Tech and biotech: UW students go to Calif. for Facebook contest

Four UW-Madison students got V.I.P. treatment from Facebook when they were flown out to the company?s Palo Alto, Calif. headquarters, put up in classy hotels, and showered with food for a couple of days in early December. “It was awesome to see (Facebook?s campus). Being in the middle of all that – it?s the nerd mecca,” said UW senior Ryan Schmukler, 21, of Madison.
