<p>A small beach ball-sized satellite designed and built by a team of �鶹��Ѱ����� students to better understand how atmospheric drag can affect satellite orbits is now slated for launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Sept. 15.</p>

<p>The �鶹��Ѱ����� today announced the opening of an Office of Industry Collaboration and the naming of Caroline Himes as director.</p>

<p>A person’s ability to delay gratification—forgoing a smaller reward now for a larger reward in the future—may depend on how trustworthy the person perceives the reward-giver to be, according to a new study by researchers at the �鶹��Ѱ�����.</p>

<p>A white-rumped bumblebee that has been in steep decline across its native range in the western United States and Canada appears to be making a comeback on the Colorado Front Range.</p>
<p>A survey of bumblebee populations carried out largely by �鶹��Ѱ����� undergraduates in undisturbed patches of prairieland and in mountain meadows above campus has turned up more than 20 rare western bumblebees, known scientifically as <em>Bombus occidentalis. </em></p>

<p>If the distance and difficulty of Colorado’s many organized bicycling events is any indication, a flat, 100-mile bicycle ride is not, for many riders, quite tough enough.</p>
<p>That’s one reason the 11th annual Buffalo Bicycle Classic’s longest route will go farther and climb higher than any of the event’s courses so far. The “Buff Epic” will span 110 miles and ascend a total of 6,250 feet. It retraces much of the most mountainous section of Stage 6 of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge.</p>

<p>The fact that taller people also tend to be slightly smarter is due in roughly equal parts to two phenomena—the same genes affect both traits and taller people are more likely than average to mate with smarter people and vice versa—according to a study led by the �鶹��Ѱ�����. </p>
<p>The study did not find that environmental factors contributed to the connection between being taller and being smarter, both traits that people tend to find attractive.</p>
