ARCS Foundation in Minnesota held a unique event featuring the intersection of science and arts to celebrate our Scientists of the Year for 2023. The event was held on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, from 5 to 8 pm at the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota.

This year we presented ARCS MN Scientist of the Year awards to two individuals who have made significant contributions to improving our climate here in Minnesota, the US, and globally: J. Drake Hamilton and Patrick Hamilton. The topic of their presentation was Seizing This Climate Moment.

The event was held on the University of Minnesota campus at the Weisman Art Museum. As an added feature, a museum curator gave a private tour of the museum including the special exhibit: The World Inside You. https://wam.umn.edu/calendar/theworldinsideyou/
