There’s a lot of science (and a little magic) behind that perfect shade of blue. 💙

At Allen Centennial Garden, Badgers recently took part in a hands-on workshop turning homegrown indigo into vibrant tie-dye. After days of fermenting the plants, fabrics went into the vat a murky green… and emerged moments later transformed to a brilliant blue as they met the air.

What's the tick forecast this summer?
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health researchers are tracking ticks across the state to predict when and where risk is highest. By combining field data with climate and environmental data, and your submissions from the community, they’re building tools to help the people and pets of Wisconsin stay safe outdoors.

While most people dread finding a tick stuck to their clothing or skin, Johnny Uelmen is literally beating the bushes for them.

From day one, veterinary students start building clinical skills: https://news.wisc.edu/hands-on-from-day-one/

Through the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine's OnWard curriculum, hands-on learning begins early — growing confidence and real-world experience with patients large and small.

Maggie Piel, a first-year student from Watertown, expected to spend much of her first year learning basic animal handling. Instead, she quickly found herself practicing injections, performing comprehensive physical exams and working directly with animals.

“I definitely feel like I have more of the building blocks as a veterinarian so that I will be good right out of school, rather than having to take a couple years to get into the groove,” Piel says.
