Things like lockdowns, school closures and masking worked surprisingly well to contain infections long enough for a vaccine to be developed, new research shows. But with better planning, the authors say, the U.S. could manage future pandemics with less economic pain.

Associate Professor Seema Sohi is one of 28 Andrew Carnegie fellows who will receive stipends of $200,000 each for research that seeks to understand the polarization of society and how to strengthen democracy.

From developing new therapies to help patients cope with anxiety to discovering new ways to treat resistant breast cancer and new environmentally friendly methods for producing chemotherapy drugs, CU Boulder researchers are pushing boundaries in cancer research.

Researchers led by CU Boulder primatologist Michelle Sauther walked the paths of the Lajuma Research Centre in South Africa at night, keeping an eye out for the glowing eyes of galago primates, or bushbabies. The team's findings reveal troubling hints about how small animals may adapt to extreme temperatures.

Billions of years ago, Venus may have held as much water as Earth. Now, it harbors 100,000 times less water than our planet. A new study from planetary scientists at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) dives into how that water disappeared.

Associate Professor Markas Henry reflects on the sometimes vague or even non-existent line between clothing and show—a distintion that can blur at the annual Met Gala.

Earth scientists have long turned to minute differences in hydrogen atoms to explore the ancient history of our planet. A new study suggests that these same tiny atoms could one day lead to new ways to track the growth of cancer.

A Research & Innovation Office grant program announced nearly $95,000 in combined funding for 17 projects exploring topics in disciplines from Asian languages and environmental design to composition and Classics.

For the first time in the field, CIRES-led research shows that ice shelves don’t just buckle under the weight of meltwater lakes—they fracture.

Studying Venus’ water loss can help scientists better understand how planets go from potentially habitable to incapable of supporting life. Read from CU expert Eryn Cangi on The Conversation.
