Presentations
Claimed to be the oldest stone structure in Massachusetts, the Old Powder House in Somerville has been standing since the early 18th century. At this event, Long Now Boston members can enjoy meeting others who are interested in the arc of the use of this land for hundreds of years and its ongoing symbolism in our region’s story. The event will start with a free docent tour by our very own Mary Mangan, with an informal picnic in the park to follow. We will discuss features and functions of this site over the centuries and into the future.

Biography
Mary has been fascinated with biology since spending summers at Hampton Beach engrossed by the tide pools. This led to degrees in Microbiology, Plant Cell Biology, and eventually a PhD in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology. Moving to computational biology, bioinformatics and genomics as those fields emerged, she finds databases are the new tide pools for her. And new waves keep washing interesting things in.
