Rowlands quit the University of Wisconsin in her junior year to pursue an acting career in New York. Like other actors of her generation, she gained invaluable experience in the thriving field of television drama in the 1950s, appearing on all the major series.
In 2017–18, the University of Wisconsin System consolidated its 13 two-year college campuses into seven of its comprehensive universities. UW Platteville, UW Milwaukee at Washington County, UW Oshkosh at Fond du Lac, UW Green Bay at Marinette, UW Milwaukee at Waukesha, and UW Oshkosh at Fox Cities have all effectively closed over the past couple years—even though they don’t count in official statistics, as this Inside Higher Ed piece makes clear. More consolidation conversations are taking place in the state.
Air Force veteran and congressional candidate Elsa Duranceau is a University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate who works with local community collaboration efforts for child care, elder care and rural small business development.
“It’s been a very quiet contest in a district that is not likely to elect a Republican anytime soon,” University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Barry Burden told Wisconsin Public Radio. “But this is at least an opportunity for the party to pick a favorite and try to make a stab at winning a difficult seat.”
Dr. Shoemaker and his colleagues at Pitt, along with counterparts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will now try to build on a decade of studies that looked at hormones as a reason and a possible solution.
Let’s dig deeper to explore why tropical cyclone tornadoes can happen. Most explanations mention “frictional effects,” so I will start there. The Weather Guys blog is a legendary and informative platform administered by my colleagues Jonathan Martin and Steve Ackerman (retired), professors at the University of Wisconsin. They write, “When a hurricane makes landfall, the winds near the ground slow down, while the upper-level winds keep their momentum. This change in the wind speed — and sometimes direction — with height is called wind shear.” There’s more to the story, however.
“It has been a brilliant political move by the opposition, an extremely impressive logistical achievement”, said Andrés Pertierra, a PhD candidate in Latin American and Caribbean history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Basically, the opposition is forcing Chavismo to own up to the fact that they’re stealing the election.”
Till Wagner, a professor in University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies how ice interacts with climate, said he has never seen a real-life example of this phenomenon on such a massive scale.
The more self-compassion you have, the greater your emotional arsenal. A series of studies from the University of Wisconsin show that meditation cultivates compassion and kindness, affecting brain regions that make you more empathetic to other people.

Hoare, a former N.C.A.A. champion at the University of Wisconsin who lives and trains in Boulder, Colo., acknowledged that he had to get used to the process. No one, not even some of the testers, would admit that any of this is normal.
Barry Burden, a professor of politics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggested that Harris’ ability to draw large crowds would benefit her in the 2024 race. “It has been a point of pride among Trump’s supporters that his rallies have attracted much larger crowds than did Biden in 2020 or Clinton in 2016,” Burden told Agence France-Presse. He added, “Now that Harris is speaking to large crowds that rival or exceed Trump’s, this rationale for believing Trump is the advantaged candidate disappears.”
Without fundamental changes to the student debt system, “it’s like it’s groundhog day,” remarked Nick Hillman, an expert on student loan policy at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
“By measuring the concentrations of these isotopes in the recently exposed bedrock we can determine how much time in the past the bedrock was exposed, which tells us how often the glaciers were smaller than today—kind of like how a sunburn can tell you how long someone was out in the sun,” Shakun said.Shakun led the project with former BC graduate student Andrew Gorin, partnering with researchers from the University of Wisconsin and Tulane University on the American Cordillera project, then seeking samples and data from colleagues at Aix-Marseille University, the National University of Ireland, Aspen Global Change Institute, Ohio State University, Union College, University Grenoble Alpes, and Purdue University.
Gopalan and Donald Harris’s marriage began to fall apart as their careers took off, with Kamala Harris eventually writing in her memoir that her parents “stopped being kind to one another” by the time she was just 5 years old. Gopalan and her daughters moved with Donald Harris to the Midwest when he scored limited professorship stints at the University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana and then at Northwestern University, but Gopalan moved with her daughters back to the Bay Area in 1970 while Donald Harris was working a tenure-track position at the University of Wisconsin. Right when Donald Harris returned to the Bay Area to join the University of Stanford’s economics department in 1972, Gopalan filed for divorce.
Trump’s deportation policy could sway voters toward Vice President Kamala Harris as 70 percent of the labor on Wisconsin’s dairy farms is carried out by more than 10,000 undocumented migrant workers, according to a survey carried out by the University of Wisconsin.
“With global temperatures increasing, that raises the potential ‘baseline’ for the average temperatures,” said David Mikolajczyk, a research meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a result, “strong warming events such as this one can occur more frequently and have a bigger impact.”
