DeLuca Forum, Discovery Building

Where science meets improv!. Join the Illuminating Discovery Hub and Amalgam Improv for an evening fusing science and spontaneous improv comedy like no other at Sci-Prov! Sci-prov combines science and improv in creative, funny, and never before seen ways. Scientists will present their work in short, digestible presentations followed by brief Q&A, all of which can become fodder for the improv scenes. The improv scenes are created on the fly & unique to each show. CONTACT: 316-4390, info@wiscifest.org URL: https://www.wisconsinsciencefest.org/event/sci-prov/

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. Join us for a conversation about the future of research funding in America!
