SUMMARY:Frank Lloyd Wright and Georgia O’Keeffe: Imagining Midwestern Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Born twenty years and sixty miles apart in southwest Wisconsin\, Frank Lloyd Wright and Georgia O’Keeffe were deeply influenced by the unique landscapes of the late-nineteenth century Midwest. Friends for many years\, O’Keeffe and Wright’s only documented meeting was at Taliesin in 1942 — an experience that helped inspire a painting O’Keeffe later gifted to Wright. In her new book\, Through the Long Desert: Georgia O’Keeffe and Frank Lloyd Wright (Rizzoli Electa\, September 2025)\, author Sarah Rovang considers both their enduring friendship and the influence of place and landscape writ large on the artistic development and careers of these two twentieth-century American icons. This talk emphasizes their shared origins in Wisconsin and interrogates how they carried early exposure to the divergent landscapes of Spring Green and Sun Prairie into their later work. \nThis lecture features new material not included in the book and never before publicly presented\, including analysis of Wright and O’Keeffe’s creative engagement with the iconic red barns of Wisconsin. Rovang’s book\, created in association with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum\, will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.

SUMMARY:Nature Explorers: Join the Wisconsin BioBlitz!
DESCRIPTION:Nature Explorers: Join the annual WiSciFest BioBlitz! \nHave you ever wondered how many species exist in our environment? From the shores of Lake Michigan to the forests of the Northwoods or the soil in your backyard\, Wisconsin is teeming with life – and the Wisconsin Science Festival is launching a statewide BioBlitz project to learn more! \nWhat is a BioBlitz? \nA BioBlitz activity tries to measure as much life as possible within a defined space and time. Interested in bugs? Spend an afternoon counting all the insects at a local park. Teaching a unit on plants? Take your class to count all the flowering species you can find in a nearby meadow. Feeling ambitious? Organize your community to count every species you can find during the Wisconsin Science Festival. A BioBlitz can take place in a park\, a school\, an urban lot or your backyard. The possibilities are endless! BioBlitzes are a way to bring the community together to celebrate biodiversity while experiencing the wonder of nature in all of its fabulous niches. \nYour Mission \nDuring the Wisconsin Science Festival Bioblitz\, join with people from all across the state from sunrise on the first day of the Festival until sunset on the last day. Download the iNaturalist app on your device (optional but encouraged)\, find at least 10 species in the environment around you and add your observations to the Wisconsin Science Festival Bioblitz project on iNaturalist.

SUMMARY:Finding Your Place in Science: A reflective writing workshop on belonging\, identity\, and scientific paths
DESCRIPTION:A scientific identity – essentially\, whether a person feels they belong in the world of science —is associated with longevity and success in STEM-related fields. But what does it mean to belong in science? Does it matter if you identify as a science person? \nAs part of the Wisconsin Science Festival\, the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID) is offering a writing workshop focused on scientific identity\, aimed at undergrad and graduate students\, but also open to the public. We’ll discuss some of the components researchers have identified as part of this sense of belonging in science; consider some of the conscious and unconscious assumptions we might have about who belongs in science; and expand our definitions and explore how varied a scientific identity can be. With a mix of discussion in small and large groups and impromptu writing\, we’ll investigate the broad concept of an identity and how it can be useful in the face of obstacles. Finally\, we’ll consider the more specific idea of belonging in the scientific realm\, what helps you find that sense of belonging and what might prevent it. \nThis workshop is not solely for people who already feel they belong–plenty of people study and work in science without being certain if they do–but for anyone who is interested in using writing and discussion to consider and clarify what this concept of scientific identity means to you. \nThis workshop is led by the Illuminating Discovery Hub’s Writer-in-Residence\, Michelle Wildgen.

SUMMARY:Michelle Thaller: Cosmic Treasures – Chasing Asteroids for Clues to the Origins of Life
DESCRIPTION:Join Michelle Thaller\, former NASA science communicator\, for an evening exploring the origins of life. Thaller\, in conversation with Eric Wilcots\, Dean of the College of Letters & Sciences and Professor in the Dept of Astronomy\, will talk about the OSIRIS-REx mission – an audacious project to return a sample from an asteroid. No problem\, right? Just chase down a small rock 200 million miles away\, traveling literally faster than a speeding bullet\, vacuum up a sample of its surface\, and shoot it back to Earth. The story turned out to be more difficult\, dramatic\, and rewarding than anyone expected. Join us to find out why we went to so much trouble to bring back an ancient sample of our solar system and what was waiting inside that absolutely blew our minds.
