Cephus’ attorney, Steve Meyer, created quite the stir on Monday by claiming that the University of Wisconsin-Madison had “sent us a clear message they do not want… Cephus to be a student at the university this semester.” Not long after, the university released a statement in which it very stridently pushed back against the attorney’s contention:
The university issued a statement prior to Monday’s press conference saying no decision has been reached on Cephus’ petition and that he would receive the same treatment as any other student.
In celebration of college football’s 150th anniversary, Sports Illustrated has named Madison the #1 college town in the country.
“The university needs to think about how the nation-wide public and how people of color will view this institution,” Meyer told reporters Monday.
According to his attorney, Kathleen Stillman and Stephen Meyer, it’s time for the university to follow the jury’s lead, and overturn their expulsion, given the former Badger’s acquittal.
“He is my blood brother,” Badger inside linebacker and former teammate Chris Orr said. “These are people you live with for years. We know each other inside and out. We truly are a family.”
The University of Wisconsin-Madison won’t readmit former Badgers football player Quintez Cephus, his attorney told News 3 Now Monday, but the university responded calling the attorney’s comments “false,” saying a decision hasn’t been made.
In a tweet Monday afternoon, UW-Madison said the information was “not accurate” and that the university plans to make a statement.
Meyer incorrectly claimed earlier Monday that UW officials have already made up their mind and will deny Cephus. In the press conference, he pleaded to UW to let Cephus back in.

Quoted: “The data suggests very few women look at the lay of the land and say, ‘I’m not going to marry,’” says James Raymo, a professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has written extensively about marriage in Japan. Rather, he says, they “postpone and postpone and wait for the right circumstances, and then those circumstances never quite align and they drift into lifelong singlehood”
In an accompanying editorial, Kristen Malecki, Ph.D., MPH, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, noted that the findings support the importance of research examining interactions between epigenetics and low-cost therapies such as aspirin. According to Dr. Malecki, “The study by Wang et al. shows that beyond gene-environment interactions, epigenetic and environment interactions also exist, and suggest that DNA methylation could in the future help to support the identification of individuals for whom treatment may or may not be successful.

Quoted: According to Bill Tracy, an agronomy professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, none of the canned or frozen corn at the grocery store is GMO. (Because labeling standards established by the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Law aren’t compulsory until January 2022, stores don’t have to indicate which corn on the cob is GMO.) As of 2018, only about 10 percent of the sweet-corn acreage planted in the United States and Canada was genetically modified.

He’s an assistant professor in the department of anesthesiology at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison.
What’s new: In research published this week in Science Advances, geologist Brad Singer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues homed in on the last reversal event in search of the steps leading up to it.
Cheesy sci-fi movies depict the magnetic field shift as happening virtually overnight, and while researchers know that’s not the case it’s still hard to pin down an estimate. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison suggests that a pole flip which occurred around 770,000 years ago took tens of thousands of years to finish once it began.
That said, scientists generally don’t know what causes a reversal, nor how long it takes to play out – it’s believed that the average is about 7,000 years, but some studies suggest it could happen in less than 100 years. To investigate for the new study, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UC Santa Cruz and Kumamoto University looked to the turbulent time around the last geomagnetic reversal.

“Reversals are generated in the deepest parts of the Earth’s interior, but the effects manifest themselves all the way through the Earth and especially at the Earth’s surface and in the atmosphere,” said Brad Singer, study author and University of Wisconsin-Madison geologist. “Unless you have a complete, accurate and high-resolution record of what a field reversal really is like at the surface of the Earth, it’s difficult to even discuss what the mechanics of generating a reversal are.”
Robert Sanders, UW assistant professor of anesthesiology, said on average people’s cognition is “pretty much the same” after a major operation as compared to before, according to a study he authored that was recently published in the British Medical Journal.
