<p>The ������ý���� today announced three finalists for the inaugural Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy. This month, the finalists will make one-day campus visits, during which they will hold public forums.</p>
<p>Since last summer, an advisory committee has been working to identify finalists. The committee has sought a “highly visible” scholar who is “deeply engaged in either the analytical scholarship or practice of conservative thinking and policymaking or both.”</p>

<p>The presidential inauguration draws heavy media coverage every four years – with pictures of the swearing in, the parade and the traditional black tie balls.</p>
<p>But when CU Journalism major Rob Denton covered this year’s inauguration for a PBS NewsHour blog, he gave his audience a look at much different events using some entirely new digital technology.</p>

<p>The ������ý���� is ranked No. 4 in the nation for graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers with 93 alumni currently serving around the world, the Peace Corps announced today.</p>
<p class="p1">Since 2004, CU-������ý���� has held a position in the top four among institutions of similar size. CU-������ý���� is the fifth highest volunteer-producing university of all time with 2,353 undergraduate alumni having served in the program since it was established in 1961.</p>

<p>In hopes of better understanding nutrition and health, the ������ý���� is playing the leading science role in a “crowdfunding” effort that has raised more than $340,000 for a project designed to sequence the gut bacteria of thousands of people around the world.</p>

A scaled, working model of the solar system built by engineering students at the ������ý���� will be officially unveiled at Andrews Hall on Feb. 11.

<p>We’ve all heard examples of animal altruism: Dogs caring for orphaned kittens, chimps sharing food or dolphins nudging injured mates to the surface. Now, a study led by the ������ý���� suggests some plants are altruistic too.</p>

<p>A new NASA-led study involving the ������ý���� finds that when it comes to combating global warming caused by emissions of ozone-forming chemicals, location matters.    </p>
<p>Ozone is both a major air pollutant with known adverse health effects and a greenhouse gas that traps heat from escaping Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists and policy analysts are interested in learning how curbing the emissions of ozone-forming chemicals can improve human health and also help mitigate climate change.</p>

<p>������ý���� faculty member John Gosling is one of 18 individuals honored today by the National Academy of Sciences for their outstanding scientific achievements.</p>

<p>A person’s style of speech — not just the pitch of his or her voice — may help determine whether the listener perceives the speaker to be male or female, according to a ������ý���� researcher who studied transgender people transitioning from female to male.</p>
<p>The way people pronounce their “s” sounds and the amount of resonance they use when speaking contributes to the perception of gender, according to Lal Zimman, whose findings are based on research he completed while earning his doctoral degree from CU-������ý����’s linguistics department.</p>

<p>With 14,000 original photographs and publications largely from the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the recently acquired <a href="http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/specialcollections/exhibits/current/Wolff.htm">Ira Wolff Photographic History Collection</a> offers a major scholarly resource for the study of the history of photography.</p>
