Meet Sydney Bradley, a Marie Kohler fellow and graduate researcher in microbiology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Hosted by Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, the Kohler Fellowships, seek to bridge science and the humanities by pairing UW–Madison graduate students from diverse disciplines to collaborate on innovative research, public engagement, and creative exploration.  Bradley is working with R.J. Maupin, a stained-glass artist and PhD candidate researching the history of American glass production and the public performance of glassblowing across industrial and studio contexts. They aim to create art that “sparks conversations surrounding sustainable energy and highlights the many steps, people, and decisions involved in building sustainable energy systems.” Bradley hopes the fellowship will lead to a museum residency where she can actively engage people in discussions about science. “We want anyone, of any age, to be able to experience the wonders of the research taking place,” Bradley said. “I believe that if science is presented in artistic, colorful, or hands-on ways, people feel less limited by their background knowledge and more willing to engage with unfamiliar ideas.”
