Anne Morgan Giroux and Colleen Penwell: Hard hats, soft hearts are in abundance at Institutes for Discovery

Dear Editor: The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery on the UW-Madison campus will soon be occupied by brilliant scientists and eager students. For the time being, it?s home to hundreds of men and women who are busy putting the finishing touches on a stunning research facility.

Their craftsmanship is evident at every turn. Less visible is their equally impressive generosity and compassion. These carpenters, pipefitters, welders, electricians and glaziers are also generous benefactors.
