In a study that illustrates the growing potential of computers and genetic testing to reveal new disease risks, UW researchers teamed up with the Marshfield Clinic to probe electronic medical records and DNA samples anonymously from 20,000 patients.
Noted: Staying safe is much more important than getting caught doing drugs or drinking, so rather than fearing potential consequences of drinking underage or doing drugs, focus on calling for help if it means helping someone else or saving a life. Some police departments and colleges, like the University of Wisconsin-Madison, even have a system where if someone is underage drinking, but call to report a crime, they will be safe from any consequences because they were responsible by reporting.
Many Madison residents have directed disdain toward “Nails’ Tales” over the past 14 years and the criticism revived during the removal process. But art experts say “Nails’ Tales” sparked conversation in the community, and for that it’s been a success … UW-Madison professor Gail Simpson, who specializes in public art and sculpture, said she finds “Nails’ Tales” to be a “funny and smart” commentary on football culture.
The Nail’s Tails sculpture in front of Camp Randall Stadium was taken down Wednesday and trucked to an unknown storage location.
The area outside of Camp Randall Stadium will look a little different when fans show up for the Badgers’ first home game.
The Daily Cardinal Life and Style writers came together with the essential checklist to ensure an idyllic 2019-’20 school year in Madison.
A Stark County resident is tracing his German-Hungarian family’s roots through a project called Preservation on the Prairie. The project, which was sponsored by the Stark County Historical Society via grant from Humanities North Dakota, is headed by Anna Andrzejewski, a professor from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She, along with graduate students Travis Olson, Laura Grotjan and Carly Griffith, are working to preserve the history of Stark County’s German-Russian and German-Hungarian families.
“We get out a tape measure and we create floor plans of the buildings as well as sometimes drawings of the exterior of the buildings,” said Andrzejewski. “We’re using the buildings kind of to learn about the people, but we can’t do it just with measured drawings like this. We have to learn from maps, other kinds of records, atlases — talking to people is the best resource that we’ve found. You guys know when your properties were homesteaded. You have information that has been passed down to you about the history of these buildings, and that helps us fill the gaps.”
Two days after being reinstated as a student at the University of Wisconsin, Quintez Cephus was back on the football practice field with his teammates.
University of Wisconsin junior running back Jonathan Taylor and junior center Tyler Biadasz were both named first-team preseason All-American by the Associated Presson Tuesday.
Wisconsin football coach Paul Chryst said on Wednesday that there’s still eligibility issues remaining and no timeline is set for when Cephus will be able to play in a game. When asked by a reporter as to whether school credits was part of the issue, he answered, “Yeah it’s that. I think it’s along those lines.”
This comes after Cephus was reinstated back into the UW-Madison and rejoined the Badgers.
University of Wisconsin head football coach, Paul Chryst, said Quintez Cephus went through his first practice Wednesday since being reinstated to the University.
Wisconsin receiver Quintez Cephus returned to practice Wednesday, though he is not eligible to play in games yet at least in part because he lacks credits after he was expelled this spring amid sexual assault allegations.
Noted: Research that one of us, Bill, did with Willie Choi of the University of Wisconsin and Gary Hecht of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, suggests that simply talking about strategy with people is not sufficient. In other words you can’t just invite them to boardroom briefings and hang signs around the building promoting the strategy—you need to involve people in its development.
Wes Schroll didn’t care where he bought groceries. As a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Schroll shopped where it was convenient depending on if he was walking, taking the bus or driving to the store.
He signed up for loyalty rewards programs at various stores. But looking in his pantry, he bought the same brands each week. Schroll wanted to be rewarded for that loyalty. The frustration led him to develop Fetch Rewards, an app that has shoppers scan in receipts to get points for the brand-name products purchased.
Noted: A 2002 federal law requires election officials to offer provisional ballots as a safeguard for people who show up at the polls but find they aren’t on the rolls or can’t verify their eligibility. Election officials review the ballots after the polls close and count them if it turns out the voter is eligible and throws them out if they’re not. It’s a requirement born from the chaos in Florida during the 2000 presidential election, when voters turned up at the polls and suddenly found they weren’t on the rolls, said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of its Elections Research Center.
Noted: Nandini Pandey, an associate professor of classics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison and an expert on Augustus, notes that the Dio remark documenting that Augustus harangued the populace to “replenish the fatherland” is taken quite out of context.
Quoted: “It’s basically taking away the unknown and helping that child feel prepared, which makes them feel empowered and then their brain feels like ’I’ve got a plan, I’m ready,” Dr. Marcia Slattery, UW Health Director of Anxiety and Disorders, said.
Noted: “Americans may love on some level the notion of having some of the greatest universities in the world, but basically we like practical things, as opposed to the life of the mind, which is seen as slightly European, elitist, [and] not quite connected to the larger culture,” says William Reese, a professor of educational-policy studies and history at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Noted: One advocate for automated enforcement is David Noyce, chair of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department and director of the Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory at UW-Madison, a research group partnered with the DOT dedicated to improving traffic safety.

Noted: A statue of Abraham Lincoln at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has been targeted repeatedly for removal because, as one protester from an indigenous student group explained: “Let’s be real. He owned slaves . . .and ordered the execution of Native men.”
Noted: JSR’s decision to get into that market was bold but Mr Koshiba seemed like the right person for the job. He’d spent two years studying materials science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on a Rotary Club scholarship, was one of the few English speakers at the company and was eager to work abroad. In 1990, JSR sent him to Belgium to set up a photo-resist joint venture with the country’s biopharmaceutical giant UCB. The goal was to target the American market.
