This institute is named in honor of the late Margret and Hans
A. Rey, co-creators of the remarkable Curious George
books. Margret, like her world-famous literary creation, infused
immeasurable joy into the lives of all those who had the privilege of
sharing her company. Her extraordinary generosity has enabled us to
pursue our mission as a laboratory without
walls, in the spirit of that playful primate who serves as a most
fitting emblem of scientific curiosity and exploration.
