Have you stopped by Comfort Fuel, the new fast-casual restaurant just off State Street near the Capitol? If you have, chances are good you've seen the owner, economics alumnus Doug Hamaker ('10) hanging out behind the counter. “Comfort Fuel is trying to blend the mix of health and comfort,” Hamaker says. “Eating healthy is awesome, but every once in a while, you want some bread or cheese. So, we’re morphing those options for people.” #economics #restaurants #WeAreLS

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are underway, and communication arts alumna Maya Hysaw ('22), a production assistant with NBC Sports, is racing to keep up with coverage of the events. Hysaw works behind the scenes to compile five-minute broadcast packages featuring athletes and event results for the network. “We’re basically the front lines for everything that gets used — whether it’s audio, video, contacting other media groups for specific teams or fans that we’ll be interviewing — all of that is what we manage,” Hysaw says. #Olympics #broadcast #WeAreLS

The birthplace of limnology is celebrating its centennial! Earlier this summer, past and present researchers with the Center for Limnology gathered at Trout Lake Station near Boulder Junction to reflect on ten decades of research on Wisconsin's lakes. "As we try to manage our lakes in this rapidly changing world, we need cutting-edge research that's going to inform how we manage lakes, and Trout Lake Station is where that research happens," says Jake Vander Zanden, Director of the Center for Limnology. #limnology #troutlake #WeAreLS

Congratulations to Professor of Computer Science Steve Wright, winner of the George B. Dantzig Prize, regarded as the most prestigious award in the field of Optimization. “Because it is deeply embedded in so many technologies, optimization touches members of the public in many ways,” says Wright. “Algorithms, software, and applications that I have worked on have influenced many technologies in daily use, for example in recommendation systems for online commerce, investment portfolio optimization, and process control in chemical production.”

They may look cute from a distance, but feral hogs are environmental wrecking balls in states like Hawaii. According to recent research by Professor of Botany Sara Hotchkiss, not only do they ruin crops, but they also facilitate the spread of invasive plant species that disrupt ecosystems. #botany #WeAreLS

Every year, L&S students in Biocore, the Department of Biology's Honors program, work to restore prairie land in the UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve. Preserve staff handle the prescribed burns, and students spread native seeds. The cycle is beautifully captured in this fun photo gallery. #prairie #restoration #WeAreLS

WHAM! As in, the Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror, a fusion energy device that just generated plasma for the first time. Professor of physics Cary Forest led the team that constructed and tested the device, which opens the door for creating what could be a carbon-free energy source. “We think fusion will be as good at producing electricity as any energy source would be, and we think it might be even better to use it as a source of industrial heat for making things,” says Forest. “The world makes more carbon and uses more energy making things than it does moving things or turning the lights on. If we’re going to solve the climate change problem, we should probably be focused even more on how we make things than how we move things.” #physics #fusion #WeAreLS
