Bruce Wampold, emeritus professor of counseling psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has spent years studying the essential ingredients of therapy. Wampold points to a robust set of research indicating that more than the particulars of any method of treatment, it’s the relationship between therapist and patient that predicts outcomes.
The idea is the jet stream — the upper air circulation that drives weather — is wavier in amplified global warming, said University of Wisconsin-Madison climate scientist Steve Vavrus. And those wave changes in the upper air knock the polar vortex out of its place and toward the United States, Cohen said.
In a global context, University of Wisconsin-Madison demographer Fuxian Yi wrote on social media Wednesday that even if China stabilizes its birth rate at 1.0, its population will drop to under 400 million in 2100 compared to 366 million for the U.S., as predicted by the U.S. Census Bureau
“Chinese authorities and some international economists believed that China’s economic downturn in the past few years was caused by the “zero Covid” policy,” Yi Fuxian, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and an expert on Chinese demographics, told DealBook. “But China’s economic recovery was much weaker than expected last year, as the core drivers of the downturn were aging and a declining work force.”
“We believe in a diverse set of thoughts,” says Kaleb Autman, a Black student at the University of Wisconsin whose group is demanding a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech. “But when your thought is predicated on the subjugation of me or my people, or to a generalized people, then we have problems.”
“The rise of party activists is the theme of the last 20 years,” says Byron Shafer, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin who wrote the definitive history of the 1968 reforms in Quiet Revolution: The Struggle for the Democratic Party and the Shaping of Post-Reform Politics. “And a lot of it does come from what happened back then.”
Billy Blathras, 20, a student at University of Wisconsin–Madison, drove in last night with some of his fellow college Republicans to phone bank. “From my experience with the calls, most of them when we get an answer are for President Trump, which isn’t really too surprising considering his kind of commanding lead over the rest of the field,” he said
About 1 million people typically step up to work the polls in a presidential election, said Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The tributary streams used by Hovsgol grayling for spawning are also drying up. “They no longer have water in them during the spring spawning season,” says Olaf Jensen, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Nearly 80% of the 96 streams that once flowed into Lake Hovsgol are dry during the key months when the fish migrate.
A comprehensive analysis by FiveThirtyEight recommended going for two, especially late in the game, but a separate analysis by a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor, Laura Albert, concluded it’s best to kick the extra point. Even on similar questions, slightly different assumptions or data can lead to different answers.
Dr. Jones, an emeritus professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, devoted decades to explaining the American democratic process — why citizens vote as they do, how politicians wield or fail to wield their power while in office, and how the branches of government interact.
Wastewater testing works at all because “everybody poops,” said David O’Connor, a virologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“These previously invisible vessels radically changed our knowledge about the scale, scope and location of fishing activity,” writes Jennifer Raynor, an author of the study and a natural resource economist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, in the Conversation.
This is because the brain has to switch back and forth to give each one attention, says Megan Moreno, an adolescent medicine physician who studies media and digital health at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Over time, too much stimulation may be detrimental to your ability to concentrate on any one task. “We are in this world with lots of little micro interruptions,” Moreno says. “It is hard to piece together the stories, and it’s harder to retain them, because you have to do so much work to put them together.”
Mikhail Troitskiy, professor of practice at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Newsweek that the strategies of countries like Sweden and other NATO allies are being accentuated because Ukraine aid from countries like the U.S. could end. Russia might view this as an opening for “spillover” into other foreign lands.
By the 1890-91 school year, more than 200 of Massachusetts’s 351 towns had an average daily attendance of 90%, and only 11 were below 80%. During the following decades, mandatory schooling spread nationwide. William Reese, a professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, found that just 6% of adolescents were in high school in 1890 but that by 1930 half of them were.

The beta testing-like process has complicated financial aid advisors’ communication with students, said Helen Faith, director of the Office of Financial Aid at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In 5 billion years, our sun will balloon into a red giant star. Whether Earth survives is an “open question,” Melinda Soares-Furtado, an astrophysicist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, says. Sure, Earth could be swallowed by the sun and destroyed. But in some scenarios, Earth escapes and is pushed farther out into the solar system.
If you resolve to stay healthy, Madison, Wis., is a good choice. With five general hospitals — including UW-Madison School of Medicine — and more than 20 medical clinics, finding healthcare is accessible in Madison. The city also boasts a low percentage of uninsured residents and a high doctor-patient ratio.
Michelle A Chui, PharmD, PhD, a professor in pharmacy administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy, told Health she doesn’t think medicines can spoil in your medicine cabinet from shower or bath moisture, or general humidity in the home.
Researchers from GFW; the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Duke University; University of California, Santa Barbara; and SkyTruth analysed 2m gigabytes of satellite imagery between 2017 and 2021 to detect vessels and offshore infrastructure in coastal waters across six continents, where 75% of industrial activity is concentrated.
Researchers have recently found a way to shine a light on ocean activity that was once conducted in the shadows. A new study published in the journal Nature was spearheaded with Global Fishing Watch (GFW), alongside researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Duke University, University of California Santa Barbara, and SkyTruth. In it, they combined satellite imagery, vessel GPS data and artificial intelligence to map industrial vessel activity and offshore energy infrastructure across the world from 2017 to 202
The Wisconsin GOP forced the state to slash DEI programs in order to receive critical funding for the University of Wisconsin system, and the GOP-led state Assembly passed a bill that bans financial aid based on race and other forms of diversity. The right’s racist crusade against campus inclusivity is showing no sign of slowing down.
It’s ironic to say the least that the side that has made its entire identity about opposing cancel culture has now adopted it wholesale. Indeed, they used to be silent when students were chanting heinous things—like when a white student went on a anti-Black tirade at the University of Wisconsin-Madison last year. The video went viral, and many students wanted the woman to be expelled, yet the university did nothing because according to their statement on the matter, “the university can’t limit what students and faculty post to their personal social media accounts and can’t take action against posts that are not unlawful.
Calls for her resignation grew in the following weeks after dozens of plagiarism allegations, first reported on by The Washington Free Beacon, were unearthed, including this claim: “In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.”
Even some scholars whom Gay has been accused of plagiarizing have dismissed the allegations, including David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Gay has been accused of using nearly verbatim language from Canon’s 1999 book in an article she published in 2001.
The past 12 months in higher education in Wisconsin have been filled with major developments and some attention-grabbing headlines from the Universities of Wisconsin.

