Tag: education

As part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, WID contributes to the education mission of the university, but several WID researchers are also engaged in research and outreach related to education, from educational video games to science programs created for educators. WID also supports the Kohler Fellows, a group of graduate students committed to interdisciplinary thought and approaching their graduate education in a dynamic, collaborative way.

The Small World Initiative is an innovative program that encourages students to pursue careers in science while addressing a worldwide health threat – the diminishing supply of effective antibiotics. The Small World Initiative is an important part of the Discovery Dialogue Hub .
