SUMMARY:Exploring Climate Solutions: Electrify Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Wondering what the next step is in reducing your carbon footprint after changing your lightbulbs and using reusable bags? Worried that your home is just too old to ever go green? Explore a 90+ year old home and learn what it took to make it solar-powered and fossil-fuel free\, along with tips for doing the same yourself. Kids and adults alike can get hands-on with solar power\, exploring how a solar panel can power lights and fans\, and what benefits a battery can add to the system. Learn about trees as another climate solution\, and all the benefits of forest products and household and community trees. Stop in at any time during open house hours to explore climate solutions! \nThis is one of a series of events offered by the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education at UW-Stevens Point in partnership with the Wisconsin Science Festival. Check out more events from the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education here!

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:Crossroads of Ideas: Funding the Future of Science
DESCRIPTION:The Wisconsin Science Festival presents Crossroads of Ideas: Funding the Future of Science – How America Funds Discovery – Research\, Innovation\, and What Comes Next. \nHow 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. \nJoin us for a conversation about the future of research funding in America. Panelists will explore the opportunities and challenges of different models and consider what may be at stake for universities\, researchers\, industry\, and society as the nation rethinks how discovery is supported. \nRegistration is requested\, register here! This event will take place in the DeLuca Forum in the Discovery Building.
