2019 Badger Chemist, print edition

Group of people behind a table
Graduate students Diana Wang, Alyah Chmiel, and Dylan Holst, Professor Zach Wickens and artist Mario Fregoso work with children at the Wisconsin Science Festival, helping them understand how the elements of the periodic table exist in everyday life. Mario will work with other Department of Chemistry representatives (not pictured) Desiree Bates and Professor John Berry to use the children’s art as part of a Periodic Table mural in the Science to Street Art project.
