We’d like to offer our thanks to everyone who joined us for the annual Big Bang Gala! The event was a resounding success and the proceeds will support miSci in its continuing mission.

On Friday evening, May 5, 2023, the Museum of Innovation and Science (miSci) Board of Trustees hosted its annual Big Bang Gala. This year’s event honors the contributions of Neil Golub since accepting the miSci stewardship baton from his wife and partner, the late Jane Golub. Their vision for how miSci could become a leading regional hands-on interactive explorium for science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) has catapulted the Museum into what it is today, a significant educational resource for the residents of the Greater Capital District.
