The MUSC - Medical University of South Carolina is paving the way for Charleston’s future as a knowledge-based economy with the launch of Blue Sky Labs, the first major step in its Innovation District. This initiative will spark new ideas, inspire future scientists, and bring lasting economic growth to the region. “A young person who grows up in Charleston, if we have a vibrant education district and a culture that engenders, they should be able to physically see themselves there and maybe something might spark an interest,” Medical University of South Carolina President Dr. David Cole said. “They would understand what’s going on rather than ‘I don’t know what they do in that building, (so) I don’t see how that’s relevant to me.’” https://loom.ly/yIZyYkQ
