The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery introduces the newest Kohler Fellows, a prestigious program uniting science and art through interdisciplinary collaboration. Paired artist–scientist teams transform research into creative work that bridges disciplines, reveals new perspectives, and sparks transformative thinking.
Navigating between the arts and the sciences has been a lifelong journey for me. While I currently spend my days pursuing a PhD in cell and molecular biology, I have considered myself an artist long before I identified as a scientist.

I have always believed that the creative act of imagining is not just tied to artistic processes; imagination is also fundamental for the advancement of science. As a biology/music double major, I was often asked, “Why would you major in two completely unrelated …
The at-home physics kits feature lessons on light, such as how it functions as both a particle and a wave, and how light changes as it passes through a prism.
Three members of the Kohler Fellows met and prerecorded a spontaneous and animated discussion of the concept of “facts.” They were biochemist and geneticist Ana Lindahl, English literature student Julie Dauer, and neuroscience-and-public policy student Andrew Merluzzi. The recording took place live in the WORT studios on Wednesday, December 7th. Find the discussion at FACTS
