It is with great pleasure that we announce that, thanks to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), garduate alumni Lynn Nyhart (Phd '86) is now the Robert E. Kohler Professor of History of Science at the U. of Wisconsin-Madison.

 

The tradition of these WARF named professorships is that those awarded them get to pick the name. Given that recipients are invited to consider UW connections in their choice, it was an added bonus that Rob's grandfather Walter B. Kohler, Sr., in addition to serving as governor of Wisconsin, was a Regent of the UW in 1918-1924.)
