The Anti-Microbial Resistance Mediation Outreach Program, also known as ARMOR, is a graduate student led international effort to develop public awareness of and research into the threat of widespread anti-microbial resistance (AMR). On today's episode of On CUE, we sit down with the team and discuss the global threat AMR poses, the origins of the ARMOR program and steps the team has taken to shed a light on an unseen issue.

President Mark Kennedy has convened faculty experts from all four campuses – including Professor Iain Boyd – for a new National Security Advisory Group.

Professor Iain Boyd is hoping new materials research funding from the U.S. Navy will lead to better understanding and management of heat transfer in hypersonic vehicles through the use of ultra-high-temperature ceramics.

Professor Angela Bielefeldt is starting a new research project that examines how mentoring and identity relate to retention among STEM majors in college. The work is funded by CU’s Research & Innovation Office Seed Grant program and is in partnership with the School of Education.

Professor Shelly Miller in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering writes in The Conversation that the more people understand how aerosols work, the better they can avoid getting or spreading the coronavirus.

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations will cause urban and indoor levels of the gas to increase. This may significantly reduce our basic decision-making ability and complex strategic thinking, according to a new CU Boulder-led study.

CU Boulder is one of several funded teams in the Subterranean Challenge, a competition launched by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to stimulate and test ideas around autonomous robot use in difficult underground environments.

CAREER Awards provide approximately $500,000 over five years for those “who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.” The college has a long tradition of success in the award, with more than 50 winners serving as current and past faculty members.

The 2020 program attracted 109 proposals, which were evaluated by 42 faculty volunteers. CEAS winners this year include Bielefeldt, Ding and Peleg and many more.

Larremore and several colleagues from Colorado joined a nationwide study that seeks to use social media data to better understand how coronavirus cases might grow and travel in the coming weeks.
