Quoted: Michele Hilmes, a professor emeritus of media and cultural studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, points out that the DVD market went a long way toward breaking language barriers by providing subtitles and dubbing. What Netflix can do that DVDs can’t is provide an instantaneous global push.
Quoted: “The novelty of the work is that they’ve fused these two proteins together to come up with a precise editing system,” said Kris Saha, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who was not involved with the work.
Noted: Dennis Dresang, a UW-Madison emeritus professor of public policy and political science, said reversing the termination could be difficult because Wall’s action in trying to circumvent the state public records law “borders on grounds for dismissal.”
Noted: According to Jill Thein-Nissenbaum, an associate professor in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a staff physical therapist for UW Athletics and Badger Sportsmedicine, said that even people who regularly exercise have this problem. She said she knows someone who was in great shape — playing indoor soccer three times a week during the winter — but on his first day back on the golf course, he was left feeling stiff and sore.
Noted: Ryan Owens, a professor of political science at University of Wisconsin-Madison and an honorary fellow at the Institute for Legal Studies, said when the court is at its usual state of nine sitting justices, the judges try hard to avoid a situation where there is a chance of a deadlock.
Dr. Patricia Téllez-Girón knows what having your world turned upside down feels like. When she moved to the U.S. after completing medical school in Mexico, she was an immigrant in a place where she couldn’t speak the language and had little money. “I was cleaning houses and caring for people and doing what all of my community has to do initially … I’ve seen discrimination and unfairness,” says Téllez-Girón, associate professor with the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “So I decided if I was able to have a position where I would be able to help others, I was going to do it.”
Noted: A University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor in Journalism Ethics, Robert Drechsel, adds that Facebook, while not necessarily a media company, has the same responsibilities like those of media outlets and should provide content that is “thorough, fair, accurate, complete, and contextual.”
Noted: Christof Koch, the president and chief scientific officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, and Giulio Tononi, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist at the University of Wisconsin, have proposed that consciousness is nearly ubiquitous in different degrees, and can be present even in nonliving arrangements of matter, to varying degrees.
Noted: Local doctors say they’re not yet advising women not to attempt getting pregnant.
“That’s really an individualized decision for each woman and her provider,” said Dr. Kathleen Antony, a UW Health gynecologist. “It’s challenging because it’s not technically here yet, so we can’t come down with terribly firm recommendations without having had cases here.”
Noted: “If it’s run by a student group, it’s a constitutionally protected ‘see you at the pole’ gathering,” said UW-Madison lecturer Shawn Peters, who studies religion and the law. But “the law is murkier if the group is not student-initiated.”
Noted: UW-Madison political science professor Barry Burden … says … If they can’t capitalize on advantageous circumstances this fall — in the context of the last six years, and with a larger turnout that typically works to their benefit — the consequences would be disastrous, Burden said. “If that were to happen, the Democratic Party would be not much more than a shell,” Burden said.
Noted: The possibility of illness varies so widely because the results assume that pathogens are always present in the manure, which isn’t usually the case, said Becky Larson, a UW-Madison professor, UW-Extension biological waste specialist in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering, and workgroup member.
The chance that those mosquitoes will transmit the virus to people in Wisconsin this year seems slim, said Susan Paskewitz, a University of Wisconsin-Madison entomologist.
Noted: Recent work by Tessa Conroy and Steven Deller of the University of Wisconsin-Madison showed that start-ups here accounted for a smaller share of job creation than in all but three states.
Noted: Political scientist Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told us that Kasich’s seven-of-10 claim is on target. But there is an important caveat, according to Burden, who said:
The recent “retirement” of one of my favorite poets of all time, Ron Wallace, from the UW–Madison English Department reawakened a personal source of civic pride: Madison as a serious poetry city. [Also mentioned: Rubén Medina, chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.]
Noted: The man credited for first bringing the figure to public attention is Alfred W. McCoy, an American historian. McCoy is an eminent professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has published extensively on the colonial and post-colonial history of state repression, the military, and policing in the Philippines.
