  • Gerardo Lopez Perez is a first-generation college student and recipient of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Exceptional Research Opportunities Program award.
    He was the kind of student over whom universities normally compete. But two significant obstacles stood between him and a course of study at CU-Boulder. One was money, as his family was of modest means. The other was citizenship.

  • Questions marks around a chasm
    U.S. geologists have noted greater frequency of earthquakes in the last four years, in some cases where wastewater is injected deep underground after hydrologic fracturing, but a prominent geologist at CU-Boulder at CU-Boulder says scientists don’t yet know enough to predict when wastewater injected underground after “fracking” might cause major earthquakes.
