A loose-limbed skeleton named Phineus stole the show at a lower school science assembly in October that explored the musculoskeletal system.  The program was one of several that came to Friends Select when The Franklin (formerly the Franklin Institute of Science) hosted 2,500 science professionals at the Association of Science and Technology Centers conference in October.  Presenters from the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Boston Museum of Science, the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, and The Franklin brought their shows to the school.  Around 50 science professionals observed the programs.
