Marcus Randle El, a former University of Wisconsin football player who played for the Badgers from 2004 to 2007, was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for the 2020 murders of two women.
Meanwhile, output that’s the amount of stuff we’re making is not keeping up, said Menzie Chinn, an economics professor at the University of Wisconsin. “Production had jumped in the wake of the pandemic. And so what you have is the growth rate of production, which is largely determined by demand, is slowing a lot,” he said.
Bioengineered plants aren’t exactly new—other companies are using altered greenery to try and suck up more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In February, poplar trees designed by the start-up Living Carbon took root in Georgia in what might have been the first planting of genetically modified trees in a U.S. forest. And researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have experimented with mutated mustard plants that do the same thing.
“I don’t think we will see people with arc reactor-powered suits,” Stephanie Diem tells Inverse. “However, I see fusion in our future.” Diem is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who researches experimental plasma physics for fusion energy development.
As her college graduation approached in the spring of 2022, Natalie Lobo wrestled with how to pursue a business career. A graduate business degree “would really set me up for success down the line,” she says, but the University of Wisconsin senior couldn’t imagine starting a career and then interrupting it to pursue an MBA.
Ph.D. in counseling psychology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. Incoming Ph.D. students at the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin—Madison are guaranteed full funding for the duration of the time that they are expected on campus, according to the university’s department of counseling psychology website. Doctoral students also receive a benefits package that includes health insurance. Funding may come from financial aid, fellowships, assistantships and/or traineeships.
A former University of Wisconsin football player was sentenced Wednesday to two consecutive life sentences for the 2020 killings of two women, although his sentence gives him a chance to eventually seek early release.
“I think this data will have an immediate impact,” said Heather Neuman, a breast surgical oncologist and health services researcher at the University of Wisconsin. She was not involved in the study. “This is an extremely important question for young cancer survivors, as family planning is a critical life event.”
Certain places like Mr Marsh’s home state of West Virginia, as well as New Jersey and Tennessee, may be more ripe for bear encounters as they have growing populations of the mammals, said David Drake, a professor and extension wildlife specialist at the University of Wisconsin.
Back in 2015, Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker thought to burnish his culture warrior cred in advance of a bid for the presidency by taking arms against the University of Wisconsin. Walker cut the state university’s budget. His hand-picked board of regents gutted tenure protections for its faculty.
Administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are facing backlash and pressure from student organizations after the university appeared to take no action toward a white student who posted a racist video to social media.

Midwestern Madison is not only Wisconsin’s capital city, but it is also a charming college town, home to the flagship University of Wisconsin campus. But those college-aged Badgers aren’t the only generation enjoying Madison. The city is also considered one of the most beautiful places to retire in America, as well as one of 15 places to retire where health care is good.
That is the background. Researchers Ike Brannon at the Jack Kemp Foundation and Russell Kashian and Matthew Winden, both professors of economics at the University of Wisconsin, said that ultimately subsidies didn’t seem to deliver what they promised.
According to Alfred McCoy, a historian and Philippine political expert at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, neither the United States nor the Philippines “has reason to recall the troubled chapters in this century-long relationship.”

“A lot of learning has to do with how many you build,” said Gregory Nemet, a professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison and author of How Solar Energy Became Cheap.
“This is a quality issue, not a safety issue,” said Gina Mode, a butter researcher at the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Dairy Research. Butter will eventually go rancid but that won’t make people sick, she said. Ms. Mode in an informal survey of her colleagues found that 24 of 31 keep butter out, a telling data point among experts.
David O’Connor, who studies primate genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the studies tackle deep questions.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a new species of ancient reptile in central Wyoming and named it in the language of the First Nations people indigenous to the area where it was found.
One of the genes edited out in MEDUSA cells ― SLC8A1 ― “can impact the ability of heart cells to contract,” said Timothy Kamp, director of the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Still, he added, “I think the concept of editing these genes is powerful. Perhaps a simpler combination [of edits] may work.”
What low-income students really need is help with other expenses, such as housing, books and transportation – things free college programs don’t often cover. Those essentials account for about 80% of the cost of attending community college, according to researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Free college often is “a false promise,” Del Pilar said. “I don’t think equity is at the heart of these programs, because if it was, they would be designed a bit differently than what we see.”
“This is one of those drop-the-mic revelations,” said Christine Whelan, who studies the wellness industry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dr. Nasia Safdar, medical director of infection control at the University of Wisconsin, told CNET in 2021, when scientists were first getting a grip on long COVID, that the key to discerning the condition is to pay attention to new symptoms that develop or ones that never go away, starting about 30 days post-infection. This separates long COVID from the initial viral infection itself.
In 2020, as statues of Confederate generals and other contentious historical images were being taken down in many cities, Sanford Biggers, the acclaimed New York-based contemporary artist, and Amy Gilman, the director of the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, were watching with keen interest.

