The Madison School District plans to add them to its policy this year. UW-Madison allows e-cigarettes but plans to re-evaluate the issue this year.

Noted: Research by the psychologists Chris S. Hulleman of the University of Virginia and Judith Harackiewicz of the University of Wisconsin suggests that for most of us, whether we find something interesting is largely a matter of whether we find it personally valuable.

There?s no doubt about that.”
Quoted: ?We hope to create a toolkit of phytochromes that can eventually be used to control agriculture ? how plants grow, when they flower, when they die,? said Richard Vierstra, a plant geneticist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who described the phytochrome?s structure in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Quoted: Sara Goldrick-Rab, a professor of educational policy studies and sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, pushed for financial aid policies that take into account the greater reliance on student loans among African-American students ? a reality she attributed to estimated Black-White wealth gaps that show White families have anywhere from eight to 20 times as much wealth as Black families.

Quoted: One difference between the dairy program and home or auto insurance is that most people don?t know when they will have a car accident or home fire, but dairy farmers often have some warning of a milk glut or spike in feed prices, said Mark Stephenson, director of the Center for Dairy Profitability at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Quoted: ?He?s popular among Democrats, wildly so, and so he can really be useful for generating excitement there, but he?s also disliked strongly among Republicans,? says Barry Burden, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

They “know” when they?re being touched, Simon Gilroy, a professor of botany at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Live Science.
Quoted: “The interesting thing is that [executive orders] do have a legal status that is all other things equal is equal to a statute, permitting and prohibiting certain sorts of things, but the consequences for violating them are unclear,” Kenneth Mayer, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, told Ars.
The real challenge right now, says Alta Charo, professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is stopping the current outbreak using available methods.

In rural Washington State, a local restaurant owner, who runs the kind of place where retirees linger over scrambled eggs and parents feed their children hamburgers, proudly told Anna Haley-Lock, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, how he avoided overpaying his workers. He set a rule that labor costs could equal no more than twenty-one per cent of sales each day; about half of that sum could be spent on front-of-the-house staff, and half on those in the back. Every half hour, the owner and his managers review an Excel spreadsheet with the latest totals. ?The labor percentage can?t exceed twenty-nine per cent at three P.M., or it?s unlikely to drop to twenty-one per cent? by the end of the day, the owner told Haley-Lock. ?At that point, managers know to ask some folks to go home.?
Quoted: The real challenge right now, says Alta Charo, professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is stopping the current outbreak using available methods.

I?m not saying that?s unimportant, but it?s not the most important thing.?
Quoted: Thongchai Winichakul, a professor of Southeast Asian history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says the junta is harnessing disdain for politicians and a yearning, among some Thais, for virtuous authoritarianism.