Noted: Also, older patients, who are increasingly likely to have a directive, often get treatment from varied sources — surgeons, hospitals, nursing homes, primary physicians. That increases the odds of unaligned systems, said Dr. Irene Hamrick, who directs geriatric services in family medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Quoted: “These are fundamental studies, but these chemical transformations are at the heart of all kinds of environmental systems, related to soil, sediment, groundwater and waste water,” senior author Eric Roden, a professor of geoscience at UW-Madison, told Phys-Ed.
Quoted: “It’s clear that investors want their managers to produce good performance,” says Brian A. Hellmer, director of the Hawk Center for Applied Security Analysis at the Wisconsin School of Business. Citing figures from a CFA Institute study, he says that underperformance, more than anything else, would make investors leave their current firm or advisor (53 percent of retail investors, 60 percent of institutional investors).
Quoted: Barbara Wolfe, Ph.D., a professor of public affairs, economics, and population health services at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who wasn’t involved with the study, said environment could play a role in health as well.
University of Wisconsin Madison history professor William Jones said such arguments have initially seen success in other states, although they have ultimately fallen short when the case has been appealed. He pointed to the most recent challenge of Indiana’s right-to-work law, which was struck down, but then eventually upheld by that state’s Supreme Court.
Quoted: “Impossible to tell this early because so much depends on upcoming precipitation patterns,” Susan Paskewitz, University of Wisconsin-Madison entomology professor and mosquito expert, said in an email. “Except in the driest of years, mosquitoes are always bad somewhere in Wisconsin at some point in the season, but we can’t pinpoint those locations with much precision. There will probably be an initial peak in June of snowmelt species, again in July as the floodwater species get going and then things may settle down … or not.”
Noted: UW-Madison professor of journalism and mass communication Robert Drechsel, who specializes in First Amendment issues, said “restrictions on political calls certainly would raise a free speech issue,” but the federal do-not-call registry does not preclude tougher restrictions by the states. “I would assume that if a state operated its own do-not-call registry, it would be able to let its citizens opt out of receiving whatever types of telemarketing or robocalling it wished,” he said.
Quoted: “The truth is that white death rates are still much, much lower than they are for African-Americans,” said Bridget Catlin, senior scientist at the University of Wisconsin. “My concern is that people will think, ‘Oh, it’s whites that need to be helped.’ ”
Noted: The Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania Dutch population was made up of “church people, or fancy Dutch” associated with Lutheran and Union churches, says Mark Louden, a professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Among them, the language is pretty much gone, diluted out as children grew up, went to college and married non-Dutch-speaking people.
Noted: “Therefore, those in the Party ruling groups…will intensify repressiveness to keep the truths about system corruption revealed by the Panama Papers out of China,” says Edward Friedman, China specialist and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin in the United States. “They also will understand the Panama Papers to be another item in a supposedly endless effort of the West to undermine Communist Party rule. Ruling groups will tell the Chinese people that the Panama Papers are a Western invention aimed at making China weak and dependent on the West.”
Noted: Tim Kamp, the co-director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center, said it’s impossible to make pluripotent cells (also known as iPS cells) develop in a petri dish the way humans develop in utero—for that, and for the research on heart disease pioneered by his colleague Gail Robertson, they need fetal tissue.
Quoted: Clifton Conrad, a professor of education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the situation at Chicago State foreshadows what many small universities could experience in the coming years, as state budgets contract and less money is designated for higher education.
Quoted: “In our first couple of surveys we did already identify adult deer ticks were active,” said Dr. Susan Paskewitz, an entomologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has been studying deer ticks for more than 20 years.
Quoted: Ryan Owens, a political science professor at UW-Madison who studies the Supreme Court and judicial issues, said with a 5-2 conservative majority, justices may feel less fearful of splitting off from the “coalition” at the risk of diluting the opinion.
Quoted: “I thought it was an astounding number,” said Barry Burden of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Quoted: “This primary matters a lot for both parties,” Kathy Cramer, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in the wake of Tuesday’s election. “When you’re making a calculation whether it’s worth it to stand in line, the message you were getting this time around was yes.”
Quoted: It’s a sign that Wisconsin’s primary could be a turning point in the GOP campaign, said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin. “These past 10 days, people have tired of Donald Trump. They’ve simply reached the end of their rope with him,” said Burden, who is also director of the university’s Elections Research Center. “There really is a movement in the party now, that for whatever reason didn’t coalesce until April.”
