In the Amazon, far more land is legally protected, and rules dictating how much farmers can clear their own land are much stricter. “Our published research shows that there is very little land that’s suitable for soy and that can be legally cleared in the Brazilian Amazon,” said Lisa Rausch, who studies Brazilian deforestation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“If there were no fungi in the soil, I don’t think there would be life on Earth.

University of Wisconsin-Madison public affairs professor Mariel Barnes, whose research focuses on backlash to gender equality and the manosphere, says the manosphere started to coalesce online around 2008 and grew with the rise of blogging websites.

The confession hung in the air between us, startling in its honesty. My sister—a college senior at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and one of the most hard-working people I know—wasn’t joking. We were sitting at the kitchen table late one night, sipping tea, when she said it. She stared into her mug. “AI is replacing my critical thinking skills,” she admitted quietly. “I know it’s not ideal, but it’s so tempting.”

This is less privacy than the legal system typically affords young people, confirmed Cary Bloodworth, who directs a family law clinic at the University of Wisconsin Law School. Bloodworth said both child welfare and juvenile courts tend to keep records confidential for a number of reasons, including that what happens in a person’s youth will follow them for a lifetime.
