Two UW-Madison researchers share some results of a study looking at how the 9/11 attacks have been taught in schools, and talk about what could be done to improve the lessons. Then we look at the increase and impact of new small businesses in Wisconsin during the pandemic. And an invasive plant expert helps us learn how to spot and eradicate yard invaders like garlic mustard and burdock.
