Exploring Wonder and Connection at the Museum of Jurassic Technology

Last November, Telecare’s Los Angeles community leaders had the privilege of visiting the Museum of Jurassic Technology and meeting its founder, David Wilson, brother of Telecare's dear late CMO, Dr. Steve Wilson, the visionary behind Telecare’s RCCS.

It’s impossible to fully describe this museum, which filmmaker Werner Herzog once called “one of the wonders of the world.” From intricate miniatures to real-life circus characters, Renaissance instruments handcrafted by David, and even a room dedicated to American RV culture, the experience was unforgettable. Among the exhibits, the team saw the first Narcan (Naloxone), once used as an anti-love potion, and the earliest lithium salts used to treat manic episodes.

After exploring, the group enjoyed tea in the rooftop garden and spoke with David about his brother’s legacy, RCCS, and the fascinating intersections between art, science, and mental health. David shared how deeply moved he was by the recent ceremony renaming Telecare’s Gladman program name to Steve Wilson Recovery Center.

“I always thought of RCCS as my brother’s thing. I didn’t realize it would live beyond him and continue changing lives,” shared David.

The visit provided a meaningful opportunity to honor Dr. Steve Wilson’s legacy while experiencing the wonder of a place where art, science, and humanity intersect. If you’re ever in Los Angeles, the Museum of Jurassic Technology is a must-visit destination that celebrates the curiosity and connection that defined Dr. Wilson’s approach to mental healthcare.
