Close Modal Don’t Waste a Second Celebrate the Being Human spotlight at the Museum of Science during a special evening examining the resiliency and beautiful determination of humanity. What does it take to make our dreams come true in the face of discrimination and unexpected hurdles? How can we advocate for ourselves and each other in the face of societal pressures to make the world a more inclusive space for all? How can we learn and grow from the challenges throughout our lives? Join Emily Falcon, author of From the Sidelines to the Finish Line, to hear about her experiences growing up with a congenital heart condition and the life-changing open-heart surgery she underwent as an adult. You’ll also hear other inspirational stories of self-advocacy from special guests, such as an astronaut who faced a grueling journey to achieve their lifelong dream of flying into space and Drag performers who discuss the discrimination and harassment their community must face simply to share their art with the world. Everyone has something holding them back in life, but through these personal reflections you’ll leave inspired to advocate for yourself, believe in your abilities, test your boundaries, and never again waste a single second.This program is free, thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute.
