“Ultimately, in 40% of cases surgeons find out that it was a benign lesion and should not have been taken out,” said Pallavi Tiwari, the co-director of Imaging and Radiation Science at UW Carbone Cancer Center.
Charles Lee Isbell Jr., dean of the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has been named provost for the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
For the second consecutive year, in celebration of that milestone date, the Badgers are hosting a statewide “Wisconsin Football 100 Days to Kickoff Scavenger Hunt.” Partnering with communities across the state, UW staff will place 100 mini Badger football helmets in each of four regions across the state.

Noted: Do pollinators actually benefit from an unmowed lawn?
Sometimes. It depends on the lawn, say experts from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Lawns with turfgrass don’t provide as many resources for pollinators compared with a yard containing an abundance of low growing flowering plants. Adding more flowering plants, shrubs and trees to your yard can increase benefits to pollinators.
Climate change is “hard science,” said Young Mie Kim, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who serves as vice chair of a committee focused on research methodology. “So, relatively speaking, it’s easier to develop some common concepts and tool kits,” Ms. Kim said. “It’s hard to do that in social science or humanities.”
Barry Burden, a professor of political science and director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said while both have “general skepticism about whether public universities are serving the state well,” Walker framed his attacks on higher education around the need to improve economic efficiency at state institutions. Walker was also less focused on “meddling in the day-to-day affairs of the university in the way that DeSantis is,” in terms of imposing sweeping change on public colleges.
