North and others who spoke with Local Five at the fundraiser say it was great to see people there at the event to raise money for what they said is “the best research in the nation.”
We know that the impact has to go beyond Madison and we want to see that folks around the state want to put Wisconsin at the top of the map of where we are nationally.

It’s almost like investing in a start-up company, you give them your seed money, let them do their thing, and before you know it, they’re getting grants for millions of dollars from other places so it all works together very well.
