Spring 2008 Volume 109, Number 1 WISCONSIN Spring 2008 Volume 109, Number 1 WISCONSIN Reluctant Star 18 The UW scientist who first brought stem cells into the scientific spotlight — a discovery that sparked a volatile debate of political and medical ethics — doesn’t seek fame for himself. So when you are the go-to guy for everybody who wants access to James Thomson, a man who’d much rather be in the lab than in the media’s glare, you learn to say no more often than you’d like. By Terry Devitt ’78, MA’85 Seriously Funny 22 Some thought that Ben Karlin ’93 was walking away from success when he left his job as executive producer for TV’s The Daily 18 Show and The Colbert Report. But, as he explains in this conversation with On Wisconsin, he was simply charting a comedic path that includes a new book and his own production company. By Jenny Price ’96 Can of Worms 28 Graduate students have more to worry about than grades — there’s also research, funding, and, as the students working in one lab discovered, their mentor’s ethics. While PhD candidate Amy Hubert x’08 aims to overcome scandal and put the finishing touches on her degree, the UW struggles to protect the students who will create the future of science. 22 By John Allen INSIDE Campus on $5 a Day LETTERS 4 34 If a bill featuring Abe’s face is burning a hole in your pocket, SIFTING & WINNOWING 9 you’d be amazed to learn what it can buy on campus.

MAIN EVENTS 64 FLASHBACK 66 By David McKay Wilson Cover: James Thomson, the UW-Madison professor of anatomy who first coaxed stem cells from human embryos in 1998, is shown here with UW molecular biologist Junying Yu. A study led by Yu in Thomson’s lab, announced in November 2007, achieved genetic reprogramming of human skin cells to create cells indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells. “It’s going to completely change the field,” Thomson predicted of the latest finding. Photo by Bryce Richter FLASHBACK COURTESY OF UW-MADISON ARCHIVES The Devil and Dean Middleton Ben Karlin ’93 may be the latest Badger to make it big in comedy (see story on page 22), but he certainly wasn’t the first to engage in funny business. As this picture proves, even the UW’s doctors-in-training spent time operat- ing on the funny bone, perhaps investigating whether laughter is, indeed, the best medicine. The natty looking fellow in the straw boater is William Middleton, who was on the faculty of the UW medical school from 1912 to 1955 and was its dean for the last twenty of those years, making him perhaps the most influential doctor in university history. His “fellow tormentors,” according to the caption that ran along- side the photo in the 1952 Badger yearbook, are med students Eugene Sullivan ’50, MD’53 (as St. Peter), Harry Watson Jr. ’50, MD’53 (as the devil), and James Fitzsimmons MD’53 (whose smock, for some reason, reads “Palmer School of Chiropractic, 1903”). It isn’t clear exactly what’s going on here, but it seems to conflict with the reputation Middleton left behind of a top-notch clinician with an imposing personality and strict attention to propriety — he’d been known to bawl out student nurses if their caps were on crooked or their stocking seams weren’t straight. Middleton was the medical school’s second dean, following founder Charles Bardeen, who served from 1907 to 1935. The school has had ten deans in the five decades since Middleton’s retirement. Now known as the School of Medicine and Public Health, the institution began celebrating its hundredth anniversary last fall.

Represented here is environmental history’s great breadth, in terms of geographical scope (Brazil, the Atlantic world, Europe, global, Africa and New Zealand); topics (animal studies, biography, climatological analysis, energy and waste); and temporal span (from the early modern to the contemporary period). The first article, ‘Nature’s revenge: War on the wilderness during the opening of Brazil’s “Last Western Frontier”’, explores the ongoing trope of the frontier and ‘frontiersman’ in the environmental history of twentieth-century Amazonia, Brazil. The author, Sandro Dutra e Silva, does so by skilfully analysing the creation of the heroic image of the road-building engineer Bernardo Sayão, and his deployment by the state to underpin its aims of developing Amazonia.
