Center for Postnatural History
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
It might sound like some nefarious government agency, but in fact, the Center for Postnatural History is actually a curated collection of organisms that have been altered by — who else — humans, or otherwise chosen for "Artificial Selection". Examples include Round Up-Ready Corn, a BioSteel goat that produces spider proteins in its milk, which can then be turned into Kevlar, "atomic" rodents exposed to radiation during the Manhattan Project, and GloFish, which glow under UV light. Thankfully, the Center avoids taking sides in the debate over the morality of such experimentation, instead presenting each specimen cleanly, with a few basic facts. We could certainly think of worse ways to spend an afternoon in the Steel City.
