In their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Torche and Jenna Nobles from the University of Wisconsin-Madison analyzed birth records from siblings born in California between 2014 and 2023. By comparing sibling births, the researchers found that from July to November 2020 mothers were nearly twice as likely to give birth three weeks before their due date.
Also on this year’s list is Grace Stanke, a 21-year old nuclear engineering student—and the Miss America 2023—who wants to help America transition to zero-carbon energy and thinks nuclear is an option largely overlooked in that transition. Stanke, based in Wisconsin, uses her platform to reach all ages, from curious kindergarteners to senior citizens and politicians. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin in May, and after she spends a year touring the country as Miss America and advocating for clean energy, she has a job lined up as a nuclear fuels engineer at Constellation Energy.

That I would go out and occupy these spaces was an important part of designing the performance.”
The risk of developing CKD generally increases with age. “This is often due to a longer exposure to medical conditions or medications that can harm the kidney function,” says Laura Maursetter, DO, a nephrologist who’s an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure are all known risk factors for kidney disease, as is long-term use of over-the-counter NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.
The truth is that Ms. Tai is taking the pen away from Facebook, Google and Amazon, who helped shape the previous policy, according to a research paper published earlier this year by Wendy Li, a doctoral candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who used to answer the phone and interact with lobbyists at the U.S. trade representative’s office.

“Republicans’ only real backstop to prevent undoing of their conservative legislative and judicial accomplishments over the past 15 years is their majorities in the state Legislature,” said Barry Burden, UW-Madison politics professor and director of the Elections Research Center. “Enshrining some conservative ideas in the state Constitution is a way to protect them even if Republicans lack full control over state government.”
Jennifer Gaddis, a school nutrition expert at UW-Madison who works with the Madison School District, said these participation rates raise some red flags.
As the second-largest school district in the state, in a city that prides itself on local food options, Gaddis said she thinks it’s a “failure” that administration and the community are not “demanding more.”

In a poorly ventilated room in a dairy lab on ninth floor of UW-Madison’s Animal and Dairy Sciences building, more than $1 million of research equipment sits on decades-old desks. An average-looking air purifier on the floor nearby keeps the machines running.
That’s because salt, rainwater and snowmelt drain into the storm sewer system, which then discharges into Lakes Mendota and Monona, UW-Madison limnologist Hilary Dugan told the Cap Times last year.
“The city has been very forward-thinking in reducing (its) salt use,” Dugan said. “It’s frustrating when you cross over from city-maintained paths to campus-maintained paths because the sudden change in practice is just so noticeable.”

The 1,600-bed complex, which includes a small amount of lower-income rent prices, would see four buildings erected on the block bounded by Johnson, Gorham and Broom streets. Given the moniker “Johnson & Broom,” the latest development from Chicago-based Core Spaces features another agreement between the company, the city and UW-Madison to give some future student tenants lower rents than they’d get in other market-rate apartments.
All but one of the fifth-ranked Badgers’ matches at the UW Field House this season has been an announced sellout of 7,229. It’ll be the same for Friday afternoon’s tussle with No. 1 Nebraska, and the lowest price for a general admission ticket on the secondary market was well above the cost of a season ticket.
My wife, Kim, had a good idea last January. UW-Madison has 23 varsity sports. Kim challenged me to attend at least one competition for each of the 23 sports in 2023, accompanied by her of course.
University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin said: “The presence of this hateful group in Madison is utterly repugnant. I am horrified to see these symbols here in Madison.

Irish eyes will be smiling at UW football in just a few years.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” highlights the U.S. government’s role in a historical injustice. But those concerned with modern poverty should not lose sight of the elephant in today’s room. Oppressive regulatory oversight means paper rights for American Indians, paper rights mean dead capital, and dead capital means poverty. We can’t change the past, but the federal government should cut today’s white tape.

The Legislature should quickly take up and approve funding for a new engineering building on the UW-Madison campus. If the Republican-run Legislature thought AmFam Field was a good proposal for Wisconsin — and it definitely was — then get a load of this offer: a $350 million engineering building that costs the public less and delivers the state economy far more.
