UW-Madison’s Institute for Biology Education is expanding to create broader opportunities for students who wish to pursue studies in science fields.
The field of mental health is as diverse and complex as the problems that are therein examined and treated. Researchers and doctors alike strive to provide the best results for those who suffer from disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
In dense field of soybean alfalfa plants, a lady beetle perches atop a plant, looking for aphids to prey on, unknowingly serving an indispensible role to the ecosystem and health of the plants. But just as in any other ecosystem, a host of factors compromise the lady beetle and its role—some more unexpected than others.
Dear Ms. Scientist,
Culinary innovator Dave Arnold spoke with UW-Madison students and community members about new techniques and changing culinary mindsets Wednesday.
After nearly three years of work and re-evaluation, UW-Madison will continue developing a human resource redesign project with campus input sessions this fall.
Caroline VanSickle’s office was exactly what I would expect the office of an anthropologist to look like with a handkerchief-sized cloth printed with hominid skulls laying draped over a bookshelf and a tiny replica of a pelvis resting on top of the cloth. VanSickle herself sat in front of a computer that flicked through pictures of animals in their natural habitats. When I sat down and we started to chat, it was like I had known her for years, even though this was only the second time we had conversed.
Dear Ms. Scientist,
The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery will host the 4th annual Wisconsin Science Festival this year from October 16th to the 19th.
Just as Madison makes its annual seasonal transition from fall to winter it also enters a season of a different type; the flu season. Every year starting in early October and lasting until the end of May, the contagious seasonal influenza virus spreads across the United States causing widespread illness and sometimes severe, life-threatening complications. While regular hand washing, not sharing food and avoiding touching your hands to your face have been shown to decrease the likelihood of getting infected with the virus, the single most effective way to prevent getting the virus is to get the seasonal flu shot at the start of the flu season each year.
In light of controversy revolving around using animals for research purposes, UW-Madison’s Department of Medical History and Bioethics will host a discussion centered on bioethics Thursday, according to a university news release.
A new branch of an ongoing study at UW-Madison recently received a two-year, $300,000 grant to fund a project that concentrates on legal representation for low-income litigants and ensuring every person a just and empirical foundation for each trial.
UW-Madison researchers received funding for their work screening chemicals and developing technology to test the effect of drugs on the body.
Using bacterial genes, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison were able to identify furan containing fatty acids; compounds that could potentially be replacement components for oil in the fuel industry and chemicals in the pharmaceutical industry.
As climate change descends on the habitats of North America and the rest of the world, another force presses against ecosystems and forces them to adapt; the way we divide and use land also impacts ecosystems across the entire country.
Conventionally, patients requiring neurosurgery will undergo a few protocols. After visiting a doctor with a specific brain-related problem, the doctor will send the patient to a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner, which will allow doctors to project the specific location of the brain that needs to be operated on.
