UW-Madison political science professor Andrew Kydd said for some Republicans embracing Putin has become “a big problem right now, politically speaking.” “That invasion is so brutal.

But what makes the mutation “weird and unique” is that it appears to set the stage for other variants, says Kyle Wolf, a biophysicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. SARS-CoV-2 infects cells faster when it has more RBDs flipped up—but that also makes its spikes more likely to fall apart before they find their target. A virus with DOUG appears to be more stable: When its RBDs up, they wedge together, holding the spike proteins together until it finds a host, Wolf explains. The mutation could be required for other variants, which opened the spike even further, but needed a way to stabilize the package, says Sophie Gobeil, a structural biologist at Duke University.

RICH KREMER, BYLINE: Public, technical and community colleges have borne the brunt of pandemic enrollment declines. Since fall of 2019, they’ve lost more than 700,000 students. The drop was around 16% among men and 10% among women. In Wisconsin, enrollment at state technical colleges dropped by 34% over the past decade. It’s dropped more than 60% at two-year University of Wisconsin System campuses. That comes as Wisconsin employers say they’re increasingly desperate to hire enough workers.

Ellen Zweibel, professor of astronomy and physics at the University of Wisconsin, explained why the findings could rule out the starburst model.

According to the 2019 American Community Survey, undocumented students account for over 427,000 students in U.S. higher education. Students who are eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — a policy which grants work permits and protects young people who entered the U.S. unlawfully as children — account for less than half of the undocumented student population.
Legislation passed includes a bill that would force UW System schools to use objective criteria for admissions. The measure would outlaw criteria based on race, national origin or religion. The bill’s supporters say UW’s current criteria is subjective and opaque, leaving the public no way to determine what standards an applicant must meet to be accepted. System officials say they don’t test applicants on the basis of race, ethnicity or religion. The Senate passed the measure 18-13. The Assembly approved it in February. It now goes to the governor.
