A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that by increasing sleep duration to 8.5 hours per night people reduced the number of calories consumed in a day and the long-term potential to gain weight.
The study also involved researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and explored this question via a randomized clinical trial involving 80 adults. These subjects were overweight and had habitually short sleep duration, of less than 6.5 hours a night, a recognized risk factor for obesity. The idea was to investigate whether extending their sleep duration could mitigate this risk, with the subjects taking part in a four-week study, the first two weeks of which were used to gather baseline information on sleep and caloric intake.

But MD Michael Beninati, an OBGYN at UW Health, says there is no evidence to suggest the vaccine impacts a woman’s ability to conceive.
After returning from a sabbatical year in Australia in 1992, she was offered a job with the Center for Biology Education and with it she found her new passion: working with UW faculty to improve teaching and campus diversity. For the next 14 years she was instrumental in multiple campus-wide initiatives to engage faculty in undergraduate education, including Creating a Collaborative Learning Environment (CCLE), Instructional Materials Development (IMD), First Year Interest Groups (FIGs), Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) and the National Academies Summer Institutes, to name just a few.
Jerome Chazen, a UW-Madison graduate who went on to co-found Liz Claiborne Inc., and donated $25 million to fund the expansion of the campus art museum named after him and his wife, died Sunday at age 94. “Jerry was deeply devoted to the arts and to education,” UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank said in a press release, adding that Chazen was someone who found great joy in introducing new audiences to the art world.
