I served as Curator of the "BioCorner" Embryology
Exhibit, at Pittsburgh's original Buhl Planetarium and
Institute of Popular Science from 1983 to 1987. In
this exhibit, we hatched chicks [and occasionally
ducklings] in front of the public every weekend. You
can read more about this exhibit at this link:
