Honoring Earl Bakken's Legacy with Alissa Light and Adrian Fischer, The Bakken Museum

The Medical Alley Podcast, presented by MentorMate

Forty years ago, Earl Bakken helped establish Medical Alley to ensure that Minnesota's healthcare ecosystem remained strong. Prior to helping found Medical Alley, Bakken famously founded Medtronic. But his inspiration and love of science and technology started as a kid when he fell in love with the movie "Frankenstein." Many years later, Bakken's legacy and his love of innovation and curiosity — and electricity — is preserved and told at the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis.
On this week's Medical Alley Podcast, Bakken Museum President and CEO Alissa Light and Adrian Fischer, curator of exhibits and collections at the museum, join to share more about the Bakken Musuem as an incubator for innovation. They also discuss the ways in which the Bakken Musuem is helping future generations of entrepreneurs and innovators by fostering a love of STEM in children through various programs and educational opportunities.
