Those looking to know whether the worst of flu season has passed may be disappointed to find out that the most predictable thing about flu is that it’s unpredictable, according to Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many college students read science journal articles as a requisite for class and directed studies toward understanding experimental details. However, more often than not, most research endeavors involve a narrative about collaboration across several disciplines leading up to the discoveries published in journals.
Dear Mr. Scientist,
From cramming the night before a big test to creating month-long study plans, students utilize different study tactics to succeed in classes. But a new research study released Jan. 10 found some of students’ favorite study tactics are not beneficial, and may even hinder their learning.
It is hard to picture starfish as the thugs of the marine world. But ravenous, thorny starfish have been terrorizing and destroying Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for almost three decades.
Dear Mr. Scientist,
The University of Wisconsin-Madison named Ian Robertson as the new dean of the university’s College of Engineering Tuesday.
Mediation could change how people experience pain, recent findings by researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison reveal.
Imagine holding a state-of-the-art research laboratory in the palm of your hand. The device can go anywhere you go, and nearly anyone can operate it. What would you do with it?
Dear Mr. Scientist,
The University of Wisconsin-Madison spent the fourth-highest amount of money nationally on research for the 2011 fiscal year.

This image shows the forecasted paths of Sandy on Oct. 25 by the U.S. model run by NOAA four days prior to making landfall.
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.
