For as long as life has existed, everything alive has slept. Surely, the purpose of something as essential as sleep is fully understood in the scientific community.

Cancer is a very difficult illness to treat and many people die from it despite tireless efforts by clinical teams. The UW Carbone Cancer Center has taken a progressive step towards a more effective treatment option for adult lymphoma with the recently FDA-certified CAR T-cell treatment. UW Carbone previously made a headline last August with Kymriah, a similar CAR T-cell therapy for young adults with relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia.

In 1967, the citizens of Earth were treated to a fantastical image: the first photograph ever showing Earth and its swirling white clouds with the moon in the same frame. This photograph, taken by NASA’s Application Technology Satellite I, was made possible through a collaboration with UW-Madison professor Verner E. Suomi, who became known as the “Father of Satellite Meteorology.”

The view from the top of the hill is surprisingly wooded — a restored prairie criss-crossed with snowy trails slopes down into a forest, which Drake says is a favorite haunt of the neighborhood turkeys. The only orienting landmarks are the UW Hospital towers to the east, which glint gold in the sunrise.

At the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy, unique research outside of traditional medicine is taking place.

If you had to name something as ubiquitous as the air we breathe in, it would be plastic. From cheap soda bottles to the shopping baskets in the market, plastic is essential to our lives. However, it’s also devastating for being non-renewable in large quantities. One of the researchers trying to solve that problem is Ali Hussain Motagamwala, a graduate student working under James Dumesic, a professor of chemical and biological engineering, with funding provided by the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center.
