ups in synthetic biology, big data, and new
genetic technologies. Enriquez, a Museum overseer, is a bestselling author and
authority on the economic and political impacts of the life sciences. A TED “allstar,” he lectures around the world, chairs the Genetics Advisory Council at
Harvard Medical School, and was the founding director of Harvard Business
School’s Life Science Project. Gullans was a professor at Harvard Medical School
for 18 years, applying breakthrough technologies to diseases such as cancer, ALS,
Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. He has published more than 130 scientific papers
in leading journals. He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1998.
induce weight gain. These subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics
kill off some of the gut bacteria
and allow more nutrients per
feeding to get into the animal’s
body. While the amount dosed
per animal is small, the overall
systemic effect is enormous.
Industrial farms used 30 million
pounds of antibiotics in 2011
alone—about four times the
amount sick humans used. Some
of these chemicals leach into
the environment. So might the
widespread prevalence of low-dose
antibiotics in our environment,
just enough to promote weight
gain in animals, be one factor
in the generalized weight gain
of wild animals and perhaps
humans?
Aside from antibiotics, many
other compounds, known by the
cuddly title of “obesogens,” may
activate fat cells. Because some
of these substances are nontoxic
and noncarcinogenic, their
effects tend to be understudied
and underappreciated. And
yet they commonly appear in
our food chain; in 2009, some
56,231 pounds of triflumizole—a
common fungicide and possible
obesogen—were sprayed all over
leafy green vegetables, fruits, and
flowers. And while we consumed
our “fresh” salads, we may also
have been drinking water from
hard plastic bottles and thus
consuming bisphenol A (BPA),
another possible obesogen.
Overall stress and sleeplessness
can also affect human obesity.
And a tendency toward obesity
can be passed on generationally;
constant maternal stress alters
children’s immune systems as
well as their behaviors. Studies
have shown that pregnant
rodents exposed to stress have
a lot of hormones, such as
cortisol, running through their
blood, and their offspring in
turn display anxiety behavior.
What is interesting is that if
the offspring are fed a specific
probiotic containing L. helveticus
R0052 and B. longum R0175,
In a Darwinian world, nature’s
cruelty might have taken care of
extraordinarily obese babies, at least
in the short term; many women
would have been physically unable to
deliver these ever larger babies. But
yet another instance of unnatural
selection, cesarean sections, have
removed this natural constraint.
Throughout history, before sterile
procedures and anesthetics, cesarean
sections were almost always death
sentences for the mother. More than
one-third of U.S. babies and more
As we change our lifestyles, diets, and
stress levels, as well as those of the
animals that live around us, we likely

then the stress-driven changes in
hormones and brain biology, and
the resultant anxiety behavior,
are significantly reduced.
This implies that diet, the
environment, and chemicals all
interact with the bacteria that live
within our guts and are connected
to our immune and endocrine
systems. Human studies indicate
that irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS) often occurs in individuals
with psychiatric disorders, and is
often exacerbated by stress. As we
change our lifestyles, diets, and
stress levels, as well as those of
the animals that live around us,
we likely also influence obesity,
even in utero.
than 40 percent of Chinese babies
come into the world in a way that
is very different from the historical
norm. In our human-driven world
there are no more natural vetoes on
size at birth.
We can already partially design
what we want the average human
to be like; for instance, moderate
exercise during pregnancy leads
to slightly smarter kids. Exercising
over the course of one’s lifetime also
maintains or increases IQ. But if
we keep going the way we are going
today, our grand kids may not all
be as healthy tomorrow. Evolution is
increasingly our responsibility,
our choice.

IN GRATITUDE
Ioannis Miaoulis, Lisa Randall,
Rick and Nonnie Burnes
The COLBY HONORS
Rick Burnes, who served
as chairman of the board of
trustees from 2004 to
2010 and co-chaired The
Campaign for the Museum
of Science, joins the ranks
of generous benefactors
honored with the Colonel
Francis T. Colby Award, the
institution’s highest
philanthropic recognition.
Members of the Colby Society, Museum friends whose lifetime giving totals in excess of $100,000, gathered on September 21 to honor
trustee Rick Burnes for his decades-long service and commitment to
the institution. Ioannis Miaoulis, president and director, began the
evening with a fond remembrance of Jane Bradley, trustee emerita
and 2012 Colby honoree, who passed away on September 14.
Rick, co-founder of Charles River Ventures, and his wife Nonnie, a
retired Massachusetts superior court judge, made their first gift to the
Museum in 1968. Since that time, they have supported virtually every
Museum funding priority. Rick has also been a board member at the
Boston Lyric Opera, Cantata Singers, the Boston Center for Adult
Education, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. In May
2014, he was named chair of the WGBH board of trustees.
In a video produced for the event, Rick talked about a few Museum
highlights in recent years, including our K—12 engineering curricula, the Hall of Human Life, and The Science Behind Pixar. “When I
talk to people about why the Museum is important, I say it’s because
we need a healthy economy. We need a healthy democracy. We need
voters who understand why changes are taking place and where they
potentially can lead. This Museum is about the future. This Museum
is about new ideas. It’s about the future of kids. It’s about their ability
to grow, to realize their potential. And that’s the kind of organization
that we like to support.”

