Illuminating Discovery is rooted in collaboration and the exchange of ideas. It’s about engaging in dialogue, embracing diverse perspectives, and building on one another’s insights to deepen our shared understanding. By fusing artistic expression with a scientific lens, we illuminate complex ideas in ways that are creative, accessible, and thought-provoking.
Housed within the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery—an interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Wisconsin–Madison—the Illuminating Discovery Hub cultivates public trust, appreciation, and understanding of science. We harness the power of the arts to communicate both fundamental and complex scientific concepts, creating experiences that spark curiosity and meaningful engagement.
