“Cheesemaking is a process of concentrating the solids originally present in milk,” Ben Ullerup Mathers, a research cheesemaker at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Dairy Research, tells SELF. “Since protein is one of the main constituents of milk solids, the further you concentrate those solids, the more protein is in the final cheese. Since hard cheeses are the lowest-moisture cheeses, they will also be the higher-protein cheeses.”
This discovery began incidentally in 2014, when David Lovelace, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, picked up a soccer ball-sized rock on the way back to his car after a day of picking through the Popo Agie formation near Dubois, Wyoming.
If “they receive what they have asked for, they’re still going to be quite happy because they’re getting something that they want,” said Evan Polman, an associate professor of marketing at the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
In the parts of the city inhabited by Africans during the period of segregation, levels of fine particulates known as PM2.5 are high enough to reduce life expectancy more than tobacco use or HIV infection, said the study’s lead author, air quality scientist Dorothy Lsoto of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

UW System President Jay Rothman defended his agency’s $855 million budget request by saying it “gets (Wisconsin) up to average” and steps up from its low ranking. Rothman is correct that Wisconsin ranks 43rd in the country when it comes to funding public, four-year universities.
Rothman’s math also adds up. Subtracting Wisconsin’s revenue per student from the national average, then multiplying it by the total number of students in the system, does total $457 million.
We rate Rothman’s claim True.

If the case goes to trial, finding non-biased jurors may delay the case, UW-Madison Political Science Professor Howard Schweber said.
“It’s really hard to say how it will play out, but the confident prediction can be that it’s going to be a circus,” Schweber said. “These state prosecutions may be the best opportunity that we ever have to develop a record of what happened.”
