Scientists had raised this specter much earlier. Over a decade ago, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Erasmus Medical Center independently showed that specific mutations could make the H5N1 virus transmissible among ferrets. In other words, this virus typically transmitted among birds can evolve to be transmitted among mammals

Gracie Nelson is UW’s senior class president. She said they wanted to do something special for the soon-to-be graduates, so they decided to throw them their very own prom.”You don’t even realize how much you’ve lost until you watch the freshmen and are like, ’Oh my gosh, I didn’t gonna get any of that’ and so I do think that while I’ve had the best four years and really wouldn’t change any of it, I think there’s a new excitement about graduation events and things like this,” Nelson said.
“I’m going to be voting for Joe Biden because Donald Trump has proven time and again that he’s not interested in continuing democracy,” said Dylan Goldman, a 19-year-old student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison who is from Florida. “While I think Joe Biden is too old to be president, I’ve been left with no other choice.”

“The early and consistent wins we are witnessing demonstrate that we can disrupt Black maternal and child health disparities by creating solutions with, rather than for, our community,” said Robin Lankton, vice president of Population Health at UW Health, a member of the health council.
Partial cloverleaf interchanges, with on and off ramps next to each other, are the highway intersection most susceptible to drivers mistakenly entering on exit ramps, experts say. At such interchanges, “it’s hard to know which is the correct ramp,” said Andrea Bill, a traffic safety research project manager at UW-Madison’s Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory. “Here in Wisconsin, especially in our urban areas, we have a fair amount of them.”
The shrapnel-packed bomb that destroyed an East Village townhouse in 1970, leaving three dead; the researcher killed in the bombing of the University of Wisconsin’s Math Research Center; the botched robbery of a Brink’s armored truck that left two police officers and a Brink’s guard dead—as well as the police shootouts that killed Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, Bobby Hutton, and other Black Panthers—these are the memories that I conjure up whenever I hear Archie and Edith Bunker sing “Those Were the Days, the theme song from “All in the Family.” Not phrases like “the way Glenn Miller played” or “fifty dollars paid the rent/freaks were in the circus tent.”
