Quoted: Dr. Robert Golden, dean of the UW-Madison medical school, said a new medical school would have to include comprehensive residency programs for additional training after graduation. That would be cost-prohibitive, he said. That must also be examined in the study of a third medical school?s needs and impact.

Quoted: “There are lots of governors with approval ratings in the 30s and 40s who aren?t recalled. Just being unpopular isn?t sufficient,” says political science professor Barry C.

Quoted: ?It?s another fascinating twist on the story of how the heart can maintain and repair itself long term,? said University of Wisconsin, Madison, stem cell biologist Tim Kamp, who was not involved in the study. ?They make a strong case that these [cells] are resident within the heart, and are poised to do the maintenance of the structure of the heart.?
