Marty Klein recently assisted the MIT Museum with a unique exhibit about U.S. Navy and MIT involvement in side scan sonar development. Klein was a key pioneer in the commercial development of side scan sonar in the 1960s, and has been a life-long participant in developing this technology to explore Earth’s vast underwater world.

Klein will discuss his role in ocean exploration beginning with his association with MIT Professor Harold Edgerton, founding Klein Associates, and leading the development of ocean search and survey technology.

FREE and open to all.

Watch Webcast of Re:Design

In February '08 the MIT Museum presented Re:Design, A Dramatization of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin and Asa Gray. Written by Craig Baxter, produced by the Darwin Correspondence Project at Cambridge University in Great Britain, and developed by Paul Bourne and the Menagerie Theatre Company, this play is a lively interpretation of previously unpublished letters resulting from a wide collaboration of science educators and dramatists.
