A few years ago, they partnered with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to test different cover crop mixes to restore soil they grow on, which had been depleted under prior ownership.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department (UWPD) launched a one-button alert system. The new tool aims to accelerate critical emergency notifications during a deadly, active threat.

“Relative to China’s consumer market, China has a surplus of about 100 million laborers. In the past, China relied on exports to ensure employment.

For other animals, an eclipse-induced Purkinje effect may be even more intense, says Freya Mowat, an assistant professor of ophthalmology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. Birds have a fourth cone that lets them see ultraviolet light. It’s difficult to say exactly how the sudden light change during a solar eclipse would affect avian vision, Mowat, says but it’s possible that the shades of purple would be extra vivid and disorienting
