Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Betty has indeed retired, but her legacy lives on. I'd suggest contacting
Christine Reich, our head of Research and Evaluation. She could certainly
steer you at resources on what has been done at the Museum of Science and
in the broader field.
Good luck,

Museum of Science, Boston
