Anna Jesch, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said she thinks Obama’s appearance was drawing lots of college students. As a Minnesota native, she was excited to see vice presidential candidate Tim Walz — governor of Minnesota — too.
Jesch, who studies endocrinology and reproductive physiology, will cast her first vote in a presidential election in November. She said she didn’t know what the future of reproductive science would be under the Trump administration.
“I feel like my career, my future, my science kind of depends on this election,” she said.
