Faces of Science: The people behind our science
Meet the scientists behind the science at Los Alamos. Many of them felt a calling to science at an early age...now they work at a world-class research facility where childhood dreams have become reality. Use your cell phone or borrow one of ours to listen to their stories of dedication to solving world problems.
BSM website selected as Webby Award Honoree

Downtown Friday Nights is sponsored by the Los Alamos Creative District in coordination with local businesses and cultural organizations.
An arduino is a single-board microcontroller with an open-source platform designed to make the process of using electronics in multidisciplinary projects more accessible.
The Bradbury Science Museum is joining more than 1,800 other museums nationwide to honor the nation's active-duty personnel and their families.
Take the tour and listen to the stories while here at the Museum or watch the videos featured on the Faces of Science web page.
