Yes, but not in the same way that perishable items such as eggs, chicken and produce do. When candy goes bad, it’s “almost always a physical (drying out) or chemical (lipid oxidation, flavor change) change and not microbial,” Richard W. Hartel, a food science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says.
Hamas attacks and the Israeli response. Colleges and universities around the country are reconsidering their neutrality policies in the wake of such positions adopted by the University of Virginia, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Southern California, Harvard, Stanford, and many others. Schools are balancing, on the one hand, whether they put student rights or voices at risk when they take sides on controversial issues or whether they have a moral obligation to address societal wrongs.
Non-hallucinogenic, consciousness-altering experiences, like those reported to result from tabernanthalog use, sound far away from such mystical experiences, and more akin to how some people might feel after drinking a glass of wine or a strong cup of coffee. “Many of us are just filling our bodies with substances that cause acute alterations in consciousness of various degrees,” says Chuck Raison, a psychiatry professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
For the Democrats, the strategy entails running up the numbers in Milwaukee and Dane County, home to Madison — the state capitol and the University of Wisconsin. Biden won more than 75% of the vote there in 2020. Democrats are also trying to stanch the bleeding in rural swaths that have swung heavily towards Trump.
“It’s the entire case, and that is Mr. Roberson’s case,” Keith Findley, professor emeritus with the University of Wisconsin Law School, testified before the Texas Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence last week. “When you have a prosecution, a conviction that rests entirely upon medical, scientific opinion, and it turns out that medical science is, at best, deeply disputed, you have a recipe for real problems.”
“This moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza,” Harris said during a campaign speech the University of Wisconsin.
“If the monarch migration to this part of the world is to continue, both the trees and the monarchs will need to move,” says Karen Oberhauser, a biologist at University of Wisconsin-Madison who was not involved in the study. According to Oberhauser, who studies monarch butterfly ecology, assisted migration could be a possible solution; however, whether it will work remains to be seen.
In 2007, he (Errol Morris) was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was a graduate student at Princeton University and the University of California-Berkeley. He has received the Columbia Journalism Award and honorary degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Brandeis University, and Middlebury College.
In their letter to the attorney general, Merrick Garland, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin and the non-profit organization Free Speech for People claimed that the text message had “targeted young voters aged 18-25” and “reached many voters who are part of the University of Wisconsin system”. Now, the letter alleges, “many students and other young voters are fearful that they will face criminal prosecution if they register and exercise their right to vote – because of a malicious, inaccurate text sent by an anonymous party.”

According to the University of Wisconsin, almost one-third of US land is in the so-called wildland-urban interface and thus susceptible to forest fires, up from 29.5% in 1990. Meanwhile, people are spreading out; some 44 million US homes are now under threat from fire, up from 30 million in 1990, the data shows. Climate change is making those 72,000 communities more tenuous.
To test this idea, Keys and Philip Mulder, now on faculty at the University of Wisconsin at Madison’s business school, searched for the prelude to a housing crash: a distinctive “lead-lag” pattern of a spike in unsold homes (“the lead”), followed by falling prices (“the lag”).
“The quick and dirty answer is that [we] discourage it,” Amy Nichelason, a veterinarian and clinical assistant professor of primary care services at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, tells Inverse. She says it’s not difficult to understand why dogs might enjoy riding with their heads out the window. With their keen sense of smell, “it really is just like sensory overload,” Nichelason says. “It’s like me in the candy store.”
If you’re hoping to keep the stink bugs out, your options are slightly limited. The best way is physical exclusion, according to PJ Liesch, the director of the UW-Madison Insect Diagnostic Lab who is aptly referred to as “the Wisconsin Bug Guy.”
Apart from this niche-use case, it’s not clear whether these statistics are even helpful for the people who watch games with the FanDuel app open. When I called up Michael Titelbaum, a philosopher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who works on probability, he told me that these statistics are easy to misinterpret. “Decades of cognitive-science experiments tell us that people are really, really bad at making sense of probability percentages,” he said.
Lucas Graves, a journalism and mass communications professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said that publicly chafing at fact-checking has become a form of tribalism among some Republicans.
“A big concern for me [is] that the kids who are already poorly served will fall further behind because there won’t be anything that requires states” to use the funding equitably, says Gloria Ladson-Billings, a professor emerita of education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
The amount of lightning in Hurricane Milton is “unlike any event” meteorologist Chris Vagasky has ever seen in the Atlantic Basin. Hurricane Milton’s eyewall, where the storm’s strongest winds are, exhibited more than 58,000 lightning events in just 14 hours, according to Vagasky, a meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. That’s more than one lightning event every second, which he described as “astounding.”
