Led by Prof. Kyoung-Shin Choi, the team’s work is already attracting attention from global car & battery manufacturers.

New Badgers incoming! 📦 Whether you're joining us from across the globe or across the street, a giant welcome to UW-Madison. And kudos to our dedicated housing staff and student volunteers who keep move-in running like clockwork. 🦡 #WIWelcome

The Simulation Based Engineering Lab uses complex modeling software to analyze how vehicles will interact with different terrain.

In Beaver Dam Friday, I met Boomer — one of many K-9 officers supported by @uwmadison.bsky.social Vet Med Law Enforcement Support Program. Grateful to Beaver Dam PD for the visit and their service, & to Dean Jon Levine, Rep. Born and Sen. Jagler for backing these vital partnerships across Wisconsin.

Grateful to Mercury Marine for hosting Dean Ranjan and me in Fond du Lac to showcase their cutting-edge work in marine propulsion. Impressive to see how they (including engineering alumni) are making an impact — and to explore how @uwmadison.bsky.social & industry partners can grow together.

From Ireland to UW, William Campbell’s journey was full of unexpected turns. A lucky encounter with parasitology led him to develop ivermectin—a drug that not only treats heartworm but also prevents river blindness, saving millions. His work earned him a Nobel Prize. Sometimes, luck leads to legacy.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Cecil Garvin, a highly respected Ho-Chunk elder, teacher, and honorary Badger. His incredible legacy lives on through his dedication to education, public service and to preserving the Ho-Chunk language and culture for generations to come.

Jim Lovell x’50 was legendary. I join our Badgers, the nation and world in mourning his passing. What a stellar legacy, as a pioneering astronaut and a calm and courageous leader as Commander of Apolllo 13 — and throughout his life. What Badger spirit!

Truly amazing Badger research: a @uwmadison.bsky.social School of Medicine and Public Health clinical trial that may help kidney donors live without daily immunosuppressants! As a living kidney donor to my father, I know how life-enhancing this could be for people like him and so many others.

Excited that we're launching a new Entrepreneurship Hub, poised to spur even more innovation, discovery, and economic opportunity for our state. The search for its inaugural director has begun!

Physician shortages in rural areas are a growing concern in Wisconsin. UW–Madison’s Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine trains doctors committed to practicing in small-town communities. One Wisconsin. #OnWisconsin

Using computer simulations, UW–Madison mechanical engineers have uncovered why robotic space rovers keep getting stuck. Their research tracks how a rover will traverse extraterrestrial surfaces in low gravity to prevent it from faltering.

What does it take to bring a new drug to market? Strategic thinking, clinical insight, and innovation, which led our PharmD students to place #6 out of 70+ teams in the Industry #Pharmacists Organization 2025 case competition, earning the School’s highest score yet! pharmacy.wisc.edu/2025/06/06/p...

Last year, the National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison gained a high-powered, superconducting, 1.1 GHz magnet. Researchers have further optimized data collection on the magnet. "Now...we can unlock more of the magnet's capability," says scientist Songlin Wang biochem.wisc.edu/2025/07/24/r...
