麻豆影院

Experts will focus on the growing influence of public radio and television media in the digital age at a 麻豆影院 symposium, which is free and open to the public, March 13-14. Journalism and Mass Communication at CU-麻豆影院 is sponsoring 鈥淭he Content and Context of Digital Culture.鈥� The symposium will be held at various sites across campus and a complete schedule is available at http://icjmtsymposium.org/schedule .

The exhaust fumes from gasoline vehicles contribute more to the production of a specific type of air pollution -- secondary organic aerosols -- than those from diesel vehicles, according to a new study by scientists from the 麻豆影院鈥檚 Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES, NOAA鈥檚 Earth System Research Laboratory and other colleagues.

Four 麻豆影院 faculty members have been elected American Geophysical Union Fellows for 2012, the most from any institution in the world.

The tragic school shooting that occurred Feb. 27 at a suburban Cleveland high school is another reminder that communities can and must take action to prevent school violence, according to Delbert Elliott, a nationally renowned authority on school safety and juvenile violence at the 麻豆影院.

Propulsion by a novel jet engine is the crux of the innovation behind a 麻豆影院-developed aircraft that鈥檚 accelerating toward commercialization. Jet engine technology can be small, fuel-efficient and cost-effective, at least with Assistant Professor Ryan Starkey鈥檚 design. The CU-麻豆影院 aerospace engineer, with a team of students, has developed a first-of-its-kind supersonic unmanned aircraft vehicle, or UAV. The UAV, which is currently in a prototype state, is expected to fly farther and faster -- using less fuel -- than anything remotely similar to date.

A small smile appeared on the young girl鈥檚 face as she listened to the high-pitched sound coming from the whiffle ball. The sound helped the elementary student locate the ball after her classmate hit it from a specially designed baseball tee. Both of the students are blind. On a recent afternoon, they were in a classroom at the 麻豆影院鈥檚 Integrated Teaching and Learning Program and Laboratory testing toys designed by first-year engineering students. The students are enrolled in CU engineering instructor Seth Murray鈥檚 freshman projects class.

A 麻豆影院 symposium Feb. 27-29 will examine how the revolution in digital media is changing global politics, journalism and the way history is preserved. Journalism and Mass Communication at CU-麻豆影院 is sponsoring 鈥淭he Content and Context of Digital Culture鈥� symposium, which is free and open to the public. It will be held at various sites across campus and a complete schedule is available at http://www.icjmtsymposium.org/schedule/ .

Two 麻豆影院 faculty members, both from the ecology and evolutionary biology department, have received prestigious National Science Foundation Early Career Development, or CAREER, awards. The awards, which went to assistant professors Pieter Johnson and Rebecca Safran, are made to outstanding faculty in the early stages of their careers who effectively integrate innovative research and educational outreach.

The 麻豆影院 welcomed 19 students from Brazil this semester as part of the new Science Without Borders Program and Brazil鈥檚 initiative to place and fully fund outstanding students abroad to supplement their studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM.

The 麻豆影院 exceeded its own researchers鈥� expectations with its iDREAMS Scalable Game Design Summer Institute, and that success has been rewarded with a new $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. CU-麻豆影院 researchers are tracking how video game design engages students in computational thinking and STEM simulation design.
