To get on top of — and feel less toppled by — mood changes, it’s helpful for caregivers to remember that those shifts are caused by changes in the brain, said Dr. Nathaniel Chin, a geriatrician and associate professor in the department of medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“They’re no one’s fault,” he said, and recognizing this can help you “feel less upset at your loved one.”
Even if local officials in Wisconsin wanted to let non-citizens vote on local races or proposals, it’s not clear whether current state law would allow that change, according to analysis from the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
“Courts in other states have reached divergent conclusions about whether provisions akin to Wisconsin’s current constitutional text allow municipalities to authorize local noncitizen voting,” the analysis noted.
A review from the nonpartisan State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School concluded that the Wisconsin ballot measure “will not have any immediate practical impact on voter eligibility,” since existing law already prohibits noncitizen voting in federal and state elections.
For a good number of people antidepressants have been a blessing, at least at the beginning of treatment, said Dr. Charles Raison, a professor of psychiatry and human ecology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison.

Anna Jesch, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said she thinks Obama’s appearance was drawing lots of college students. As a Minnesota native, she was excited to see vice presidential candidate Tim Walz — governor of Minnesota — too.
Jesch, who studies endocrinology and reproductive physiology, will cast her first vote in a presidential election in November. She said she didn’t know what the future of reproductive science would be under the Trump administration.
“I feel like my career, my future, my science kind of depends on this election,” she said.
‘It’s for Badgers and Badgers at heart,’ Homecoming committee member says.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose school of education was recently ranked one of the best in the nation, future educators learn the importance of a positive learning environment.
“We definitely focus on relationship building and rapport and creating a positive learning environment,” said Kimber Wilkerson, director of teacher education at the university. “That often makes a difference for kids, whether going to school is another stressor or a place where they don’t feel connected, versus knowing that they have someone.”
Athletic director Chris McIntosh said there will be 80 to 100 fewer Badgers athletes as part of roster limits that are due to replace scholarship caps. The number of scholarships awarded also will decrease, he said in an exclusive interview with BadgerExtra.
