With the Fourth of July holiday coming up this week, distinguished psychologist at UW Health Dr. Shilagh Mirgain chats about ways people can come together to celebrate patriotism.

“We had great abundant soils where we could grow barley and wheat, hops, and we had plenty of water that was readily available,” said Robin Shepard, a Madison-area beer writer and assistant dean of UW-Madison’s Department of Extension. “Those were the things that really came together to make it the perfect storm for brewing.”

“Per the executive order, no one would be losing their citizenship,” Erin Barbato, the director of the Immigrant Justice Clinic at the University of Wisconsin Law School, explained.

Still, Barbato said the order had the potential to cause “chaos.”

Six weeks out from the Democratic primary, which will decide which of six remaining candidates will be on the ballot in November, voters are largely tuned out, said Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Torey Dolan, assistant professor of law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, joined WPR’s “Wisconsin Today” to talk about the history of the case and what the ruling could mean for tribal land buybacks around the state.

Last year, a solar project in Dane County opened with the idea of combining green energy and farming. Known as “agrivoltaics,” the co-location of solar energy and agriculture, the Kegonsa Research Campus is one of the largest in the country. We hear University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Ankur Desai, who is a leader in the project.

Steve Ackerman and Jonathan Martin, professors in the UW-Madison Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, say with only a few exceptions, it seems as if this year’s run-up to summer, which arrived at 3:24 a.m. Sunday, June 21, was relatively mild. By that, they mean very few really oppressively hot and humid days.
