Our guests tell us about the project, and what they hope to achieve. Then we talk to a reporter about an Assembly Committee hearing on a new bill that would ban research using fetal tissue in Wisconsin. We also talk to a higher education reporter about the news that Republican lawmakers are meeting Wednesday to discuss potentially merging the Wisconsin Technical Colleges and the UW System.
