I’m so pleased to share this new tadada video production. It’s a collaborative project with 485 students in Geoscience 100 at UW-Madison, and it also tells the story of tadada Scientific Lab: what it is, how it came to be, and why.

Andrew Jones (Candy Andy) and I put together a little collab as an example to our intro geo students that (geo)science and art have a place together. Check Andy's music out: candyandy.bandcamp.com. In association with @tadadaScience at @uwgeoscience youtu.be/DCQGhqmYsPo

those dreams! We’d be grateful for a hello, or a mention of your favorite rock, geological place, or geoscience topic. I’d share your contribution in the last video lecture next Thurs. It will be something they’ll remember forever! Learn more about us at tadada.net.
