DU Natural Sciences & Mathematics

NEW EPISODE! This week we're soaring to new heights by exploring altitude sickness and how we came to understand it. And we're bringing a friend: @JonVelotta, Asst Prof at the University of Denver, joins us to chat evolutionary adaptations to high altitude. Pic: LW Yaggy, 1893

Join @denverastro and @astroprofhoff this Wednesday for a special occultation of the Moon, Mars, and Earth! The Moon will cross in front of Mars and you can see it from @Chamberlin_Obs. More info: science.du.edu/physics/news/p…

Hey #Denver, come on over for telescope viewing 🌓🔭, physics demos ⚡️, costumes 🧛, glow sticks 🪄, and other after-dark fun Saturday night 10/29 starting around 6pm! Fun for the whole family, sponsored by @denverastro and @DUsciencemath!

Annual faculty and staff awards luncheon ⁦@UofDenver⁩! Congrats to the recipients on their service and stellar accomplishments!

The Coalition thanks @DUsciencemath, @HarvardPhysics, @UNT_Physics & @TAMUPhysAstr for hosting colloquia presented by our Project Team Members on the threats of #nuclearweapons over the past two weeks. Join us in working for a safer future: physicistscoalition.org/join

Join Dr. Julie Morris and Dr. Dhaval Vyas for a nature walk at Cherry Creek State Park this Saturday—and beers afterwards at DU-alum-owned @Two22Brew! More info and registration: rsvp.du.edu/event/165e8af6…

We're getting into grad application season — if you are interested disciplines associated with Biophysical studies, consider applying to our program. A great, young super-involved faculty doing cutting edge biophysical research here in Colorado: science.du.edu/biophysics

Incredibly proud of our faculty at DU’s College of Natural Sciences & Mathematics who feature prominently in this report! Congrats all!

“The research I’m going to do is going to have an impact in terms of what I can bring to our program and our students at DU." says geography professor Andy Goetz from @DUsciencemath. Hear more from Goetz here: bit.ly/3dTnbvX #DUNewsroom

Here's a map for all of today's BANDALOOP activities! See you all this afternoon 🥳

This is your DU.

Congratulations to @DUsciencemath Scott Horowitz for his award in the amount of $720k! Sponsored by @DeptofDefense the title of the project is "Targeting Quadruplex Binding in ALS."

New #SNR paper by @Dh_Dinko & @HansonNyantakyi. Drone photo-elicitation captures the dynamism inherent in legal pluralism while providing a compelling visualization of access outcomes in space and time. bit.ly/3zMFXMi @DUsciencemath @DamesofDrones @GeoNadirAu
