In our special 150th anniversary issue: A brief history of the Wisconsin Academy, from our founding in 1870 to today and four perspectives on the role the Academy's Wisconsin Strategy Initiatives have played in helping our people, lands, and waters over the past twenty years. We meet our new 2020 Fellows Award winners and learn about the early scientists and naturalists who founded the Academy through the Collections & Connecctions exhibition at our James Watrous Gallery. And poems galore by Wiscoinsin Poets Laureate past and present. Did we mention this issue is a flip issue? (You can't tell in the online version!) But the other side of the magazine features mini-profiles of fascinating and innovative writers, artist, chefs, researchers, and community leaders. Oh, and did we also mention a world premier story by author Nickolas Butler?
