New findings indicate that what we thought we knew about the dinosaur family tree might need a major revision. We find out what has changed, and why it’s important. A program that focuses on preventing sexual assault by engaging student athletes is showing signs of success. We learn about the approach, and why it seems to be working. We also talk to a state capitol reporter about Governor Scott Walker’s proposals to get more single adults off state BadgerCare Medicaid coverage and into the workforce, including a proposal to drug test those who want BadgerCare.
