Join us for an engaging faculty seminar as Plant Pathology Associate Professor Claudia Solís-Lemus presents 'Evolving Methods for a Tangled Tree of Life' on Tuesday, October 27, at 2 pm. She will be introduced with a lay explanation by WID Writer in Residence Michelle Wildgen, author of Wine People. The event will take place in the Orchard View Room, Discovery Building, UW–Madison Campus, and is free and open to the public.
The Wisconsin Science Festival presents Crossroads of Ideas: Funding the Future of Science – How America Funds Discovery – Research, Innovation, and What Comes Next.

How we fund research shapes what questions get asked, which ideas have the opportunity to grow, and how discoveries move into the world. For decades, the U.S. has relied heavily on a university-centered model, but the landscape of research funding is evolving, with new approaches and priorities emerging.
This first SoundWaves event of the year launches our year-long exploration of Origins. Part of the Wisconsin Science Festival and Klez Fest Midwest, this event looks at The Beginning of Everything. How did the universe come to be, and how have scientists thought about the universe’s origins in the past? Special musical guests The Klezmatics, perhaps the most important and popular klezmer band of all time, will then look at the origins of klezmer music, followed by a performance that will wow you.

UW–Madison Land Acknowledgement

The Office of Compliance occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin.
We acknowledge the circumstances that led to the forced removal of the Ho-Chunk people, and honor their legacy of resistance and resilience. This history of colonization informs our work and vision for a collaborative future. We recognize and respect the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation and the other 11 Native Nations within the boundaries of the state of Wisconsin.
