If you’ve been following the
story of the Mars rover
Curiosity, you might be
interested to know it carries
an instrument pioneered by
Roger Wiens ’82. Or perhaps
you’ve been reading about
how global warming might
affect the ice sheets in
Antarctica—it’s a subject
Doug Wiens ’80 has been
braving frigid temperatures
to research. Or maybe, just
like Chris ’05 and Andrew
Ewert ’09, you have an interest
in electric-powered engines.
Find out how brotherhood
and Wheaton fostered the
inquisitiveness and ingenuity
of these two sets of alumni
brothers.
