08 Mar Research in the Rotunda: From plastics recycling to imposter phenomenon
Several UW–Madison students shared their research in the Wisconsin State Capitol on March 8, in the annual “Research in the Rotunda” event. The outreach event provides students and faculty advisors from across the UW System with the opportunity to share their research findings with Wisconsin legislators, state leaders, UW alumni and members of the public.
