Merging Art & Science: MIT Koch Institute Gallery is a Must See

On my way to a meeting at MIT, I happened to spot some stunning photos through the window of what turned out to be the Philip Alden Russell Gallery David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. While cancer research would not seem to be much of a draw, the gallery is well...

Loved Lowell Open Studios and Arts Festival

I was wonderfully suprised and impressed by Lowell's open studios--held this weekend in the old milltown about 45 minutes north of Cambridge. I was happy that an exhibit in a downtown gallery focusing on cat subjects did not make me itch. Very much.
