Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ

<p>A new study appearing this week in the scientific journal eLIFE about the rapid evolution of small viruses that infect bacteria includes 59 Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ co-authors, all of whom conducted research for the paper as freshmen.</p>

<p>A new Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ study involving some 40,000 people indicates that social and psychological problems caused by drinking generally trump physically hazardous drinking behaviors when it comes to overall mortality rates.</p>

<p>Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ astronomers, who helped design and build instruments for and have made hundreds of observations using the Hubble Space Telescope since its launch, are celebrating the observatory’s 25th anniversary.</p>

<p>An international team of scientists is calling for urgent and rigorous monitoring of temperature patterns in mountain regions after compiling evidence that high elevations could be warming faster than previously thought.</p>

<p>In another advance at the far frontiers of timekeeping by National Institute of Standards and Technology and Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ researchers, the latest modification of a record-setting strontium atomic clock has achieved precision and stability levels that now mean the clock would neither gain nor lose one second in some 15 billion years—roughly the age of the universe.</p>

<p>Two faculty members at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ have been named 2015 President’s Teaching Scholars, a systemwide designation that recognizes Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØeducators who skillfully integrate teaching and research at an exceptional level. This year's scholars are Roseanna Neupauer, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Faculty Director for Civil Engineering, Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering and Valerie Otero, Ph.D., Professor of Science Education, School of Education.</p>

<p>The Offices of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the Dean of the Graduate School are pleased to extend congratulations to the three winners of the 2015 Distinguished Research Lecturer. The Lectureship is among the highest honors bestowed by the faculty on a fellow faculty member at CU-Boulder. This year's winners are Zoya Popovic from the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, Diane McKnight from the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and Douglas Seals from the Department of Integrative Physiology.</p>

<p>A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ and North Carolina State University-led team has produced the first atlas of airborne microbes across the continental U.S., a feat that has implications for better understanding health and disease in humans, animals and crops.</p>

<p>An experiment led by the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ arrived at the International Space Station today and will look into the fluid dynamics of liquid crystals that may lead to benefits both on Earth and in space.</p>

<p>NASA’s MESSENGER mission to Mercury carrying an $8.7 million Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ instrument is slated to run out of fuel and crash into the planet in the coming days after a wildly successful, four-year orbiting mission chock full of discoveries.</p>
