SUMMARY:SoundWaves: Developing Ideas\, Part 4
DESCRIPTION:Explore how trends\, plans\, viewpoints\, projects\, materials\, and sounds develop. Where we are and where we might be headed in the future.\n\n\nThis year\, SoundWaves is exploring how ideas\, trends\, plans\, viewpoints\, projects\, materials\, and sounds develop. Join us for a new four-part series as we dive into how we got to where we are now and where we might be headed in the future. \nSoundWaves combines scientific lectures about the world with live classical music performances. Each event revolves around a theme\, exploring it first from many scientific angles and then through the lens of music. The program concludes with a live performance of music related to the evening’s theme. \nThis event will take place in the HAMEL MUSIC CENTER\, Mead Witter Foundation Concert Hall (740 University Ave). This is a free event\, however registration is requested to ensure adequate seating. \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 https://mailto: idhub@wid.wisc.edu no later than 2 weeks prior to the event. This event is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: Toxins at the Tap
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the Future of PFAS and Our Water Supply\n\n\nJoin us on Earth Day 2025 for a thought-provoking fireside chat featuring experts Hilary Dugan\, Manny Teodoro\, and Christy Remucal. Delve into the world of PFAS—per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—often referred to as “forever chemicals.” Our distinguished panel will explore the complex challenges these contaminants pose to our environment and public health\, their impact on water systems\, and the urgent policy changes needed to safeguard our future. This conversation will shed light on the critical decisions and innovations required to address one of today’s most pressing environmental issues. \nDr. Remucal’s Aquatic Chemistry research group works in two major areas. First\, they investigate the transformation of polar organic contaminants in both natural and engineering aquatic systems. Contaminants of interests include aquatic pesticides\, pharmaceuticals\, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). They are interested in photochemical reaction mechanisms\, oxidative transformation at mineral surfaces\, and fate in conventional and advanced drinking water treatment systems. Second\, they study the molecular composition and reactivity of dissolved organic matter (DOM). They couple optical properties and analysis by high resolution mass spectrometry to assess the reactivity of DOM in lakes and engineered treatment systems. By studying fundamental reaction mechanisms\, the Aquatic Chemistry group aims to develop models and real-world applications that can be used to improve water quality. \n\n\n \nManuel (Manny) Teodoro is a Professor of Public Affairs.\nTeodoro works at the intersection of politics\, public policy\, and public management. His research focuses on U.S. environmental policy and implementation\, including empirical analyses of environmental justice. His latest book\, “The Profits of Distrust” (2022\, Cambridge)\, argues that basic services are the bedrock of government legitimacy\, and links the meteoric rise of the bottled water industry to declining trust in American democracy.\nIn addition\, Teodoro pursues a line of applied research on utility management\, policy\, and finance. He has developed novel methods for analyzing utility rate equity and affordability\, and he works directly with governments and water sector leaders across the United States to address policy problems. \nDr. Hilary Dugan’s research broadly focuses on how terrestrial and atmospheric changes alter biogeochemical fluxes and aquatic processes in inland waters. Her MCM research interests focus on lakes (physics\, biogeochemistry\, long term changes) and climate change. \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. \n\n\nAll Crossroads of Ideas sessions are recorded and shared post-event.

SUMMARY:Sci-prov
DESCRIPTION:Science Meets Improv Comedy\n\n\nJoin the Illuminating Discovery Hub and Amalgam Improv for an evening fusing science and spontaneous improv comedy like no other at Sci-Prov! \nSci-prov combines science and improv in creative\, funny\, and never before seen ways. Scientists present their work in short\, digestible presentations followed by brief Q&A\, all of which can become fodder for the improv scenes. The improv scenes are created on the fly & unique to each show. \nLight refreshments and cash bar available. Tickets are free and registration is requested to ensure adequate seating. \n\n\nParking: The closest parking ramps to the Discovery building are Lot 80 (Union South)\, lot 20 (Medical Science Center)\, and Lot 17 (Engineering/Camp Randall). Additional surface lots are also available. Please see the campus parking and transportation map for complete options. \n \nBus: The closest bus stop westbound is University & North Orchard (A\, C\, D\, F\, J\, O\, R)\, and eastbound is Campus at Babcock (A\, C\, F J\, R). Free campus route 80 also stops at University & North Orchard \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.
