Journeys to Discovery

The Lasker Foundation produces short films about Lasker Award winners and their journeys to discovery. The stories told in these films aim to inspire young people to pursue careers in medical science, and to raise public awareness of the brilliant, provocative science behind the prizes.

Lasker films are screened at the Marion Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C. and are distributed to selected high schools. A DVD of one of the films, produced by Windfall Digital, can be obtained from the office of the Lasker Foundation.