The new charges were first reported on by The Washington Free Beacon and included this claim: “In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.” The total number of plagiarism allegations against Gay are near 50, or “half of Gay’s published works,” according to the Free Beacon.
On its website, the bar association says the program is for University of Wisconsin and Marquette University law school students “with backgrounds that have been historically excluded from the legal field.” But the lawsuit alleges that is a new focus and that the program has historically been touted as a way to increase racial diversity among attorneys at law firms, private companies and in government.
New Jersey development continues to flourish in some of the Garden State’s most fire-prone areas, the Asbury Park Press found during an analysis of housing and forest data from the University of Wisconsin.
“It’s basically a place holder, because no one knows what the real number should be,” said Christian Franck, a professor of biomechanics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who is part of a team that is modeling the effects of blasts on the brain for the Defense Department. He echoed the assessment of many other researchers.“If the right kind of wave hits brain tissue, the tissue just breaks — it literally gets torn apart,” Dr. Franck said. “We see that in the lab. But what kind of blast will do that in real life? It’s complex. The work takes time. There is a lot we don’t know.”
He sent them photos and the coordinates. From there, the Wisconsin Historical Society and the state’s Department of Natural Resources began to investigate. They took their own sonar images of the wreck and compared the information with a shipwreck database the historical society runs with the University of Wisconsin’s Sea Grant Institute, said Tamara Thomsen, a Wisconsin Historical Society maritime archaeologist.
Julie Poehlmann at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studies families of incarcerated people. She says research has shown the value of in-person visits, both to the incarcerated person and family members. But she says a lot depends on the quality of the visit. In jails, she says, “in-person visit” often means the family is still separated by a glass partition or in-house video.
“But nobody has really dug into those effects in Greenland where we expected it might be happening,” said University of Wisconsin–Madison atmospheric scientist Kyle Mattingly.
Indigenous students will be able to attend the University of Wisconsin – Madison for free next year.
Indigenous students from any of Wisconsin’s 11 tribes will be able to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison for free beginning next fall, Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin announced Monday.

In K-12 schools, the outlines of the battle are different because speech is more circumscribed, especially for teachers, said Suzanne Eckes, a University of Wisconsin at Madison professor who studies education law. Teachers do not have First Amendment rights in the classroom and must stick to teaching the curriculum their district mandates, she said.
Some institutions choose to give out annual TA awards, similar to faculty awards, to recognize exceptional work among assistants. The University of Wisconsin at Madison has four categories of awards for which campus leaders nominate and award graduate teaching assistants.
Rich Kremer reports for Wisconsin Public Radio, which is staffed by employees of the University of Wisconsin-Madison: The Universities of Wisconsin will have the opportunity to give pay raises to its 34,000 employees and build a new $347 million engineering building in Madison under a deal approved Wednesday by the Board of Regents.

Dane County, Wis: Home to Madison and the University of Wisconsin, this county is all about the Democratic intensity in highly educated college towns. Biden netted 181,327 votes over Trump here in 2020 — up from Clinton’s 146,422 in 2016. And that Dem gain helped the party flip battleground Wisconsin in ‘20, given that Biden won the state by just 20,000 votes.
The county ranks 24th out of Maryland’s 24 counties for clinical care — anything relating to the direct medical treatment or testing of patients — according to data from University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute.
After a months-long standoff between the University of Wisconsin system and the Republican-controlled Legislature, the two parties brokered a deal to release $800 million in state funds — for long-delayed UW pay raises and key campus building projects — if the system agreed to realign dozens of diversity, equity, and inclusion positions and support several other Republican-backed priorities.
“These hydrogen neutral particles cause power losses in the plasma, which makes it very challenging to sustain a hot plasma and have an effective small fusion reactor,” said Mykola Ialovega, a postdoctoral researcher in nuclear engineering and engineering physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW–Madison). Ialovega has led research on a coating that has demonstrated the ability to line fusion reactor chambers and capture this rogue hydrogen.
Stanley Payne, a revisionist historian of Spanish fascism at the University of Wisconsin Madison until his retirement in 2004, has penned a string of recent articles in rightwing outlets like First Things which invite readers to compare the US with Spain in the 1930s. He has reiterated a line that Franco’s hand was forced by leftist violence and promoted the work of other revisionist historians like Pio Moa, who many professional historians dismiss as a “pseudo-historian”.
Editor’s Note: David Mott is the William S. Apple Distinguished Professor in Social and Administrative Sciences at the University of Wisconsin. CNN — Pharmacists swear an oath upon entering the profession to “assure optimal outcomes for all patients.” But current working conditions are making it nearly impossible to live up to this oath.
Karen Oberhauser, the director of the University of Wisconsin Arboretum and the founder of the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project, advises against rearing monarchs in captivity on a large scale or for more than a single generation, since captivity may disrupt the development of their navigational abilities and, over time, can alter their genetic makeup.
“The metallic traces are interesting, but I’ll caution that this was only a single event,” said Chris Vagasky, a lightning researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who was not involved in the new work. To see if all ghosts are iron-fueled spooks, he added, “it would be nice to see the results from multiple ghosts.”
