miSci would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for this year’s Big Bang: Building Our Future, presented by GE Aerospace, on May 7th.

With more than 130 guests in attendance, together we raised over $50,000 in support of miSci’s mission to celebrate education, explore innovation, and inspire future generations. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our community, sponsors, trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters.

This evening was especially meaningful as we carried forward the vision and passion of our late President, Chris Hunter. We are proud to continue building the future he believed so deeply in, and we hope this year‘s event made him proud.

Thank you for being part of such an unforgettable evening and for helping ensure miSci’s impact continues for generations to come. We hope to see you all again at next year‘s Big Bang!

Our longtime archivist, president, and friend Chri

Our longtime archivist, president, and friend Chris Hunter passed away today.

Over his more than 25 years at miSci Chris worked tirelessly to preserve the history of science and technology, and to list all the treasures he kept safe would be far too long to post. His devotion to the Museum, to miSci's Archives, and to Schenectady can't be overstated. When we post historic photos, film, or artifacts here- it's only possible because of Chris's work.

We at the Museum are deeply saddened by his passing, but we're grateful to have known and worked with him. He leaves an inspiring legacy for us to follow as we go on.

This isn't a luxurious living room- it's actually a radio studio!

This photo from our archives (we added a touch of color) features a harpist playing for the radio station WGY nearly 103 years ago.

The lamp is actually a disguised microphone- it kept artists from being nervous back before microphones were common.
