A box of Wisconsin-grown cranberries with a drawing of a cranberry marsh
Received a box of beautiful, Wisconsin cranberries today, so Thanksgiving cannot be too far away (and also cranberry biscotti)
Roost ring……I learned something new!!
Check out this fantastic story on how UW–Madison’s Agricultural Research Stations help farmers seeking innovations to improve their operations. Across the state, CALS researchers are focusing on the problems and opportunities for farmers. @uwmadison.bsky.social

Great to see two states in the Rural Partnerships Institutes get together!
Betul’s work is fascinating, and her story as a scientist is inspirational.
Very nice recognition of my postdoc, Catherine!
Congrats to UW- Madison’s Catherine!
Screenshot of the Agriculture Tools Dashboard, with buttons for seeing chill hours, a weather forecast, growing degree days, soil conditions, evapotranspiration, drought conditions, animal comfort, and pest/disease models. A map shows the current drought outlook and a tile shows the weather conditions for Madison.
Today is #NationalAgDay!
We're big supporters of Wisconsin's growers and ag community.
This spring, we'll be launching a new web app for our farmers and growers that will give them new tools to make decisions to support their crops and livestock!
Here's a preview.
Our Agriculture Tools dashboard will have weather forecasts from NWS; the Drought Monitor supported by NOAA and the USDA; and other data produced by NOAA and NWS offices.
These data expand upon our measurement capabilities to help our farmers and growers make better decisions.
New name, same great program.
The Department of Life Sciences Communication has answered the growing demand for experts in science communication with the newly renamed Science Communication PhD program.

If my weather legacy is that I lead the development of one statewide mesonet and inspired another state to develop one, well that’s a pretty good legacy.
For all UW-Madison Badgers.....Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from CALS news.cals.wisc.edu/2024/12/23/h...
A new study found that we share parts of our microbiome with people in our social networks, beyond family members.
Dr. @nachristakis.bsky.social joins us to discuss the research and how scientists can identify your friends—just by looking at your poop.
Besides the important uses discussed here, if you need data students can use to, e.g. see how soil moisture and temperature interact in soils in Driftless Area loess vs. the Central Sands, Wisconet is a great place to look.
Pixie from Wisconsin says hello
This is something I really should have known about!
there has emerged a counter-world in which facts & procedures long-established in our world of education/science/"law" (like public health measures involving vaccines, pasteurization) are rejected for purely political reasons; as if these are whimsical matters in which you can "believe" or not.
