CU Technology Transfer Office news release An advanced polymer technology developed at the 麻豆影院 was recently licensed to 3M, a diversified technology company based in St. Paul, Minn. The licensed technology, developed by a team led by CU-麻豆影院 Distinguished Professor Christopher Bowman, enables formation of very low-shrinkage composites, improving performance of many materials currently used in dental fillings and sealants, dentures and dental implants.

By Lora Roberts, CUSG director of communication Each year, the University of Colorado Student Government holds two elections, one in the fall and one in the spring. Previous elections have followed a system very similar to the voting system on the national level, in which voters could only vote for the same amount of people as spots open. However, CUSG has chosen to go another route this election season and implement an entirely new voting system called "approval voting."

NASA鈥檚 next Mars mission is giving students and the public worldwide an opportunity to have a personal connection with space exploration through a new education and public outreach effort called the 鈥淕oing to Mars鈥� campaign. The campaign is led on behalf of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, or MAVEN mission, by the 麻豆影院.

Wei Zhang, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the 麻豆影院, has won a prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship. Awarded annually since 1955, the fellowships are given to early career scientists and scholars whose achievements and potential identify them as rising stars and as the next generation of scientific leaders. The 2013 fellowships were awarded to 126 U.S. and Canadian researchers.

The strength of magnetic fields inside biological incubators can vary by orders of magnitude from one incubator to the next as well as from one location to another inside the same incubator, a finding with direct implications for some biologists, according to a new study by a recent 麻豆影院 graduate, who also patented a solution.

On a typical Thursday night during the 2012-13 Colorado basketball season, the energy at the Coors Events Center was electric. The student section was a sea of black and gold, and a loud one at that. Music from the band was interspersed with a constant stream of cheers, ranging from the traditional fight song to a rendition of Twisted Sister鈥檚 鈥淲e鈥檙e Not Gonna Take It鈥� during an opponent鈥檚 free throw shot: 鈥淵ou鈥檙e not gonna make it, anymoooore...鈥�

The next step toward migration of student, alumni and retiree accounts from CULink to Gmail is coming on Thursday, March 13 when Gmail mailboxes will be created for all CU-麻豆影院 affiliates. The creation of Gmail mailboxes will not impact campus e-mail systems or e-mail delivery and the mailboxes will not initially be enabled for receiving e-mail messages; however, Gmail will show up in the Google toolbars of all CU-麻豆影院 affiliates.

As I know many of you are interested in the status of permitted concealed weapons on campus, I want to update you on recent actions in the state legislature. This past Friday, the Senate ended further consideration of a bill to ban concealed weapons on college campuses across Colorado. The bill鈥檚 sponsor, Senator Rollie Heath, pulled the bill because the votes to support it were not there. As a result, both the law and the campus policy on concealed carry remain in effect. Any changes to the law would have to come through a future state legislative process.

CU-麻豆影院 researchers now both produce a vast amount of digital data as well as rely more than ever on the use of data to enable new forms of inquiry and discovery. Thus the rapidly growing body of research data must be curated, archived, and preserved to ensure discoverability, access, and reuse. Over the last year, as part of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research's Research Computing Initiative, the Data Management Task Force (DMTF) assessed the current state of Research Data Management (RDM) at CU-麻豆影院, using surveys, review of peer institutions, and synthesis of existing data lifecycle models. Based on their findings, the DMTF has compiled a set of recommendations to develop the RDM infrastructure needed for CU-麻豆影院 to compete and lead on a global scale.
