The Broad Discovery Center is a new, free, public, educational space about how researchers at the Broad Institute and elsewhere tackle some of the toughest questions in biomedicine to understand human health and disease, and create new approaches for treatments. It’s located on the first floor of the Broad Institute’s headquarters (415 Main Street in Kendall Square, Cambridge). Exhibits address exhibits psychiatric conditions, cancer, infectious diseases, heart disease, diabetes, and rare genetic conditions. You can get a preview of its five galleries during the Cambridge Science Festival, October 3-6. It will open during regular business hours starting October 31 and will be staffed 10AM-3PM.
