Two of the people in the group were Wisconsin Badgers. Of course two of them were Wisconsin Badgers. It’s basically a federal law that any good bachelor party needs at least one Wisconsin Badger.
Hilary Knight was “crushed and heartbroken” after that come-from-ahead loss. “There was definitely an I-don’t-know-if-I-can-go-another-four-years kind of feeling,” she told NBC Sports’ Nick Zaccardi last year. Knight, who was a college star at the University of Wisconsin, had thought at one point that she wasn’t even going to make it to Sochi. She’d gone to Boston to train for the games, she told Fox Sports, and ended up calling her mom “bawling crying because my funding essentially wasn’t enough to live out here.
Although still in high school, VanDommelen has logged hundreds of hours in a lab headed by biomedical engineer Melissa Skala at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The experience has sent the teenager down a career path that will probably include many more hours at the bench. “At first, I wasn’t sure that research was something that I wanted to do in my future,” VanDommelen says. “But after all of the positive experiences that I’ve had, I definitely want to continue this.”

These Republican political scientists probably aren’t your normal Republicans, however. Although there is no reliable polling data that I’m aware of on Republican political scientists and their vote choice in 2016, I decided to take a look at how the precincts around some college campuses voted in the 2016 Republican presidential primary. I did so to get an idea of how these political scientists might have voted. Specifically, I looked at the precincts around Harvard University (Cambridge), the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa), University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), University of Texas (Austin) and the University of Wisconsin (Madison).
At the time, his brother Hans was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin on a Fulbright Scholarship. Hans urged him to move to Madison for advanced courses to enhance his chances for a career in medical research. Dr. Blobel did so, and earned a doctorate in oncology at Wisconsin in 1967.

Sarah Nurse tallied 76 goals and 61 assists in 150 games for the University of Wisconsin and could be one of Canada’s key scoring weapons at the Games.
The first sex toys date from the Ice Age, yet selling them is still illegal in Alabama today. Throughout history, sex toys have been more than just objects, writes Hallie Lieberman, who has a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in sex toy history and is the author of Buzz: A Stimulating History of the Sex Toy (Pegasus Books). They’re a reflection of our approval, or fear, toward sexuality, and our attempts to control it.
The same advice probably holds for Lieberman’s book, which is based on her doctoral dissertation for the University of Wisconsin and picks up the subject a very, very long time ago.

While in graduate school in mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I took a logic course from David Griffeath. The class was fun. Griffeath brought a playfulness and openness to problems. Much to my delight, about a decade later, I ran into him at a conference on traffic models. During a presentation on computational models of traffic jams, his hand went up. I wondered what Griffeath—a mathematical logician—would have to say about traffic jams. He did not disappoint. Without even a hint of excitement in his voice, he said: ‘If you are modeling a traffic jam, you should just keep track of the non-cars.’

Those who loved “The Force Awakens” might buy the Star Wars edition, for example, while University of Wisconsin Badgers might display a copy of Wisconsinopoly atop their bookcases. But these versions still expect players to follow the rules, making the cheaters edition one of its more radical spin offs.

To determine the states where residents report getting the most and least sleep, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the share of adults in every state who get less than seven hours of sleep. These figures were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The share of adults in each state reporting frequent mental distress was compiled by County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute joint program using 2014 CDC data.

From there, Johnson and her husband enrolled in classes at Cornell University, the University of Arizona, and the University of Wisconsin to further their knowledge. They are also members at a number of local and international groups and associations on aquaponics and farming.
A few years ago, in a laboratory at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, I walked into a mostly dark room, with a single light illuminating a plastic cup. Within the cup were dozens of tiny white blobs, each smaller than a pea. They were baby Hawaiian bobtail squid, and they were adorable. Their diminutive arms trailed behind them as they bobbed in the water, and the pigment cells that would eventually allow their adult selves to change color gave their infant faces a freckled appearance.
