SUMMARY:Badger Talk: The Chemistry of Space
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, in-person talk hosted on October 20\, 2026 at 6:00 PM by Columbus Public Library in Columbus\, WI. There will be a virtual option for this event. Registration is required to attend via Zoom and is preferred for in-person attendance. Please register by calling (920)-623-5910 or through the library’s website. \nInterstellar clouds house the ingredients that become building blocks for new stars and planets. Understanding how molecules form in these regions gives us clues about how life on Earth may have started\, and where life might exist elsewhere in the Universe. \nSusanna Widicus Weaver\, Vozza Professor of Chemistry and Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin\, is an expert in prebiotic astrochemistry. Her research\, combining laboratory spectroscopy\, observational astronomy\, and chemical modeling\, is aimed at understanding the mechanisms driving interstellar chemistry and the pathways for the formation of life. She received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Illinois Wesleyan University (2000) and her Ph.D. in chemistry at Caltech (2005). She was a postdoctoral fellow in Chemistry and Astronomy at the University of Illinois from 2005-2008. Before moving to Wisconsin\, she was a Professor of Chemistry at Emory University.

SUMMARY:Scientists in all of US
DESCRIPTION:There is a Scientist in all of us! Join us at the Pauline Haass Public Library to discover the science hidden in everyday life. We’re bringing science “down to earth” as we learn to think like scientists about the big and small things we do every day.\nWe’ll also explore how our local community helpers use science to get the job done! Have you ever wondered how science keeps us safe\, helps us cook a meal\, gets us from place to place\, or keeps us healthy? Here is your chance to turn that curiosity into discovery!

SUMMARY:Badger Talk - ACORNS (Activities for Community Outreach in STEM)
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, in-person talk hosted on October 17\, 2026 at 1:00 PM by Iron Ridge Public Library in Iron Ridge\, WI. Registration is encouraged\, but not required. More info to come on how to register. There will be no virtual option for this event. This event is a part of the Wisconsin Science Festival!\n\nStudies show that feelings of belonging are the number one indicator of retention in STEM. The ability of students to see themselves in STEM spaces is crucial to building this sense of belonging. At the same time\, students are only able to envision themselves as scientists in as much as they are doing science. An ACORNS program is a highly interactive\, tactile STEM-themed activity. These could include modeling planet formation with ice cream and cookies\, exploring stellar fusion with the ingredients of s’mores\, and measuring the speed of light using a chocolate bar.\n\nThis shift from a lecture-style format to a hands-on\, student-led dialogue allows for an immersive STEM experience\, highlighting both that science can be fun\, accessible\, and messy\, but also that anyone is capable of doing it\, regardless of expertise. Science is a state of mind\, defined by curiosity–and every person has plenty of that.\n\nZach Lewis is a graduate student in astronomy at UW-Madison. His research focuses on the evolution of elements inside galaxies. He uses JWST observations of distant galaxies to characterize how stars produce elements and eject them into their host galaxy\, and how those elements then escape the galaxy or form new stars.

SUMMARY:Rube Goldberg Build Session with Illustrator Ed Steckley
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Deforest Public Library for a morning of fun building with award winning illustrator Ed Steckley! \nAll you need is a good imagination and a pile of junk to start inventing! Ed comes prepared supplying the pile of junk; an entire truck load! \nStudents will engage in hands-on building utilizing common everyday objects\, often seen in Rube Golderg projects. Ed helps visualize possible solutions\, alternative solutions\, and potential roadblocks to the build. \nParticipants will experience the necessity of trial & error firsthand\, with the ultimate takeaway of learning from failure.