Allison M. Prasch is assistant professor of communication arts at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She studies U.S. presidential rhetoric.
He thinks that several fusion designs should be tested and is investing in another firm, Realta Fusion, a spinout from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Even if one of them can work, the planet is much better off is how I look at it,” he said.
The White House unleashed on House Republicans this week after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced his conditions for raising the debt ceiling. But as he tries to coalesce his conference, a very narrow majority, around his proposal before putting it to a vote on the House floor next week, the country’s borrowing authority “is not of much concern to the public, at this point,” according to Director Barry Burden of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Elections Research Center.
“Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain and Body” by Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson. This 2017 title was written by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and science journalist, and Richard Davidson, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and founder of the Center for Healthy Minds.
“If you have a traditional lawn, letting the grass grow to a foot tall or whatever it would be at the end of May is no value whatsoever,” says Susan Carpenter, native plant garden curator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum. Grass that long could be harmful to lawn health and become a mowing nightmare.
Our story begins in Africa, where our species and its close relatives evolved; even the Flores hominins are descended from a species called Homo erectus that arose in Africa before spreading across most of the world. Most of the hominin sites in southern Africa tend to be in caves, like the Rising Star Cave System, where University of Wisconsin anthropologist John Hawks and University of Witwatersrand anthropologist Lee Berger have studied the remains of a species called Homo naledi, first discovered in 2013.
I read several papers on peer effects on fertility with Angrist’s caveats in mind. One, by Jason Fletcher and Olga Yakusheva, looked at American teenagers and found that a 10 percentage point increase in pregnancies of classmates is associated with a 2 to 5 percentage point greater likelihood of a teenager herself becoming pregnant. Disentangling causality is “a really hard problem,” Fletcher, an economist at the University of Wisconsin’s La Follette School of Public Affairs, told me.
Between classes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, sorority sisters Avery Byrnes, 19, and Paige Mikkelson, 18, stopped for smoothies at a food truck outside the school’s 70-year-old Memorial Library.

