Upstairs in the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, scientists toil away in their labs researching everything from stem cells to viruses. Downstairs, you?ll find a very different kind of laboratory. In cubicles and makeshift computer labs, a number of people sit behind their screens ? playing games. They?re not nerds, they?re researchers. OK, they are a bit nerdy and seem as glued to their screens as any game-crazed teenager. But there is science being done here, too.