organization of the Museum of Science. The Walker Prize, presented
annually at the Colby Society dinner, recognizes meritorious published
investigation and discovery in any scientific field.
This year’s Walker Prize was awarded to Lisa Randall, the Baird
Professor of Science at Harvard University, whose research connects
theoretical insights addressing puzzles in our current understanding
of the properties of matter, the universe, and space. Professor Randall
is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American
Philosophical Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
She has received many awards, honorary degrees, and prestigious
designations, including TIME’s “100 Most Influential People” and Esquire’s
“75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century.”
Her books, Warped Passages (2005) and Knocking on Heaven’s Door
(2011), were featured on the New York Times’ lists of “100 Notable
Books.” Her e-book, Higgs Discovery: The Power of Empty Space,
was published in 2012. Professor Randall has also pursued art-science
connections, writing a libretto for Hypermusic Prologue: A Projective
Opera in Seven Planes, which premiered at the Pompidou Center in
Paris. She also co-curated the art exhibit Measure for Measure for the
Los Angeles Arts Association. In 2012, and her new book, Dark Matter
and the Dinosaurs, was just published by Ecco Books she received
the Andrew Gemant Award from the American Institute of Physics, for
contributions to the cultural, artistic, or humanistic dimension of physics.

OF NOTE
ASTC LEADING EDGE AWARD TO LARRY BELL
The Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) recently honored Larry Bell, senior vice
president, with the Roy L. Shafer Leading Edge Award for Leadership in the Field, at the Palais
de congress de Montreal, Quebec, Canada, during ASTC’s annual conference.
“Larry Bell has an unsurpassed knowledge of—and passion for—informal STEM education,”
said Anthony Rock, ASTC president and CEO. “A fantastic partner on important projects that
serve our entire field, he has earned tremendous respect from his peers.”
In recognizing Bell’s impact, ASTC highlighted three innovations that have shaped visitor engagement with science
across the field of informal science education: his groundbreaking Science Is an Activity exhibit plan; Forums, a new
museum learning model for informed decision-making; and a first-of-a-kind national Nanoscale Informal Science
Education Network involving the public in cutting-edge science, engineering, and technology.
“We are thrilled by ASTC’s recognition of Larry,” says Museum of Science president and director Ioannis Miaoulis.
“His extraordinary intellect, creativity, and vast experience in the design of interactive exhibits and programs have
shaped the educational process and impact of the Museum for over four decades.”
MUSEUM AND ASU RECEIVE
NOAA GRANT
ALABAMA SELECTS MUSEUM CURRICULUM FOR
STEM INITIATIVE
The Museum of Science and Arizona
State University’s Consortium for
Science, Policy & Outcomes are
among the six institutions awarded an
Environmental Literacy Grant from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). The NOAA
Grants Program funds projects that
strengthen environmental literacy
among the public and elementary and
high school students.
The Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) has
selected a curriculum developed at the Museum for a statewide program
to improve STEM education and promote educational equity. The awardwinning Engineering is Elementary® (EiE®) curriculum, created by the
Museum’s National Center for Technological Literacy®, will be made
available to schools through 11 AMSTI support centers around the state,
eventually reaching up to 140,000 elementary students.
The project, “Science Center Public
Forums: Community Engagement
for Environmental Literacy, Improved
Resilience, and Decision-Making,” will
use the more than $300,000 in NOAA
funding to develop locally-based
forums hosted by community science
centers and create replicable models
for learning and engagement.
“People across our nation are facing an
increasing number of extreme weather
events,” says U.S. Senator Edward
J. Markey (D-Mass.). “This new
collaboration between the Museum
of Science, Arizona State University,
and NOAA will improve community
resilience by creating key partnerships
that will increase awareness of and
develop solutions to environmental
threats.”
26
Alabama recently adopted new science standards that make engineering
practices part of K – 12 instruction, creating a need for curricula to help
schools meet the standards. “We chose our STEM curricula through a
very rigorous selection process, with an emphasis on hands-on, inquirybased learning,” says ASMTI director Steve Ricks. “We’re really happy to
bring in EiE to help meet those goals.”
With half of Alabama’s 1,100 elementary schools considered official
AMSTI schools, Ricks estimates that over the next few years, about
140,000 elementary students will learn with EiE. The Museum’s
engineering curriculum is in use nationwide, including statewide in
Delaware, in Iowa through the state’s STEM Scale-up Program, in the
nation’s military schools, and district wide in Baltimore, Washington,
DC, and Minneapolis. In all, EiE has reached more than 9 million
students and nearly 100,000 teachers.
The EiE connection to the AMSTI center at the University of Alabama
dates back to 2007, when the UAH Institute for Science Education
brought the curriculum to several local schools with support from
NASA/MSFC and Boeing. Later, in 2011, Raytheon made a $2 million
award to the Museum for initiatives designed to bring EiE to high-needs
districts across the country; one of these initiatives established three
“EiE hub sites” for professional development, including the Institute
for Science Education / AMSTI support center at the University of
Alabama. Another Raytheon supported initiative awarded a scholarship
to Alabama’s Athens City Schools. From February 2013 to January 2015,
Raytheon support helped bring EiE to 12,440 Alabama students.
