University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists Ethan Parrish and Dave Lovelace are working to make their field of study more inclusive. The pair are featured in an all-new episode of Wisconsin Life and are captured in the high desert of Wyoming and at the UW-Madison campus discussing their collaboration to decolonize their scientific disciplines in order to promote a more inclusive future for the next generation. The episode premieres Thursday night at 7 on PBS Wisconsin, and will also be available
