Illuminating Discovery
Loading Events
Explore how trends, plans, viewpoints, projects, materials, and sounds develop. Where we are and where we might be headed in the future.

All year, SoundWaves will explore the concept of Development. In our first event, we ask: How did the development of monotheism affect human society? How do plants evolve, and how do we help them evolve? What is all this about AI? How does research and creativity give birth to a novel? And what does development mean in the context of music? Find out on October 18, at 7:30pm in the DeLuca Forum in the Discovery Building. This SoundWaves event is part of the Wisconsin Science Festival.

William Tracy, Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences

Michael Bell, Community and Environmental Sociology

Jerry Zhu, Computer Science

Michelle Wildgen, WID Writer-in-Residence
