Dr. Megan Moreno, a professor of pediatrics with UW Health Kids, said the study had a surprising impact.
“I think there was a lot of skepticism around whether a five-minute conversation with a pediatrician would have much effect,” she said. “The answer was, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ A pediatrician isn’t going to be able to go into great detail, but if our intervention got kids to talk to their parents, that is great.”
Most people who have had cancer drink, including some at high levels during treatment, says a study involving a UW Health cancer doctor, even though alcohol increases the risk of some types of cancer and can make treatment for any cancer riskier and less effective.
Americans on private insurance as well. But the greatest beneficiaries may be the poorest seniors: Studying Medicare claims data, researchers at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and Public Health and the University of Southern California’s Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics projected that patients had filled 50,000 more insulin prescriptions for $35 each month between January and April — and about 20,000 of them might never have been filled without the law. Rebecca Myerson, a professor who helped write the study, said the data suggest the IRA is providing some financial relief to patients who would have “otherwise gone without” insulin.
Jordan Turner said Thursday he made out-of-character mistakes this offseason.
While this year’s team is off to a strong start, their future home is uncertain. A recent article indicates that the McClimon Complex may not be available for women’s and men’s soccer, as well as the track and field teams. The article also stated that, at least for soccer amenities, McClimon lags behind peer institutions.
The first member of the Menominee to graduate from the University of Wisconsin, the first woman to serve as tribal chair, the first Native American woman to run for statewide office in Wisconsin and the second Native American woman to bid for Congress, she would eventually become the first woman to head the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs — where she ushered in a new era of respect for tribal sovereignty.
Then there are the culture wars against public universities, especially UW-Madison. Even as the state’s financial contribution has dwindled, Republicans this summer pick picked a fight over meager budgets for diversity, equity and inclusion programs and blocked construction of a UW-Madison engineering building. Inventing and then enflaming such issues is most of what Republicans offer their base.
Volker Radeloff, professor of Forest and Wildlife Ecology at UW-Madison, says while the fires are far from home, Wisconsin isn’t immune to these dry, hot conditions.
“This is an extreme year,” Radeloff said. “I’m not saying this is what every year will be like, but I think there will be more years like [this].”
She earned a degree in French at the University of Wisconsin, studying at the Sorbonne in Paris for a year. (“One of the first things I did was find the street where Belmondo died at the end of Breathless.”) She took a film class, watching everything from Jacques Tati to French New Wave to German expressionism. “The world opened up.”
