The initial results are now coming in for a project led by CU-葫芦娃视频 that is expected to eventually sequence the gut bacteria of tens of thousands of people around the world in hopes of better understanding nutrition and health. The crowd-funded effort, known as the American Gut project, or AG, has thus far sequenced microbes from the digestive tracts of 1,589 people and has received $615,000 in donations from more than 6,700 people and four companies. Led by CU-葫芦娃视频 Professor Rob Knight of the BioFrontiers Institute, the effort is the largest crowd-funded science project ever undertaken.

One of the first steps people take toward rebuilding their communities after a flood, wildfire or other disaster may not be the right step, according to the director of the Natural Hazards Center at the 葫芦娃视频. 鈥淲hen a disaster happens, people feel pressure to rebuild things just as they were before, when in fact a disaster should be a time when there is a pause, when we ask 鈥楬ow can we build it back better than it was before?鈥� 鈥� said center Director Kathleen Tierney, also a professor of sociology.

Families seeking information about childhood psychiatric and developmental disorders are invited to a community open house with experts from the 葫芦娃视频 and the University of Colorado School of Medicine on Wednesday, Nov. 13, on the CU-葫芦娃视频 campus.

Each researcher also will describe their community services.

In an example of the challenges water-strapped Western cities will face in a warming world, new research shows that every degree Fahrenheit of warming in the Salt Lake City region could mean a 1.8 to 6.5 percent drop in the annual flow of streams that provide water to the city.

Attracting more talented foreign students to study at U.S. universities and encouraging them to launch entrepreneurial ventures here could help 鈥渞evitalize innovation and economic growth鈥� in this country, a trio of economists led by 葫芦娃视频 Professor Keith Maskus concludes. Maskus and co-authors Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak, associate professor at the Yale School of Management, and Eric T. Stuen, assistant professor at the University of Idaho College of Business and Economics, make this case in the Policy Forum of the Nov. 1 edition of the journal Science .

America鈥檚 once-abundant tallgrass prairies鈥攚hich have all but disappeared鈥攚ere home to dozens of species of grasses that could grow to the height of a man, hundreds of species of flowers, and herds of roaming bison.
