Studies show that dogs and some other animals do appear to respond emotionally to human music, although the type of music they react to can differ significantly depending on the species or breed, Charles Snowdon, an animal psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Live Science in a 2012 article.
Yet despite a universal desire to avoid more destruction, experts aren’t always in agreement about what should be done before a blaze ignites. Forest management has long been touted as essential to fighting wildfires, with one new set of studies led by the University of Wisconsin and the U.S. Forest Service concluding that there is strong scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of thinning dense forests and reducing fuels through prescribed burns.

University of Wisconsin officials remain determined to see full attendance at campus athletic venues during the 2021-2022 academic year.
“I am so excited for our fans to get back here in Camp Randall on Sept. 4 and get back to business,” athletic director Chris McIntosh told a crowd of several thousand fans who attended football practice Saturday morning.

Juliana Bennett is a rising senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the city’s District 8 alder. Unlike most college students, her social media posts are public record — a new territory Bennett navigates with candor and care. “When I post something, I always think, Am I okay with this being in anyone’s hands? If that passes the ‘yes’ test, then I post it, because once it’s out there you can’t take it away,” Bennett tells Teen Vogue. “It just makes it a bit more weird. But I try to just remain true to myself.”
Fire safety tests performed over the summer found the elevator shafts in the newly constructed nine-story addition along University Avenue did not pass pressurization tests, the university said in a statement. A construction update posted July 12 said elevator shaft pressurization reduces the spread of smoke during a fire, making improper pressure a “life-safety issue.”
Quoted: “That’s a great thing in just the first month, I’m guessing that those numbers are going to improve,” said Timothy Smeeding, a University of Wisconsin-Madison economist and child tax credit expert. “The word’s getting out, so I expect it’ll even be better soon for people who really need it.”
The Urban Institute estimates 78 percent of eligible families will be receiving their tax credits by February, though Smeeding said he expects it will take even longer. He’s been working with several groups in Wisconsin to help connect harder-to-reach groups to the payments, especially immigrant families.
“All U.S.-born children who have Social Security numbers are eligible for the child tax payment, but (the families) are gun-shy because they fear public charge rules, they fear all sorts of things that took place under the last administration, and they need trusted people who they can work with,” he said.
A literature review by UW Health experts has identified chronic pain as a long-lasting symptom of COVID-19.
A new UW Health literature review acknowledges that pain — especially headache and chest pain — has long been associated with COVID-19 infections throughout the pandemic. However, medical director Dr. Alaa Abd-Elsayed says that long-lasting chronic pain indicates the virus may impact the human body in ways experts are just starting to understand.
Quoted: The U.S. health system excels at the specialized, high-tech care provided by the most advanced neonatal intensive care units in Wisconsin.
“You probably won’t find newborn intensive care that’s any better in the world,” said Philip M. Farrell, a specialist in neonatology and former dean of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
“It’s honestly such a great environment,” Badgers fan Bella Daul said. “It’s so much fun to just come in here and watch all the games. It’s so nice to be in a local area not too far away. It’s just so nice to be back again.”
The gates to Camp Randall opened up to fans Saturday morning for the first time in 17 months. With the Badgers are Back (to Back) event, fans got a first look at practice.
“It’s great to just get out there and play in front of fans again,” Sheffield said. “We had nine people who haven’t played in front of fans here.”
“We’re the first to demonstrate, as far as I’m aware, that infectious virus can be cultured from the fully vaccinated infections,” says Kasen Riemersma, a virologist at University of Wisconsin who is one of the authors of the study.
We are conducting research on peptides derived from both common and unique food proteins, such as soybeans, dairy, fish, meat, and insects. Thanks to research by Srinivasan Damodaran of the University of Wisconsin, we already know that small peptides from fish gelatin and cattle collagen proteins are effective in preventing ice recrystallization in ice cream. This power of peptides varies greatly depending on the source protein, however, so we are investigating the reasons for these differences
“It is a far cry from an in-vitro lab replication to helping humans,” Dr Nasia Safdar, medical director of infection prevention at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Hospital, told the Associated Press.
State law gives the Public Service Commission regulatory authority over electricity plants larger than 100 megawatts, leaving communities with very little say in what gets built and where, said Brian Ohm, a professor of planning and landscape architecture at UW-Madison. “Cities and villages do have limited extraterritorial authority, but in this case that’s not going to come into play,” Ohm said. “The village’s future plans can be a consideration, something that could be a consideration by the PSC, but again there’s nothing that’s going to lock the PSC into the village’s plans for growth.”
There is a “social component” of back-to-school shopping, said Hart Posen, a professor of management and a retail expert at UW-Madison. Children are excited to pick out personalized items that will make them look cool in front of their friends, Posen said.

UW-Madison students studying near the US Capitol said they crossed paths with a man who claimed to have a bomb Thursday. “I don’t know what’s normal for D.C.,” senior Sydney Bobb said. “I would imagine the capital of the country is like the center for a lot of crazy things to happen.”

In the decades since the book’s debut, Greene, a former screenwriter who studied Ancient Greek at the University of Wisconsin, has been called “hip-hop’s Machiavelli” by “The New Yorker” due to the proliferation of references made by notable musicians (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent), and “The 48 Laws of Power” has both been banned from prisons and greenlit to become a Quibi series executive produced by Drake.
