Summary
UW-Superior just launched a floating classroom—a repurposed 1970s research vessel named Sadie Ann, honoring a pioneering alumna and her family’s legacy. This nine-ton lab can carry 20 people, features wet/dry labs, water-access platforms, and even sleeping quarters for extended trips. Donated by scientists, meteorologists, and a generous family contribution, it’s designed to immerse students in real-world aquatic science—getting them to feel, smell, and truly understand the environment they study. Now serving UW-Superior and beyond, it’s a bold leap in hands-on education and research innovation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
