WID welcomes the newest Marie Christine Kohler Fellows, an interdisciplinary program uniting science and the humanities. Fellows collaborate on research, outreach, and creative projects. Originally a residential program, it evolved into a WID-Graduate School partnership. Each year, artist-scientist pairs receive stipends to foster innovation.
With the goal of equipping a new generation of professionals to contribute to informed decision-making in government, the envisioned program would offer STEM fellows the unique chance to work directly with policy makers, state agencies, and legislators.
