科学博物馆与研究人员共同努力，将当前的科学发现和实践纳入博物馆参观者的非正式学习机会。许多这些努力都集中在创造机会和支持研究人员面对面地与公众互动，例如，通过扬声器系列，社区论坛和工程竞赛。然而，实践科学家可以通过其他方式在博物馆地板上找到声音-通过展品的设计和开发。在这里，我们描述了研究人员和博物馆专业人员如何共同努力，创造一个互动的科学博物馆创新的展览经验。对于每个示例：科学家作为（1）数据提供者，（2）顾问和（3）共同开发者，我们强调了成功合作的重要组成部分，以及在博物馆展览合作时要避免的陷阱。没有多少博物馆像探索博物馆一样制作原型并建造自己的展品。在这些情况下，在更多的中介服务中可能有类似的机会，如公开演示或讲座，或允许科学家和参观者直接互动的其他形式。我们相信，研究人员有很多机会分享自然现象，为展览开发和解释提供建议，提供急需的材料，并以其他方式将真实的研究纳入博物馆的学习体验，无论形式如何。
Science museums have made a concerted effort to work with researchers to incorporate current scientific findings and practices into informal learning opportunities for museum visitors. Many of these efforts have focused on creating opportunities and support for researchers to interact face-to-face with the public through, for example, speaker series, community forums, and engineering competitions. However, there are other means by which practicing scientists can find a voice on the museum floor—through the design and development of exhibits. Here we describe how researchers and museum professionals have worked together to create innovative exhibit experiences for an interactive science museum. For each example: scientist as (1) data providers, (2) advisors, and (3) co-developers, we highlight essential components for a successful partnership and pitfalls to avoid when collaborating on museum exhibits. Not many museums prototype and build their own exhibits like the Exploratorium. In those cases, there may be similar opportunities in more mediated offerings such as public demonstrations or lectures or in other formats that allow for direct interactions between scientists and visitors. We believe there are many opportunities for researchers to share natural phenomena, to advise on exhibit development and interpretation, to provide much needed materials, and to otherwise incorporate authentic research into the learning experiences at museums, no matter what the format.
