Case for Solving Childcare: Public Investment Has Returns for Children, Workforce, and Community
Jan 24, 2024 12:10 PM
Early care and education is foundational for our youngest children while allowing parents to maintain meaningful, gainful employment. Meanwhile, despite serving as the “workforce behind the workforce,” the child care sector has suffered from decades of no public investment, prompting challenges that were further exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic. Importantly, Wisconsin’s women’s labor force participation also has dropped to historically low rates last seen in the 1980s. Wisconsin Early Childhood Association Executive Director RUTH SCHMIDT will give a child care landscape overview and detail a series of local and state efforts to address these widespread challenges. Importantly, the presentation will make the case that short-term initiatives to address the crisis are merely stopgaps that need to be complemented by advocacy for significant investment of state revenue. |

Clearing the Air: What Can Wisconsin Learn from Marijuana Laws in Other States?
Feb 07, 2024 12:10 PM
In 2023, Minnesota became the third of Wisconsin's four neighboring states to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes, after Illinois and Michigan did so prior to the COVID-19 pandemic; Wisconsin is also one of just 12 states to not have a comprehensive medical marijuana program. ARI BROWN is senior research associate for the Wisconsin Policy Forum, and his presentation will center around two reports produced by the Wisconsin Policy Forum: the first - written in 2023 - looks at how the rollout of recreational marijuana has gone in Michigan and Illinois given their adjacency to Wisconsin. The second - written in 2019 - looked at the intricacies of medical marijuana laws in place around the country at that time and considered questions of eligibility, access, and taxation to arrive at considerations for Wisconsin's state-level policymakers. What does access to marijuana in Wisconsin look like today, and what could it look like in the future? |

The Grammar of English Spelling: 5 Words, 5 Lessons, 0 Phonics
Mar 06, 2024 12:10 PM
ANJA WANNER is the Enid H. Anderson Professor of English at UW-Madison. A syntactician by training, she teaches classes on the structure and history of English and grammar in use. She has published five books on topics like the use of the passive voice in scientific writing and the relationship between syntax and genre. Her favorite word is ‘serendipity.’ In her Rotary presentation, she will illustrate that we cannot understand English spelling if we believe that it is mainly about matching sounds to letters. She will discuss how grammar, history, politics, language contact and human error are contributing to the joys and vexations tied to the English spelling system. |

A Promising Future: Local Stem Cell Research Holds Key to Longevity and Disease Prevention
May 15, 2024 12:10 PM
JangoBio is testing the regenerative power of stem cell technologies to restore hormone balance in humans. This technology provides a personalized medicine approach to increase healthy longevity while reducing the demand on our overburdened healthcare system. Dr. CRAIG ATWOOD will present a brief overview of how sex hormones regulate aging, and how the dysregulation of hormone balance at menopause in women, and andropause in men, leads to the development of age-related diseases. With this knowledge, he will explore the best strategies to restore hormone balance so that we can live to 150!

Can We Save the Monarch Butterfly?
May 22, 2024 12:10 PM
For almost 40 years, KAREN OBERHAUSER and her students have conducted research on several aspects of monarch butterfly ecology; this research depends on traditional lab and field techniques, as well as the contributions of a variety of audiences through participatory science. Karen will describe the amazing biology of migratory monarchs, how we can use data collected by scientists and public to understand what is driving monarch numbers, and what we can do with that information. Her take-home message will be how we can address species conservation—in our own gardens and beyond—in the face of climate and other human-driven changes. |
