CU-Boulder professor inducted into American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Oct 27th
Veronica Vaida, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry and a fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences this month.
She was elected to the academy in recognition of her exceptional achievements in scientific research. Among the other 218 new members elected this year were U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, actor and director Clint Eastwood, journalist Judy Woodruff and Amazon.com founder and chairman Jeff Bezos.
Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an independent policy research center that conducts multidisciplinary studies of complex and emerging problems. The academy’s elected members are leaders in the academic disciplines, the arts, business and public affairs.
Vaida’s research uses spectroscopy to explore different chemical reactions in the atmosphere, with many of these reactions having environmental implications. She is the 23rd CU-Boulder faculty member to be elected to the academy.
The academy’s unique strength lies in the distinguished leadership of its 4,600 fellows and 600 foreign honorary members and the wide range of expertise they bring to its multidisciplinary analyses of compelling contemporary issues.
The only other new academy member elected from Colorado this year was Mark Johnston, a professor of biochemistry and molecular genetics at CU Denver.
CIRES is a joint institute of CU-Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. To learn more about Vaida’s current research, visit her laboratory home page at http://www.colorado.edu/chem/vaidalab/index.htm.
Shock! get ready Boulder. ROMNEY predicted to win
Oct 26th
Boulder should brace itself for a huge loss on election day.
Not only has the University of Colorado twice predicted Romney would win the presidential election, but today’s national polls show Romney ahead by 3 points.
Not only has the University of Colorado twice predicted Romney would win the presidential election, but today’s national polls show Romney ahead by 3 points.
Hi Boulder. I am glad to be your president.
“The latest presidential polls indicate that Romney is leading Obama nationwide, 50% to 47%. That is the consensus between Rasmussen, Gallop, and ABC News. ” according to gather. Add Politico and AP says Real Clear Politics. Finally the Washington Post shows Romney inching ahead over 50% and gaining ground daily with women voters.
Where did Obama lose the election? He lost it in the first debate and never recovered. Obama looked burned out and tired and all done right there. The situation in Libya did not help. It looks like his entire administration lied to cover up it’s incompetence to protect the ambassador. Those failed Solar companies the government invested in didn’t help. Obama’s perceived anti business approach hasn’t helped.
Romney seems to have convinced the American people and especially Coloradoans that he will repeat what he did as Governor of Massachusetts. Romney has moved his campaign to the left in recent days.
Boulder passes out cold at the news.
As each day goes by it only gets worse for Obama. The hope and change message he brought in 2008 has now gone to Romney with his new slogan Big Change. The energy of the Romney campaign has begun to sweep the country. His Red Rocks show dwarfed Obamas rainy city park appearance.
Hillary Clinton resigned as secretary of state this week. That is not a good sign. She could have waited til after the election. Seems she knows it is all over. She is being blamed for the cover up in Libya.
Finally, Americas youth have turned on Obama and have switched sides to Romney. They just like him better. Romney s likability factor has shot up. He smiles a lot seems very nice, knowledgeable and trust worthy. He is also good looking. He looks fresh and alive compared to Barrack Obama who looks tired and worn out.
Obamas mistake was to not rest up and prepare for the campaign season. So steel yourself Boulder. Get ready for Mitt Romney.