But, she cautions, more research is needed to show whether these early results hold up. “We just don’t have enough information on the full lifespan of autistic people. Understandably, I think, that creates a lot of distress among autistic people and their loved ones,” says Bishop, an associate professor of social work at University of Wisconsin-Madison
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed the suit against NIH in 2021 on behalf of Madeline Krasno and Ryan Hartkopf, social media users whose comments had been removed from NIH posts. Krasno told The Washington Post in May that she witnessed animal abuse in a monkey research lab at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She later began posting online about her experiences, only to find that both Wisconsin and NIH were removing her comments.
By 1927, Edward Holyoke Farrington was presenting this explanation as a matter of fact in A Guide to Quality in Dairy Products, published by the University of Wisconsin. “A thick, sultry atmosphere usually precedes thunder showers and provides favorable conditions for the growth of milk-souring bacteria,” Farrington wrote. He also noted another significant factor: “the condition of the milk cans.” If milk is stored in unsanitized vessels that already harbor bacterial cultures, it will curdle even faster when exposed to the warm, wet air bacteria love. “No effect from thunder and lightning on milk and cream will be noticed,” Farrington assured readers, so long as the milk was chilled, and “if the cows are clean, the milk cans are clean, and all the utensils carefully sterilized.”
A previously theorized barrier to tokamak fusion known as the Greenwald limit has now been smashed by a factor of ten, thanks to the efforts of a team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin.
Dane County, which includes Madison, is the fastest-growing county in the state, fueled by the combination of the University of Wisconsin and the state capital’s workforce.
“We created a cell line from an endangered bat species (little brown bat) to create a model for the disease in animals that are not available to be studied,” study co-author Dr. Bruce Klein — a professor of Pediatrics, Medicine, and Medical Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison — told Salon. “We created a model of hibernation, which is so critical to understanding of the pathogenesis of the infection.”
In the primary, she won thanks in part to the strength of a huge turnout at the University of Wisconsin campus. The newspaper headline the next day was “Youthquake.” And she went to Congress. She did a great job there.
Dr. Scott received his Ph.D. in political science from Yale in 1967. He taught for several years at the University of Wisconsin, where he was active in the antiwar movement and acquired a deeper interest in Southeast Asian rural peoples.
Democrats have seen their dominance among Latino voters steadily ebb, from a three-to-one edge in the 1970s to roughly two-to-one today, said Benjamin Marquez, a University of Wisconsin political scientist.The Republican strategy now, he said, is not to win the Latino vote outright but to “shave off enough Latino votes” to prevail.

Voter turnout in the last two Associated Students of Madison elections has been a measly 3%. In the Spring 2024 election, just 1,273 students out of the University of Wisconsin’s 48,557 total student body cast a vote via ASM’s online voting platform.
Currently, there are limited ways that a non-citizen immigrant can take to reach this goal, according to Director of Immigration Justice Clinic at the University of Wisconsin Law School Erin Barbato.
While many students at the University of Wisconsin use their summer to vacation, bolster their resume with an internship or take an extra course, there’s still plenty going on in the world of UW athletics. Between the imminent release of College Football 25, the roster list being announced for the Paris 2024 Olympics, the reveal of the UW Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2024 and much more, there’s something for everyone to catch up on at UW.
University of Wisconsin-Madison Director of Athletics Chris McIntosh has signed a five-year extension that runs through June 30, 2029. “Chris is an extremely effective leader at a time of unprecedented change across the collegiate athletics landscape,” Chancellor Jennifer L. Mnookin said in a release. “In the midst of this shift, he continues to position the Badgers for long-term success in the top tier of college sports. I’m thrilled he’ll continue to be a Badger and look forward to his leadership in the years to come

The Harmonic Hospitality Group plans to open a restaurant (The Stuffed Olive), an ’80s-to-’00s-themed dance club (Roxxy) and an arcade bar (Double Tap Beercade) on the 300 block of State Street within oLiv — a student housing building located near the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus.
What are health care-associated infections? Nasia Safdar: These are infections that occur as a result of exposure to the health care system. People coming in for care are typically quite sick, so they’re at risk of acquiring bacteria that can then cause an infection while they’re in the hospital, or shortly after they’re discharged from the hospital.
Crucially, the rule explicitly applies to a scenario in which Vance voluntarily steps aside, says Kenneth Mayer, a recently retired political-science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He told BI there was no precedent for forcibly ripping the nomination away from a vice-presidential candidate after the convention.
Dr. Nathan P. Kalmoe, the executive administrative director of the University of Wisconsin — Madison’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication, explained to Salon that groups which are told they are under attack — much as Trump told his audience that the person who tried to shoot him was really attacking all of them — are more likely to commit violence.
Dr. Apple Bodemer, a board-certified dermatologist and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, told us that she’s a fan of this deodorant since it won’t cause irritation, as it’s free of baking soda. Instead, it uses arrowroot powder and cornstarch to help you stay dry. The creamy formula is also infused with nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, castor seed oil and blueberry leaf extract
Historically, getting an up-close look at home insurance costs across the U.S. has been almost impossible because private insurers don’t publicly disclose what they charge. Benjamin Keys, a professor of real estate at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, and Philip Mulder, a professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Business, have found a workaround.
