Kudos
- Christopher Picard of CU Boulder is one of 21 students nationwide to win support from United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation.
- Inaugural group of proposals was ‘universally strong and worthy,’ Dean Glen Krutz notes.
- A $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation will allow CU Boulder researchers to better understand how complex species interactions affect natural ecosystems.
- Assistant professor Cassandra Brooks has received an NSF CAREER award, the organization recently announced.
- CU Boulder’s Orit Peleg will use the support to launch a novel, interdisciplinary probe of the physics of firefly communications.
- Two young faculty scientists at CU Boulder are among seven Colorado researchers who have won $1.41 million in total funding from the Boettcher Foundation’s Webb-Waring Awards program.
- Marcos Stuernagel, assistant professor of theatre, and colleagues at HemiPress are changing the ways academic work is published and performance is archived in the theatre and performance-related fields.
- Adam Bradley is a study in contrasts: a hip-hop expert who grew up in Salt Lake City, dissecting the literary devices of Shakespeare in one breath and Slick Rick in the next. He teaches in English, but his RAP Lab is in the chemistry building.
- You have to thank Carol Burnett for Michelle Ellsworth’s art. At least in part. Ellsworth, associate professor of dance at the University of Colorado Boulder, has been captivated by dance since she was 7, when she first saw the Ernest Flat Dancers on The Carol Burnett Show. In between the show’s segments, jazz-dance sequences functioned as segues. “I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh. That’s what I want to do for a living.’”
- Melanie Sarah Adams had a hunch: Maybe today’s conventional agricultural practices not only degrade the Earth’s environment and threaten future food security but also produce nutritionally imbalanced foods that harm human health.
