MADISON, Wis. The search for a Barry Alvarez’s replacement has begun.
Alvarez announced announced his retirement Tuesday after more than 30 years with the university. He spent 17 of those years as athletic director. Now, a nine-member committee, chaired by UW Athletic Board Chair Peter Miller, will conduct the search for Alvarez’s replacement.
“We look forward to a robust and extensive search to identify the best candidate to lead the UW Athletic Department forward,” Miller said.
University officials said a new director of athletics could be hired by this summer.
UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank said Alvarez’s replacement “should be able to continue his legacy of success and make our alumni and fans across the state proud.”

OAK BROOK, Ill. - Body composition information derived from routine chest CTs can provide important information on the overall health of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including their risk of all-cause mortality, according to a study published in
Radiology.
COPD is a group of chronic, progressive lung diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis that affect about 30 million people in the United States alone. It is frequently associated with obesity and sarcopenia, a loss of muscle mass and strength. Obesity is associated with lower mortality in patients with COPD.

OAK BROOK, Ill. - Screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) reduces the rate of interval breast cancers compared to screening with digital mammography, according to a study published in
Radiology. The study adds to a growing body of evidence supporting DBT as a breast cancer screening tool with important advantages over mammography.
DBT works by capturing a series of X-ray images of the breast from different angles. Previous research has shown that it has a higher sensitivity for breast cancer detection than digital mammography.
Palm had served as a key member of President
Barack Obama‘s administration, as senior counselor to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from 2014 until 2017, overseeing the operational agenda for the public health and human services agencies with more than 60,000 employees. She was also a senior adviser to the White House Domestic Policy Council during implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Before this, she had worked five years as a health policy adviser to then-Sen.
But that wasn’t good enough for the Republican-dominated Wisconsin State Senate, which delayed the approval of her nomination for two years. “It just boggles my mind how some really quality people are just left hanging like this,” Evers complained in December 2020 of the endless delay by the Senate, which refused to approve the appointment of Palm and two other cabinet secretaries.
