Philip Mulder, an associate professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Business, co-wrote the study. He joined WPR’s “Wisconsin Today” to talk about trends in home and condo insurance in Wisconsin — and possible solutions.
“Our collective expectations of fathers have shifted. We expect dads to be more involved with their kids,” says Allison Daminger, author of “What’s on Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life” and a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
“At the same time, the expectations on breadwinning and dads hasn’t changed. We’ve added to their job description. I think younger dads are starting to feel that strain.”
University of Wisconsin-Madison sophomore Ellen Zhang announced her candidacy for the open student seat on Madison’s Common Council Dec. 2, pushing for expanded public transportation, affordable public housing and additional food support for students.
“It’s important to be able to express ourselves through our clothing and kind of use it not only as a statement … that we’re still on campus, but also just have some pride in ourselves and our traditional attire,” said Miinan White, an enrolled member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe.
Born in 1947 on a dairy farm in New Holstein, Meyer’s asthma kept him from following the family path into farming. He earned a degree in economics at St. Norbert College in De Pere and a law degree in 1972 from UW-Madison.
Curry, then an artist in residence at UW-Madison’s School of Agriculture, took some liberties when he created “Madison Landscape,” a 7-foot-wide, 8-foot-high tempera and oil canvas mural that for more than three decades was a fixture behind the tellers at First National Bank on Capitol Square.
Several, like Curry, have strong connections to Wisconsin. They include:
“It’s intriguing because it’s from one place, and it’s spreading in another place,” Anne Pringle, a mycologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told NPR in September, pointing to Northern California as a death cap “hot spot.”
To try to determine the probability of those name repetitions being a coincidence, Cary checked two databases of Chinese names and consulted with Yi Fuxian, a professor of Chinese demography at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The name Qiu Daibing—or 邱代兵 in Chinese characters—turned out to be a relatively unlikely name to show up twice just by chance, he says. The surname 邱 alone, Yi confirmed to WIRED, represents just 0.27 percent of Chinese names, and in combination with the specific 代兵 given name would represent a far smaller percentage.
