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.

SUMMARY:Science Story Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Julia Nepper \nThe Science Story Workshop introduces scientists to storytelling tools they can use to creatively explore their lives\, work\, and experiences in science. This workshop is not about science communication\, but something much more personal and potentially transformational for participants. In small groups of scientists\, Julia creates a safe community in which colleagues can investigate their subjective experiences in a field that aspires to objectivity. Through analyzing story arcs across cultures and character archetypes\, participants are encouraged to take a step back from their daily routine and reflect on their personal science story. How did they arrive where they are today? What drives them to be scientists and what discourages them from their goals? The tensions and conflicts that are scientists’ nightmares are storytellers’ dreams because they tell of the human struggle behind the successes. \nThe Science Story Workshop is for scientists who want to explore their professional experiences through a creative lens using the tools of storytelling. It is about scientists expressing themselves\, rather than communicating their research. \nThe Science Story Workshops for each cohort will take place over two 1.5-2 hour sessions over the course of a single semester. The first Workshop will include presentations on character\, plot\, and tone\, as well as team building and writing activities. \nThe cohort will be limited in number of participants to create a “mini community” of writer-scientists working in a safe\, inclusive\, and collegial space to explore their stories. The workshop has been designed with antiracism and decolonization ethics in mind\, implementing  many of Mathew Salesses’ workshopping principles from his book Craft in the Real World: Rethinking Fiction Writing and Workshopping. Before and after the workshop\, participants will take a survey that will provide feedback on the impact of the program\, its benefits\, and areas for improvement. Participants will then be given the chance to continue their creative writing journeys\, partnering with another participant for feedback on their work\, in addition to further contact with the workshop leaders. One month after the first workshop\, a second one will be held for the same group on the art of editing and revision. Depending on the aspirations of the cohort\, an anthology\, zine\, or other product may be created collectively. \nAbout Julia Nepper:\nJulia was born and raised in North Carolina. She came to UW-Madison in 2012 to pursue a PhD in Biophysics with Prof. Douglas Weibel in the Department of Biochemistry. After graduating in 2017\, Julia worked at a biotechnology company\, Promega\, as science writer. In 2020\, she returned to UW to work with Prof. Jo Handelsman as a postdoctoral researcher. She is currently investigating the behavior and physiology of plant root bacteria\, as well as working with Dr. Chris Thomas and a team of undergraduates to find new ways to discover novel antibiotics.
