Science for the Public! Careers in Science Centers and Museums Karen E. Kalumuck, Ph.D Principal, Karen Kalumuck Consulting Scientist and Educator, emeritus, Exploratorium

“Informal Science” Science Centers, Museums

Role of Science Centers Establish Science as a presence in the community Provide first hand experience with genuine scientific tools and phenomena Encourage Curiosity

“No One Ever Failed A Museum” Frank Oppenheimer, scientist and founder of the Exploratorium

Scientist as Resource for Content and Education Exhibit developer Teacher Professional Development Public Programs – events, talks, demonstrations, webcasts etc. Staff Training Explainers, field trip guides; classes for children Writers, exhibit text, web content, podcasts Behind-the-scenes Liaison to research community

Exhibit Development an art learned on-the-job Costs; development, fabrication, maintenance, prep time; robustness; facilities Multiple entry points for a diverse audience; is it “interesting”? Exhibit vs. Demo Footprint Appropriate for collection

Teacher Professional Development Providing hands-on experiences doable in the classroom One-hit or long term programs A resource outside of school/district One teacher teaches hundreds of students Activity collections, websites and publications for the classroom

Public Programs Anything occurring at the museum that is not an exhibit Live talks, demonstrations, “webcasts” “In house” expert

Comparison with Academia Scientific research (-) Learning/museum research (+) Compensation varies “Soft” money No tenure; No sabbaticals Creativity within the mission and long term plans

Path(s) to job

No Standard Path; No training program Volunteer; offer your scientific expertise Gain experience with public communication on a broad range of scientific topics (schools, science cafés, etc.) Internships, Fellowships Museum studies programs Association of Science and Technology Centers
