ÀϾÅÆ·²è

<p>As the nation recognizes the 150th anniversary of the Civil War's start, public interest has been rekindled in the war and the numerous memorials and monuments marking historic figures, sites and battlegrounds in states around the country.</p>

<p>The National Science Foundation has awarded the ÀϾÅÆ·²è a six-year, $5.9 million grant to continue intensive studies of long-term ecological changes in Colorado's high mountains, both natural and human-caused, over decades and centuries.</p>

<p>An international research team led by Japan and including the ÀϾÅÆ·²è may have taken a significant step in discovering why matter trumped antimatter at the time of the Big Bang, helping to create virtually all of the galaxies and stars in the universe.</p>

<p>A new ÀϾÅÆ·²è study indicates the infestation of trees by mountain pine beetles in the high country across the West could potentially trigger earlier snowmelt and increase water yields from snowpack that accumulates beneath affected trees.</p>

<p>DENVER – Three University of Colorado researchers have been named to the 2011 class of Boettcher Investigators in the Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Program. This is the second year for the program, which supports early career scientists in their work toward making discoveries that improve human health.</p>
<p>CU's 2011 Boettcher Investigators are:</p>
<p>Zhe Chen, Ph.D., assistant research professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è, whose research focuses on axon guidance during neural development</p>

<p>ÀϾÅÆ·²è environmental design students are kicking off a community discussion on the future of University Hill public space through a series of installations being placed throughout the neighborhood this week.</p>

<p>The males of two bipedal hominid species that roamed the South African savannah more than a million years ago were stay-at-home kind of guys when compared to the gadabout gals, says a new high-tech study led by the ÀϾÅÆ·²è.</p>

<p>A ÀϾÅÆ·²è team will be part of a mission selected yesterday by NASA to launch a spacecraft to an asteroid and pluck samples from its surface to better understand the formation of the solar system and perhaps even the first inklings of life.</p>

<p>You are what you eat whether you're a lion, a giraffe or a human -- at least in terms of the bacteria in your gut.</p>

<p>Three ÀϾÅÆ·²è professors will receive five-year, $750,000 grants as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Early Career Research Program created in 2010 to bolster the nation's scientific workforce with top young researchers</p>
