The Sciencenter is pleased to announce the installation of a new series of Science by the Stream trailside signage along the Cascadilla Creek pedestrian pathway in the Fall Creek neighborhood alongside the museum. Developed with local middle school students and community partners, the outdoor exhibit invites visitors to discover the plants, animals, and ecosystems that make Cascadilla Creek a vital community resource. 

The Sciencenter’s Executive Director Michelle Kortenaar will retire at the end of February 2027 after 17 years of leadership and service to the museum, including over seven years as Executive Director. 

Bridges to Bioengineering will be a 1,500 square-foot bilingual (Spanish/English) traveling exhibition with supporting activities that foster an understanding of biomedical engineering (BME) and the innovative ways that it is used to address issues in medicine and public health. This unique co-development approach immerses Sciencenter staff in BME content while directly involving Cornell BME graduate students into the exhibit design and evaluation process.
