CU-Â鶹ӰԺ scientists with a special interest in educating young children will give 10 monthly science shows this year starting Sept. 28 for children in grades five through nine. The 20th annual series of hour-long Saturday morning shows will feature astronomy, chemistry-biochemistry and physics topics.

A team of scientists that includes two Colorado researchers will take images of Mars June 27 with the Hubble Space Telescope to check the weather conditions in preparation for the July 4 landing of NASAÂ’s unmanned Pathfinder spacecraft.

CU-Â鶹ӰԺ students will take the first step toward automating many of their business transactions this spring when their pictures are taken for the new Buff OneCard, designed to provide one-stop shopping for administrative and some commercial transactions on and off campus. The Buff OneCard will become the new identification card for studentsÂ’ university business including access to dining halls, the Recreation Center, Wardenburg Health Center, Norlin Library and eventually to buildings or portions of buildings that now require a key to enter.

Physicists Eric A. Cornell of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Carl E. Wieman of the University of Colorado at Â鶹ӰԺ have won the Lorentz Medal from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
