The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) is developing a new seminar support initiative to encourage cross-disciplinary research, exchange of ideas, and to develop new opportunities. As a test of the feasibility and interest we have reached out to multiple UW-Madison programs to schedule co-sponsored seminars as well as lab tours and meetings with WSLH staff. We have had great success with the outreach and have been able to schedule three great speakers this semester. All talks are free and open to the public.
