Back in April, 109 donors (and some generous matching grants) helped us raise $32,240 dollars during the UW-Madison’s annual “Day of the Badger” fundraising campaign.

Called “Flow,” the art microgrant project will provide funding to ten undergraduate artists to produce art in partnership with water …

Late yesterday afternoon, the first van pulled out of the Hasler Lab parking lot. Loaded down with a handful of Zoology 750 grad students, and all sorts of gear – from nets to shovels to bright orange construction fencing – the van was headed to catch a ferry, one that was eighteen hours and four …