Hillel has been foundational to so many Jewish stories over the past century. In the 1930s, it established a student refugee program, saving the lives of nearly 150 young European Jews. In 1947, it helped Hungarian-born Tom Lantos come to the U.S., where he became the only Holocaust survivor to ever be elected to Congress. In the 1950s and ’60s, Hillels across the country organized robust support for the civil-rights movement. In 1960, at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the Hillel director Max Ticktin addressed 500 students in a march on Library Mall and called for an end to both local and national discrimination, and encouraged students to fight against racist Jim Crow laws.
Dove’s Beauty Bar is an easy-to-use cleanser that’s also budget friendly, says Dr. Apple Bodemer, a board-certified dermatologist and associate professor of dermatology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. The hypoallergenic formula is safe to use as both a facial cleanser and body soap, and it contains mild and moisturizing ingredients like glycerin that can help maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, according to the brand.
Trump’s proposals to deport millions of undocumented immigrants — which would be exceedingly difficult to carry out — would bring major consequences for the construction industry and the overall housing market if he succeeds. In a widely cited February paper, researchers at the University of Utah and the University of Wisconsin found that higher immigration enforcement reduced the number of construction workers and led to less home building and higher home prices. The paper also found that “undocumented labor is a complement to domestic labor,” and that deporting undocumented construction workers also cut back on the labor supplied by domestic workers.
But the picture is more complicated. Migrants living in the country illegally have been more likely to live in overcrowded conditions, meaning their departure would leave fewer units available. Undocumented laborers make up a significant portion of the construction workforce. A recent paper from researchers at the University of Utah and University of Wisconsin found that greater immigration enforcement led to less homebuilding, higher home prices and fewer jobs for domestic construction workers.
The complex shape of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one hurdle limiting the development of treatments for an infection that leads to hospitalization or worse for hundreds of thousands of people in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New images of the virus from researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison may hold the key to preventing or slowing RSV infections.
There’s a wonderful new book by a scholar at the University of Wisconsin [at Madison], Xueli Wang, called Delivering Promise, and she says, “We need to be students first and educators first.”
Cheese makers’ key tool in adjusting the number of these bonds is acidity, says John Lucey, a food scientist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and director of the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research. In cheese made at a relatively neutral pH, there are enough calcium bonds that casein molecules are stiffly bound to each other.
Some campus organizers at schools like Arizona State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are leading community campaigns for legal defense to support students and community members facing legal action. These efforts have persisted throughout the summer with groups at the University of Wisconsin-Madison “packing the court” for their peers’ hearings, raising money for bail funds, and leading public pressure movements to get charges dropped.
There is such a thing as an endemic fungus, a place a fungus grows and where it doesn’t. So, moving it should be done thoughtfully,” said Anne Pringle, a professor of botany at University of Wisconsin-Madison. “In practice, we’re only about conserving plants and animals. We don’t have that sense of the biodiversity of fungi. But we’re starting to have that conversation.”
Terri L. Young, co-chair of the NASEM committee that produced the report and chair of the department of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, talked with Scientific American about the implications of the myopia epidemic for people with myopia and policymakers.
With extreme weather becoming more frequent and destructive due to climate change, homeowners in parts of the U.S. facing mounting risks are likely to see significantly higher insurance costs in the years ahead, according to a June paper from experts at the University of Wisconsin and University of Pennsylvania. “Property insurance serves as the front line of defense against climate risk for homeowners and real estate investors,” the researchers noted. “By 2053, we estimate that climate-exposed homeowners will be paying $700 higher annual premiums due to increasing wildfire and hurricane risk.”
Pumpkin on its own is not toxic to dogs. In fact, a little pumpkin can do some good in some cases because it’s high in fiber. “If people are worried that their dog’s stool is a little firm or hard, or that they’re constipated, we’ll use it because of its nice, high fiber content to help soften stool,” Calico Schmidt, a veterinarian and clinical instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, tells Inverse. “So it can be nice and beneficial, and many dogs like it, which is a plus, too.”

“It’s really pushing back against this idea that you need to constantly be buying things to have a happy and fulfilling life,” Megan Doherty Bea, assistant professor of consumer science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared with CNN.
Red light therapy applies specific wavelengths of light (usually around 630 nanometers) onto your skin. This wavelength can penetrate 2 to 3 millimeters below the skin, and cause positive reactions in the cells just under your skin, says Dr. Apple Bodemer, a board-certified dermatologist and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
At the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Thomas Pile, chairman of the campus chapter of the College Republicans, said he is encouraged by how open-minded his classmates with different political attitudes have been in discussing the candidates’ positions.

Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison and director of its Elections Research Center, said Cavanaugh’s title could bring legitimacy to the notion that election officials are conspiring to falsify election outcomes. And the claim comes just as many voters are beginning to pay attention to the coming election, Burden said.
Hybrid breeding will enable breeders to create new varieties faster and more systematically, said Shelley Jansky, a retired plant breeder at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. New potato cultivars could better withstand diseases, heat, drought, or salt.
