UWM joined the statewide Wisconsin Science Festival last weekend, giving the public an opportunity to experience free, hands-on programs on topics ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright’s design secrets to the centennial of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.
The goal was to reach people with positive messages about research in a way they will remember, said Vice Provost Phyllis King.
UWM staged six entertaining shows aimed at older students and adults. Presenters included Patrick Brady (Department of Physics), Frankie Flood (Peck School of the Arts), Mark Keane (School of Architecture & Urban Planning), Jean Creighton (Manfred Olson Planetarium), Kyle Ebersole, Carlynn Alt, Barbara Meyer and Courtney Fisher-Hess (College of Health Sciences), and the School of Freshwater Sciences.
This was the third year the festival was celebrated statewide under the direction of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, UW-Madison and the Morgridge Institute for Research.
