“We are the state’s flagship university, and as such, the makeup of our freshman class reflects both our appeal to home-state students and our vow to attract and enroll as many of these high-achieving students as we can,” said Steve Hahn, vice provost for enrollment management.
Few things on earth strike fear into the hearts of men more profoundly than hair loss. But reversing baldness could someday be as easy as wearing a hat, thanks to a noninvasive, low-cost hair-growth-stimulating technology developed by engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
But an effective baldness treatment may not come in the form of a drug or topical cream. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a wearable technology that works to prevent hair loss.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that attaching a patch that delivers electric stimulation to rats and mice resulted in increased hair growth and density when compared with treating them with minoxidil lotion (the hair growth ingredient found in Rogaine).
It’s a phenomenon known as the triboelectric effect and can result in faster hair re-growth than being hooked up to a machine for several hours a day. The team, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, tested it out on the backs of shaved lab rats and found that when they moved it caused the flexible patch to bend and stretch.
To address this widespread problem, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison detailed in an issue of ACS Nano how they came up with a noninvasive approach.
Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Monica Turner, explained, “With the Camp Monaco Prize there are three main objectives that we have. One is to extend some of our work that uses state of the art computer simulation models to predict what might happen in the future under alternative scenarios: climate warming, precipitation patterns…things like that.”
“I think this will be a very practical solution to hair regeneration,” said one of the researchers Xudong Wang, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed an electric patch they say could reverse the effects of balding in men, especially when fitted into a custom-designed baseball cap. It’s only about a millimetre thick, allowing the patch to stick to the scalp, and then effectively shock some life back into it.
From Matthew T. Hora, assistant professor of adult and higher education: As a researcher engaged in a national study of internships and their relationship to student success, I’ve come to the conclusion that we need to proceed with caution when advocating for the widespread adoption of internships
A group of lawmakers is introducing a bill that would allow American Indians from anywhere in the United States to pay resident tuition at University of Wisconsin System schools.
UW-Oshkosh will end its partnership with Reach Counseling — the service that has provided the campus with sexual violence and assault support for more than 15 years.
Live Free, a student organization that supports students in recovery from substance abuse, held its second annual sober tailgate Saturday before the Badgers’ home game against the University of Michigan.
The committee heard a presentation from The Black Voice for eligibility for General Student Services Fund money. The organization aims to support black journalists, create a space for open discussion between writers and maintain an online publication.
“We will be providing $1 additional of each backpack sale to United Way of Dane County,” said Kelly Belknap, the co-founder of Adventurist Backpack Co. “We hope that this additional partnership with United Way of Dane County can help support even more students and families in the area, helping to put everyone on an even playing field.”
The victim and her friends got separated when her friends went to a bar, after which the victim accepted an offer from some suspects to give her a ride to that bar at 11:19 p.m., according to the Madison Police Department.
For the first time, the Union Theater hosted an open piano day Sunday and invited community members to play the same instrument that the highest-level pianists have played.
Dr. Katherine Gast became the first surgeon in recent memory at UW Hospital, and in the state, to offer the full range of transgender surgeries when she came to Madison in August 2017.
Badger fans are no stranger to game delays: just last month, a rain delay at the University of South Florida pushed kickoff time back about an hour. In the event of severe weather at Camp Randall Stadium, UW has a plan.
College internships are widely viewed across the postsecondary landscape as one of the high-impact practices that campuses should adopt, scale and sustain. The designation of internships as a HIP is based on analyses of the National Survey of Student Engagement data, which show that such practices are significant predictors of student learning and engagement. That has led to a national focus on high-impact practices, along with growing interest in students’ career and transitions to the workforce, with many institutions encouraging or even mandating students to have internships.
Quintez Cephus always said he was innocent of the charges and the members of a Dane County jury ultimately agreed. It is clear that the two women still feel victimized and want another day in court. I keep thinking that this not the experience that anyone wanted for these three young people.
The course is “Geoscience 100: Introductory Geology,” and on this particular day, music spills out through the closed doors as the students await playbills for a lecture called “Beginnings.”

UW-Madison Police Lt. John McCaughtry, who conducted the review, said officers didn’t do enough to engage in a dialogue with the 17-year-old and that left them with fewer options once the teen went into a confined area in his home and resisted police attempts to handcuff him.