Lavelle was a four-year starter for the University of Wisconsin from 2013-16. She earned Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year honors as a freshman in 2023 after scoring six goals and seven assists across 19 appearances.
Phillips broke a long list of barriers as the first Black woman to graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School, to win a seat on the Milwaukee City Council and to become a judge in Wisconsin. Then she became the first woman and Black person elected to statewide office in Wisconsin, serving as secretary of state from 1979 to 1983. She died in 2018 at age 95.
The University of Wisconsin at Madison’s Student Success Through Applied Research lab, which has focused on rural college access since 2020, has expanded its work since joining the STARS network, Betley said. The lab has produced an interactive mapping tool and report to document which rural areas have access to postsecondary programs and provide new insights into rural college enrollment trends. The findings even helped the university identify districts where students can use support and launch a statewide college-access program called College for Rural Wisconsin.
The latest research, which comes from a team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shows the virus can be transmitted by respiratory droplets in ferrets, but inefficiently. Amie Eisfeld, an author of the study, says their lab has not seen this kind of transmission event with any other version of highly pathogenic avian influenza that they’ve isolated from the natural world and tested in ferrets.

“Respectfully, these are makeweight arguments designed to deflect attention from the Biden/DNC plan to run out the clock, which has been discernible since at least early last week,” University of Wisconsin Law School Dean Daniel Tokaji wrote on an election blog hosted by fellow respected expert Rick Hasen, a law professor at UCLA.
The debate over how to balance environmental concerns and property rights is becoming more common, said Max Besbris, a sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who specializes in housing and climate change. “There’s a very real anxiety” over best practices, he said, especially since a house is the biggest purchase many people will ever make.
University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher Yi Fuxian said the censuses China carries out every 10 years are “seriously overestimated” in an effort to match official estimates. The annual data should be corrected with the census data, he said.
After the election, registered voters in Milwaukee County and Madison’s Dane County were surveyed about why they didn’t cast a ballot. Eleven percent cited the voter ID law and said they didn’t have an acceptable ID; of those, more than half said the law was the “main reason” they didn’t vote. According to the study’s author, University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Kenneth Mayer, that finding implies that between 12,000 and 23,000 registered voters in Madison and Milwaukee—and as many as 45,000 statewide—were deterred from voting by the ID law. “We have hard evidence there were tens of thousands of people who were unable to vote because of the voter ID law,” he said.
It was once easier for unions to influence how their members voted, because unions played a bigger role in their social lives, said Katherine Cramer, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin.”But that’s a thing of the past in Wisconsin, as elsewhere,” she said.
“Comparing crime rates between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born US citizens in Texas, opens new tab” by Michael Light, sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and two other researchers.
The 2020 study was published in the peer-reviewed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.• The report, which used data from the Texas Department of Public Safety between 2012-2018, found a lower felony arrest rate for immigrants in the U.S. illegally compared to legal immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens and no evidence of increasing criminality among immigrants.
“You look at some of the cost of necessities — like rent, food, things like that — those things have been going up and they are felt much harder by medium and low income households,” says Steven Deller, a professor of agricultural and applied economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
A dog’s typical body temperature is about 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Maria Verbrugge, a clinical instructor of veterinary medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. Once their temperature exceeds 102.5, she says, that’s too hot, and “104 is a danger zone.”
And, alarmingly, Americans are now much more comfortable with the idea of political violence. A 2021 study by Johns Hopkins University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that 20 percent of Republicans and 13 percent of Democrats felt that violence was warranted in the current political climate.
Scientists are more equipped than ever before to make decisions about evacuations, development and other measures using computer systems that can predict the damage a certain storm will inflict, noted Shane Hubbard, a research scientist at the University of Wisconsin.
University of Wisconsin-Madison journalism professor Michael Wagner joins LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall to discuss the main topics hovering over next week’s Republican National Convention.
“Wisconsin is one of the handful of states that has flipped back and forth between the last two presidential elections, so for a party that’s concerned about winning the Electoral College, this is a state where they would naturally look,” explained Barry Burden, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Similarly, a study from the University of Wisconsin, based on Texas data, found that U.S.-born citizens have substantially higher criminal rates than immigrants who are in the U.S. unlawfully: They are over two times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes and over four times more likely to be arrested for property crimes.
The debate, rather than helping Biden reset the race against Trump, confirmed voters’ preestablished fears about him, said Allison Prasch, a professor of rhetoric who researches presidential communications at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.“The president is a symbol,” she said, adding that Americans often look to the president as a mirror to reflect on their hopes and their fears.
Non-white voters are more than four times more likely to lack a current ID than their white counterparts. One study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that voter ID in Wisconsin discouraged up to 23,000 people in Milwaukee and Dane counties from voting in the 2016 election.
