LAB3 work synergizes physics, scientists, arts
(09/20/18 1:00pm)
A scientific paper detailing detection methods of dark matter and words like electrons, neutrinos and muons thrown about—these are things expected in a physics lecture or in the office of a physics professor at UW-Madison, but perhaps not at all expected in a local Madison art gallery. However, thanks to a collaboration between the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC), the Arts+Literature Laboratory (ALL) and local artists, writers and high school students, UW-Madison IceCube physics research has been transformed with art, poetry, film and music to create the LAB3 project—a multidisciplinary effort that produced a gallery of artwork transporting visitors to galaxies far, far away and to emotions close and near to the human heart.

Sleep allows neural connection shrinking: crucial for learning
(04/05/18 1:00pm)
For as long as life has existed, everything alive has slept. Surely, the purpose of something as essential as sleep is fully understood in the scientific community. However, the “why” of sleep is what keeps scientists like Chiara Cirelli up at night. Cirelli, a UW-Madison professor of psychiatry, became passionate about discovering the purpose of sleep since she first learned about it while obtaining her dual doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Pisa.