Quoted: Connie Flanagan, associate dean in the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin, has seen it on the Madison campus. With new voter ID requirements, there was an urgency to get students registered.”The ’get out the Badger vote’ thing was this message that democracy means you have to do something,” she said. “There was really a sense of agency in the message, and a lot of it was really around how to do it. You can’t just assume you can go.”
The renewed focus on bread-and-butter Democratic principles, especially within organized labor, arrived in step with Sanders’ message, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Barry Burden, director of its Elections Research Center, told CNN.
Young Democrats have consistently flocked toward Sanders — and Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center and professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has spent enough of time working alongside college students and studying their voting patterns to have a good grasp on why that is.
Quoted: “I think the deepest concern that talk radio people have about Trump is not so much that he’s rude and will say politically incorrect things, but that they don’t buy that he’s a bona fide conservative,” says University of Wisconsin public affairs professor Donald Moynihan.

Noted: UW-Madison political science professor Barry Burden said the embrace of Cruz by the state party establishment was critical for his victory. “It’s probably a lesson for Trump himself,” Burden said. “Coming into a state and taking on the most popular leaders is not the way to win.”
Quoted: “Sanders needs to start winning by a couple of touchdowns for the media to start taking his narrative seriously,” says Michael Wagner, an elections specialist at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
Quoted: “Even when Scott Walker was battling the unions [in 2011] and 100,000 people were marching around the capitol, those were family-friendly events,” says Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. “There were massive policy disagreements, but not a lot of personal insults.”

An economist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison says other states could soon follow California’s and New York’s lead to raise the minimum wage .The two states voted Monday to gradually raise their minimum wages over the next four years to eventually reach $15 per hour. “It’s actually a pretty significant move,” said Steve Deller, a professor of agricultural and economics at UW-Madison. “Because it kind of lays the foundation for other states to start to follow-up and do the same thing.”
Quoted: “[Trump] has never worked elites in the state,” said Barry Burden, the director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Elections Research Center. “He has no endorsements, essentially, from any state legislators. He’s tried to talk to conservative talk radio earlier this week and that was a failure.”

The Wisconsin presidential primaries on Tuesday will be won by the candidates who best harness Wisconsin’s politics of resentment.
Noted: Barry Burden, a political scientist at UW-Madison, said it’s unprecedented for a presidential front-runner to come into Wisconsin and assail a governor who’s a nationally prominent member of the same party.
A life surrounded by and living in crap has its benefits—if you’re a dung beetle. That life is also a boon to livestock, us, and our planet. “By simply digging through, or tunneling through, cow patties, dung beetles aerate them and reduce methane,” said UW-Madison entomologist P.J. Liesch.
Quoted: Even if they’re not making money now, at least they can cover their out-of-pocket costs and generate some cash flow, said Bruce Jones, an agricultural economist at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Noted: University of Wisconsin-Madison finance professor Jim Johannes, who testified in favor of the bill, said it standardizes courts’ interpretation of what is required in order to sue.
“It puts a fork in what you need as evidence when you approach the courts in the pleading stage of a case,” he said. “It provides clarity for the courts. Previously, before this the courts could interpret it any way they wanted to.”
Noted: “Twenty years ago, if someone had told us that we would all have a tiny little device that tracks our information … we would’ve said, ‘That will never happen,’” said UW-Madison professor Dietram Scheufele. “Twenty years later, we all want to have it.”
University of Wisconsin-Madison finance professor Jim Johannes, who testified in favor of the bill, said in an interview that the new law “provides clarity for the courts.”
According to Barry Burden, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, it comes as little surprise that Sanders is appealing to some sections of the population.
Quoted: “I think it is incorrect to look at the data and conclude that those voters are more ignorant,” Katherine Cramer, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in an interview. “Instead, there’s a strong correlation between having a college degree or not, and your economic situation in life.”
Craig Berridge, a neurobiologist at University of Wisconsin-Madison, points out that this method only measures dopamine in real time, so wouldn’t help scientists track disorders linked to high or low levels of dopamine over a long period. “It’s probably going to be most useful in animal studies where we’re trying to understand the role of dopamine in various neural processes,” he says.