Of course, you don’t have to be wading through piles of leaves before your yard sees results. Experts suggest leaving anywhere from 20 percent to 50 percent of leaf accumulation alone. Diana Alfuth, an extension educator for the University of Wisconsin’s horticulture department, explains that small amounts of leaves will redistribute themselves with the wind while larger collections need a quick run-through with a lawnmower to become fertilizer. But if you can barely see the green beneath the red and brown, it’s time to take action.
The Crossroads team compiled a panel of experts to attend the town hall and join the discussion alongside Woodruff and the participants: conservative commentator and Wisconsin resident Charlie Sykes, University of Wisconsin political science professor Katherine Cramer, and retired U.S. Navy Commander and writer Theodore Johnson.
“It really did suggest that in humans, these drugs, mTOR inhibitors, can improve something that becomes impaired with older adults,” said Adam Konopka, an assistant professor of geriatrics and gerontology at the University of Wisconsin, who was not involved in the research.
After the Constitutional Convention came to a close and the complete draft of the Constitution was finalized in 1787, the founders’ last step was to have the document ratified by at least nine of the original 13 colonies, making it binding to the government of the new nation. As part of that process, Congress printed out 100 copies and sent them around the country, John Kaminski, an expert in the document’s history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in an email.
Elsdon started working in this space while serving as the executive director of a campus ministry center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he helped oversee the construction of student housing. Since he helped launch RootedGood in January 2020, he’s talked to faith-based groups across the country.“It’s just in the air,” said Elsdon. “Even churches that are doing well should be thinking about using their resources better.”
Using tariffs as geopolitical influencers and industry protections sounds like a great idea. But a recent study out of the University of Wisconsin found that the US tariff codes are regressive and favor the luxury market over the mundane—a handbag made of reptile leather has a tariff rate of 5.3%, while a plastic-sided handbag has a tariff rate of 16%.
Dr. Elizabeth Salisbury-Afshar, an addiction physician at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has trained doctors in prescribing buprenorphine, said that the buprenorphine reforms had changed the culture around offering the drug, allowing it to be prescribed by phone or through a telehealth appointment. “We’re going to treat it like other medicines,” she said.
Matthews, 66, was a Democratic voter for nearly all his adult life, motivated by antiwar positions he embraced as a student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in the early 1980s.
While those cases exist, I’ve also worked with enough families to know that an adult child’s marriage may disrupt once-close family relationships. For example, in my survey of 1,632 estranged parents conducted through the University of Wisconsin Survey Center, I found that 70 percent of parents didn’t become estranged from their adult child until after their child married.
Sharing your bed with your cat increases the risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases, which are ones that are transmissible from animals to humans. According to Calico Schmidt, a veterinarian and clinical instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, this is especially true if you have an outdoor cat.
That seeming-lack of interest in joining the growing green energy market is the focus of a recent economic study coming out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison details barriers – like federal red tape – that tribes face when starting green energy projects. If these prohibitive barriers are not addressed, researchers tribes across the United States will lose out on 19 billion dollars of revenue by 2050.
Dahlia Saba, a PhD student at University of Wisconsin–Madison who worked with Students for Justice in Palestine, believes the Uncommitted Movement has made their demands for an arms embargo and permanent ceasefire clear and now is the time for action from Harris.
“President Trump is making inroads with young voters on campuses like the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his message of making American wealthy, safe, and strong again is resonating with Wisconsinites of all backgrounds,” Kelly said. “The momentum is on our side.”
Dane County, where Ms. Harris is holding a rally on Friday night, is home to the state government, the sprawling flagship University of Wisconsin campus and, particularly in the last decade, a flourishing health care and technology industry.

Public Investigator consulted Suzanne Eckes, education law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, about the school board’s decision. A former lawyer and public high school teacher, Eckes researches how civil rights laws impact education policies in public schools.Although some Muskego-Norway schools are included on Moms for Liberty’s growing list, Eckes said the district cannot exclude transgender students from protections. “Whether they kick it out of their policy or not, they still need to follow the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision,” said Eckes, who clarified that she is speaking on her own behalf, not the university’s.
I consider this to be the most underrated capital in the U.S. Every time I cross the country, I make a point of spending a day here. Home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, it has a big city feel in a small package. It’s a town filled with arts, great food, and, as it’s surrounded by nature, lots of outdoor activities.
“It was long overdue,” said Dr. Terri Young, committee co-chair and professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
University of Wisconsin Hospitals is among the institutions ranked.
“He projects. He says, ‘Crazy Nancy’ — he is crazy,” Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker, said at the University of Wisconsin on Monday. “He says, ‘Crooked Hillary’ — he’s crooked. Every adjective he uses is really about himself.”
The complaint was published by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news site that has published a number of similar complaints. Claudine Gay, Harvard’s first Black president, resigned in January after reports by the Washington Free Beacon highlighted instances of alleged plagiarism. In February, the site published a plagiarism complaint about a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) officer at Columbia, Alade McKen. In March, it published a similar complaint against the chief diversity officer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, LaVar Charleston