To find out which cheeses freeze well, I spoke with Luis A. Jiménez-Maroto, assistant coordinator of cheese and dairy applications at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Dairy Research. It turns out that the answer isn’t quite that simple. “A hundred years of research have been put into freezing cheese, and it really is very granular,” he said. “It depends on the cheese that you’re talking about and what is important about it.”
“We hadn’t really seen prices that high for a while, if ever,” said University of Wisconsin-Madison dairy researcher Charles Nicholson, an associate professor of animal and dairy sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Nowhere in the world of corporate capitalism do underlings sit on the interview committees to hire their next boss. Logan Roy’s administrative assistant is not normally invited into the boardroom to help choose the next CEO in the world of HBO’s Succession. Mere mortals are not given a voice about whether Hawk Girl should be added to the team of superheroes that make up the Justice League—and perhaps rightly so. (Russ Castronovo and Elijah Levine)
Other researchers led by Robert Enright, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, have also focused on forgiveness for programs for young people. Their workbooks and teacher training programs have been shared with thousands of educators worldwide.
“If we run bad fiscal and monetary policies, if we close ourselves off, if we do idiotic things like default on debt and cause confidence to be lost in America, or if we excessively and unilaterally use financial sanctions, the dollar could see its role more quickly diminish,” he (Mark Sobel) said during a recent appearance at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, video of which has been shared on the website of the school’s European Studies program.
There is also emerging evidence that the personality traits thought to undergird political beliefs – such as empathy, risk-taking, and a preference for competition vs cooperation – may be partly inherited. A literature review by New York University and the University of Wisconsin found evidence that political ideology is about 40 per cent genetic. Hence, the Collinses fear that as fertility declines it will not be some racial Other who outbreeds everyone else but each culture’s equivalent of the neo-Nazis. ‘We are literally heading towards global Nazism, but they all hate each other!’ says Malcolm.
Carla Vigue is the director of tribal relations for the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Her work at the school includes building relationships with tribal nations, communities, and organizations. She was recently named an influential leader in the state.
Developed by experts at the Center for Healthy Minds at University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Healthy Minds Program is designed to give users practical skills for practicing mindfulness in daily life.
“The US has done poorly in teaching kids to read for a long time,” says Mark Seidenberg, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. And the problem isn’t confined to English-speaking countries: there is also confusion about how to teach children to read other languages.
And in one study of university students by University of Wisconsin researcher Patricia Devine, unconscious bias training attendees were able to notice and distinguish bias in others more than their colleagues who had not taken the training after two weeks, and they were still able to do so two years after training. This particular training included awareness training, testing, and training on strategies to identify and overcome bias when they recognize it.
Jessica McCrory Calarco, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, weighed in on the little-known history, too. “As I teach my students, kids’ clothing only became gendered when capitalists realized they could double their money by selling separate clothes for girls and boys,” she tweeted. “Before that, kids wore gender-neutral dresses, which better accommodated growth spurts and toilet training.”
In a statement, University of Wisconsin spokesperson Greg Bump told Insider that the school’s “Division of University Housing is a 100% self-funded auxiliary and does not receive taxpayer funds,” and that its room and board price increases “are necessary to keep pace with cost inflation, to provide funding for building maintenance and projects, and to provide student employees with fair wages.”
A University of Wisconsin at Madison art professor allegedly bared her breasts to a student on campus, resulting in a disorderly conduct citation and current removal from teaching duties.
With its direct connection to the heart, its vivid hue (from wine-dark to cherry bright and cobalt blue), and its spilling in both birth and death, blood has historically served as a metaphor for humanity, as Susan Lederer, a professor of medical history and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, argues in her 2008 book, Flesh and Blood. “Write with blood, and thou wilt find that blood is spirit,” wrote Friedrich Nietzsche in the 1880s. “All the soarings of my mind begin in my blood,” wrote Rainer Maria Rilke in 1921. “Blood is memory without language,” added Joyce Carol Oates, more recently.
For example, the University of Wisconsin has been awarded a $5 million grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a system that can detect and “strategically correct” what the government perceives as misinformation relating to COVID, elections, and vaccines. This new grant adds to the previous $7.5 million grant awarded by the NSF to ten universities to develop anti-misinformation tools as part of the “Trust & Authenticity in Communication Systems” initiative.
April 11-17 marks Black Maternal Health Week, a week-long campaign officially recognized by the Biden administration as a time to address racial inequities in Black maternal health and to “amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences” of Black during pregnancy.

Competing for the University of Wisconsin, he won two N.C.A.A. wrestling titles, including one over John Smith, arguably America’s greatest wrestler. Mr. Jordan says he applies the lessons he learned from wrestling to his current role.
Keeping global warming under control will require the removal of between 450 billion and 1.1 trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2100, according to the first global report dedicated to the topic, released in January. That would require the CDR sector “to grow at a rate of about 30 percent per year over the next 30 years, much like what happened with wind and solar,” said one of its authors, Gregory Nemet.
“Deflation is rare in America for any time longer than a year,” says Menzie Chinn, economics professor at the University of Wisconsin. “But over the last 30 years, we’re more accustomed to low inflation, rather than the inflation we’ve been seeing.”
John Karl Scholz, provost and Nellie June Gray Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, has been selected as president of the University of Oregon.
Another sudden drought happened in the U.S. Southeast in 2016 and was a factor in devastating wildfires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, said Jason Otkin, a study co-author and an atmospheric scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
