This in no way meant to be funny. Take my arguments how you will, but whatever you do, don’t chuckle whatsoever, or I’ll get violently angry. I think aliens are totally real. And by God (does it make sense to use Him/Her in this context?), you will not convince me otherwise.
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,
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,
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,
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are conducting groundbreaking research on “lake mixing” as a tool to control fish species composition.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a method to more efficiently convert biomass into high-demand chemicals and energy-dense fuels.
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,
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.
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.
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.
