Not only does CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø continue to be one of the top Peace Corps volunteer-producing schools of all time, holding the No. 5 spot, but it also ranks highly annually, this year taking the No. 11 spot among schools of similar size across the U.S.

CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø scientists have found that 4- and 5-year-olds who go to bed later and are exposed to brighter nighttime light experience delays in their biological clock, which could lead to night-owl schedules and associated health problems.

Humans have dramatically increased the spatial and seasonal extent of wildfires across the U.S. in recent decades and ignited more than 840,000 blazes over a 21-year period, according to new Â鶹¹ÙÍø-led research.

A new study with implications for human health found that prebiotics – dietary fibers found in foods like chicory, artichokes, raw garlic and onions – improved sleep and buffered stress.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like aspirin and ibuprofen have been found to inhibit enzymes that play a key role in causing sepsis, according to a new study by BioFrontiers researcher Hubert YIn. He's now exploring ways to repurpose the drugs to treat the deadly condition which impacts more than 1 million people annually.

A groundbreaking partnership between CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Brain Behavior Clinic and the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Shelter for the Homeless provides free cognitive evaluations for the homeless, which helps them get disability benefits.

Thanks to a six-year $6.8 million renewal grant, decades-long data collection will continue on Niwot Ridge. It is the only site of its kind on the continent comprising alpine and sub-alpine environments, and CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø researchers sometimes brave harsh weather conditions to get there.

A new study has found that seasonally-influenced changes in diet and environmental stressors change the amount and kinds of sugars in a mother's breastmilk. This, in turn, impacts her baby's gut microbiota, growth rate and ability to fend off illness.

Students and faculty at BioServe Space Technologies in aerospace engineering built two biomedical payloads that will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Feb. 18 to the International Space Station.

A $3 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) will allow Â鶹¹ÙÍø researchers to simulate particle behavior to a greater degree than ever before.
