Museum Partners
The NSF BioXFEL STC has partnered with museums to grow public knowledge and understanding of XFEL science. Our collaborative programs reach students, educators and the general public. Through our combined efforts we offer lectures, workshops and soon, a rotating exhibit.
The Arizona Science Center has hosted the BioXFEL Center for one of it Adult's Night Out speaker series.

The Buffalo Museum of Science is currently working with the BioXFEL Center to build a permanent installation on XFEL Science in their ‘Our Marvelous Earth’ venue. Our BioXFEL science exhibit includes graphical information, interactive videos, quizzes and even an XFEL game. The museum works with the Center to program XFEL science into its Science Cafes for visitors as well as professional development opportunities for educators. The BSM has an extensive collection of over 700,000 specimens and artifacts representing all facets of the natural world with an emphasis on Western New York as well as man-made objects spanning the globe.
