Hundreds of people came out to learn about science in fun and interesting ways at the Wisconsin Science Festival, held across the state Oct. 21-23, including several sites in the Milwaukee area hosted by UWM.
UWM’s presentation included subjects such as gravitational waves, how muscles work during sport and making 2,500-year-old beer.
