Things to See and Do in the Boston Area
     Boston is like Disneyland for scientists. The number of laboratories, both academic and commercial, concentrated within the Boston area is perhaps unparalleled. One could truly make a career out of attending lectures and seminars at area institutions. That said, outside of lab the area offers an incredible array of sights and attractions whether one is a sports fan, a history buff, enjoys the out-of-doors, likes to sail, is a beach comber, or among the enthusiasts of any one of an incredible variety of other enjoyable activities.
