<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 °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï, whose research focuses on axon guidance during neural development</p>

<p>°Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï 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 °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï.</p>

<p>A °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï 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 °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï 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>

<p>Cigarette smoking, burning forests and even cooking fires all release a chemical compound not previously known to exist in significant quantities in smoke and which may have potential human health impacts, says a new study involving the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï.</p>

<p>A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy has concluded that a novel °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï method of producing hydrogen fuel from sunlight is the only approach among eight competing technologies that is projected to meet future cost targets set by the federal agency.</p>

<p>Interactive teaching methods significantly improved attendance and doubled both engagement and learning in a large physics class, according to a University of British Columbia study involving °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Distinguished Professor Carl Wieman that is being published today in Science.</p>

<p>Two faculty members from the °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, a top honor recognizing scientists and engineers for distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.</p>
