Well, to see the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (1945 SE Water Ave) in Portland, OR, screening Young Frankenstein as part of the Science on Screen series was a bit weird, but to find out that Kenton Gregory, PH.D., Director of OHSU Center for Regenerative Medicine, just peaked my interest to AWESOME. I hope to make this one, but come on, OMSI. Get this guy back to tale about James Whale's Frankenstein in October! You'll find more details at the Facebook Event Page.
