Ask a Broadie & Be a Researcher
Ask a Broadie is a digital, interactive experience for visitors to meet scientists with the Broad Institute, learn about their work, and be inspired. Visitors can select from a list of questions to ask each scientist and see a video response.
Be a Researcher is an interactive, digital experience where visitors can help discover the biological mechanism of a disease and develop a new strategy for treatment.
