Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy
The mission of the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy is to promote literacy in science, mathematics and technology among the general public and to attract future generations to careers in research, teaching and public service. We have many engagement programs, including the WISL Award for Communicating PhD Research to the Public, and “Climate Science Concepts Fit Your Classroom”, a free online workbook for college faculty and high school teachers.
