- Science Discovery Center of Oneonta
The Science Discovery Center of Oneonta is a hands on science museum that is a part of SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, New York. The museum features more than eighty simple science experiments, focusing mainly on physics, for children, as well as for adults. The museum was the result of the hard work and dedication of Albert Read, a physics professor at SUNY Oneonta from 1957 - 1985. After his retirement, he planned and designed the Center and housed it in a room formerly used for batting practice. The official dedication took place on January 21, 1990.[Cite web|url=http://old.thedailystar.com/opinion/columns/simonson/2007/07/simonson0723.html|title=Reads Gave Back to Community|accessdate=2008-05-27|year=2007-07-23|author=Mark Simonson|work=The Daily Star] From its opening in 1990 to the time of Read's retirement as director in 2005, the museum had doubled the number of exhibits, although its attendance had dropped off significantly due to a limited marketing budget. ][Cite web|url=http://old.thedailystar.com/news/stories/2005/11/04/read3.html|title=Retired Director Says He'll Still Help Out|accessdate=2008-05-27|year=2005-11-04|author=Justin Alston|work=The Daily Star] ]References
