SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Growing Without Gravity
DESCRIPTION:Can plants thrive amid the zero-gravity chaos of space?  Could the stars themselves hold the recipe for life?  Join Crossroads to find out!\n\n\nReady to leave Earthly bounds behind? Join us for an absolutely out-of-this-world Crossroads of Ideas\, where astrobiology and astrochemistry come together in cosmic fashion! Plant biologist Dr. Simon Gilroy and astrochemist Dr. Susanna Widicus Weaver are your guides for an evening of star-studded discovery\, diving into everything from the surprising resilience of plants in space to the chemistry that could hint at life beyond our planet. Moderated by Eric Wilcots\, this event will tackle cosmic questions like: How do plants handle the zero-gravity chaos of space? Could the stars themselves hold the recipe for life? With Gilroy’s upcoming plant experiment on the International Space Station and Weaver’s quest to uncover the secrets of interstellar molecules\, this is more than a talk—it’s an invitation to explore life’s mysteries among the stars! \n \nGuest presenters Simon Gilroy\, Susanna Widicus Weaver\, and moderated by Eric Wilcots. \nDr. Simon Gilroy is a plant biologist whose research seeks to understand how plants and microbes respond to the alien world of spaceflight. He received his bachelor’s degree in botany from the university of Cambridge in England and a Ph.D. in plant biochemistry from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He pursued postdoctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley before becoming a faculty member at PennState and then moving to his current position in the Department of Botany at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007. He is a fellow of the American Society for the Advancement of Science and a recipient UW-Madison’s Bassam Shakashiri Public Science Engagement Award. He serves on NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee and is currently preparing to send his seventh plant experiment to the International Space Station in March 2025. \n \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 in 2020\, she was a Professor of Chemistry at Emory University. She is the Provisional Director of the Wisconsin Center for Origins Research at UW-Madison. She is also a member of the Chemical Sciences Roundtable at the National Academy of Sciences. \n\n\nWe value inclusion and access for all participants. If you would like to request reasonable accommodations to enhance your participation experience\, please email idhub@wid.wisc.edu no later than 2 weeks prior to the event. This event is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Wisconsin's Role in Shaping the Future of Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Glenda Gillaspy (UW-Madison College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) moderates a lively panel discussion.\n\n\nThis engaging panel discussion will take a deeper look into the innovation and tradition of Wisconsin agriculture and the opportunities and challenges we face at the leading edge of sustainable systems. Moderated by Dr. Glenda Gillaspy\, Dean of UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences\, and featuring researchers who are helping establish Wisconsin as the leader in agricultural advancement and innovation. \nPanelists: \n\nDr. Julie Dawson – Professor in the UW-Madison Department of Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences and Extension Specialist for Regional Food Systems. Research and extension interests include plant breeding for organic systems and participatory research in regional food systems. She is an academic cooperator with the USDA on the Farmer Seed Liaison initiative\, focused on promoting fair competition and innovation in the seed industry.\nDr. Randy Jackson – Joined the Department of Agronomy (now the Department of Plant & Agroecosystem Sciences) at UW-Madison in 2003. Jackson teaches Grassland Ecology and co-instructs Agroecology-An Introduction to the Ecology of Food and Agriculture. His grassland ecology group studies how carbon and nutrients flow into\, within\, and out of grassland ecosystems\, including prairie\, pasture\, and row-crop communities.\nDr. Rebecca Smith – Assistant professor of plant and agroecosystem sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a researcher with the Wisconsin Energy Institute and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC). Smith’s research focuses on how to make alter the plant cell wall to improve plant digestibility\, animal nutrition\, and dairy sustainability.\nDr. Shawn Conley – Professor and the State Soybean and Small Grain Specialist at the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. Conley leads the UW Soybean Research Program “a.k.a. The UW BeanTeam” and actively collaborates across all disciplines to generate science-based solutions to address real world problems in soybean and small grain production systems.\n\nLink to full presenter bios. \nThis is a free event – registration is requested to ensure adequate seating. \n \n\n\nWe value inclusion and access for all participants. If you would like to request reasonable accommodations to enhance your participation experience\, please email idhub@wid.wisc.edu no later than 2 weeks prior to the event.
