<p>A research team involving Yale University and the ������ý���� has developed a first public demonstration version of its “Map of Life,” an ambitious Web-based endeavor designed to show the distribution of all living plants and animals on the planet.</p>

&����;��&����;��&����;/��&����;
<p>Galaxies with the most powerful, active black holes at their cores produce fewer stars than galaxies with less active black holes, according to a new study involving the ������ý���� using the Herschel Space Observatory.</p>

<p>Nine students who make up the first graduating class of the Mechanical Engineering Partnership Program with Colorado Mesa University will receive degrees from the ������ý���� this week.</p>
<p>The students have attended classes full time at CMU in Grand Junction, with CMU faculty teaching the lower-division courses and CU-������ý���� faculty teaching the upper-division courses.</p>

<p>������ý���� Professor John Wahr of the physics department has been elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a top honor recognizing scientists and engineers for their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.</p>

<p>The University of Colorado Technology Transfer Office, or TTO, pursues, protects, packages and licenses to business the intellectual property generated from research at CU. The TTO provides assistance to faculty, staff and students, as well as to businesses looking to license or invest in CU technology.</p>

<p>The Jennie Smoly Caruthers Biotechnology Building is a 336,800-square-foot research and teaching facility at the ������ý����. The building is located at 3415 Colorado Ave. on CU-������ý����’s East Campus and was designed to facilitate collaborations between scientists and students from multiple disciplines to address critical challenges in the biosciences through collaborative research and teaching.</p>

&����;��&����;��&����;/��&����;
<p>Two ������ý���� undergraduate student teams have been named among the 10 top winners from a field of 3,697 teams that entered the international Mathematical Contest in Modeling.</p>
<p>Results of the 2012 contest were announced this month by the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications. The contest took place at the students’ home institutions Feb. 9-13.</p>

<p>Student-built devices ranging from innovative new products to adaptive technology for people with disabilities will be among more than 60 student inventions showcased at the ������ý����’s Engineering Design Expo on Saturday, April 28.</p>
<p>The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held from noon to 3 p.m. at the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory on Regent Drive south of Colorado Avenue. Projects will be exhibited both indoors and outdoors on the Herbst Plaza.</p>

<p>A revolutionary research and teaching facility opening at the ������ý���� will facilitate work on a wide swath of pressing societal challenges ranging from biomedical issues like cancer, heart disease and tissue engineering to the development of new biofuels.</p>

<p>A ������ý����-led team has developed a new monitoring system to analyze and compare emissions from man-made fossil fuels and trace gases in the atmosphere, a technique that likely could be used to monitor the effectiveness of measures regulating greenhouse gases.</p>
