A satellite image from Oct. 27 showing the low pressure system (circled in red) as it moves down from Alaska. The disturbance would eventually pull Sandy (labeled) back towards the east coast.
Thanks to satellite imagery done in part by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison through the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, people along the mid-Atlantic coast were prepared for the worst when Superstorm Sandy made landfall Oct. 29.
A recent report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology projects a shortfall of one million college graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) over the next decade. Approximately five to six of every 10 students that begin in a STEM major will switch majors to a non-STEM field before graduation.
Dear Mr. Scientist,
Pracheil shows off a paddlefish she caught on the Mississippi River during the study. Individual states currently control the regulation of this species, someting Pracheil claims needs to change.
Freshwater fish migrate, but we do not know where and why.
Most students could not imagine working on a school project for more than 10 hours straight. However, approximately 60 University of Wisconsin-Madison students, ranging from freshmen to masters, competed in a Facebook-sponsored hackathon Friday and Saturday of last week.
Dear Mr. Scientist,
Nobel Prize-winning scientist and University of Utah professor Mario Capecchi shared stories and advice from his career as a molecular biologist with students and faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Monday.
Sunday afternoon, in the midst of a good slate of National Football League games, millions of people were glued to the television or a computer screen. Instead of pigskin and fantasy football, though, we watched history.
Among the books and binders in her office in the Mechanical Engineering building, associate professor Heidi-Lynn Ploeg’s shelves are filled with bones. She pulls out a thin cardboard sleeve, and inside are dozens of mouse femurs. Each one of these leg bones is shorter than the length of a fingernail.
Simulation of an event captured by CMS in 2012 showing the characteristics expected from the decay of a Higgs boson. The Higgs boson decays into a pair of Z bosons, which both decay further. One Z boson decays into a pair of electrons, the green lines, and the other into a pair of muons, the red lines.
I am no stranger to Chamberlain’s white walls or garish fluorescent lighting. But until recently, I never noticed the ‘No Bosons Allowed’ sign above the Physics club lounge on the second floor. Until recently, the word boson meant nothing to me at all. Now it represents the heart of all matter.
A new study suggests the diminishing ice cover in the arctic might be playing an important role in the weather patterns Wisconsin experiences.
There is a new scientific field in town, known as soundscape ecology. The field works to understand the noise heard in a particular ecosystem, what it says about the ecosystem and how it affects animals.
The concept of being a grown-up terrifies me. I’m not too concerned about moving out of my parents’ house or having to work 40 (okay, probably more than 40) hours per week. It’s a fear of heightened expectations—knowing my actions can’t be cushioned forever.
University of Wisconsin-Madison hydrogeologist and professor of geology Jean Bahr was recently appointed to the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board by President Obama.
