- The College of Engineering and Applied Science, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Leeds School of Business are teaming up to highlight CU Boulder-led research to address climate change from 3-5 p.m. on Nov. 30 in the Olson Atrium of the Rustandy Building. The event comes ahead of the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit on campus and acts as a kickoff to several days of panels, workshops and activities.
- Group of researchers release study that examines how fruit flies can quickly compensate for catastrophic wing injuries, maintaining the same stability after losing up to 40% of a wing. This finding could inform the design of versatile robots.
- Skyler Kern, a PhD student in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, spent a lot of his childhood fishing on the rivers and inlets around Anchorage, Alaska. In fact, Kern’s first word as a child was “boat.” “My family and I were in
