The expansion doubles the number of students eligible for the program, increasing funding for incoming, transfer and continuing students. The move was made possible in part by the passage of Colorado Senate Bill 96, which increases the university's ability to support institutionally funded merit scholarships and need-based grants for resident students.&nbsp;</p><h2>Everest Germs Can Last Decades&nbsp;</h2><p dir="ltr"><a href="/today/2023/03/14/when-someone-sneezes-everest-their-germs-can-last-centuries" rel="nofollow">抖阴旅行射 Boulder-led research determined</a> that human microbes found in the soil of Mount Everest 鈥� left by sneezes, coughs, nose-blowing and more 鈥� were resilient enough to survive in a dormant state for decades (or even centuries) in harsh conditions at high elevations. The study was the first to use next-generation gene sequencing technology to analyze soil from above 26,000 feet on Everest. The findings suggest ways to better understand environmental limitations to life on Earth and where life could exist on other planets or cold moons.&nbsp;</p><h2>Eggshells Reveal New Elephant Bird Lineage</h2><p dir="ltr">Eggshell remnants from eggs larger than footballs reveal information about a now-extinct new lineage of elephant bird that roamed northeastern Madagascar more than 1,200 years ago. This study, published in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36405-3" rel="nofollow"><em>Nature Communications</em></a>, marks the first time a new elephant bird lineage has been found without any skeletal remains. The research will help scientists learn more about birds that once lived 鈥� and why so many have gone extinct.&nbsp;</p><h2>Heard Around Campus&nbsp;</h2><blockquote><p dir="ltr"><strong>鈥淚t feels to me like the very early days of widespread adoption of the internet in terms of how impactful this could, eventually, be for everyday life.鈥�</strong></p></blockquote><p dir="ltr">鈥� Casey Fiesler, associate professor in 抖阴旅行射 Boulder鈥檚 <a href="/cmci/infoscience" rel="nofollow">Department of Information Science</a>, on the swift rise of artificial intelligence platforms like ChatGPT.&nbsp;</p><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-center ucb-box-alignment-none ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-black"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">Summer at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="row ucb-column-container"><div class="col ucb-column"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">83掳</p><p class="text-align-center">Average temperature (June<strong>鈥�</strong>September)</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">7</p><p class="text-align-center">Average inches of rain (June<strong>鈥�</strong>September)</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">6</p><p class="text-align-center">Summer sessions offered by 抖阴旅行射 Boulder</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">8,181</p><p class="text-align-center">Students enrolled in summer classes in 2022</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div class="text-align-center">&nbsp;</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="col ucb-column"><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">90%</p><p class="text-align-center">Summer students who are undergraduates</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">62%</p><p class="text-align-center">Summer students who are Arts and Sciences majors</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="text-align-center hero">36%</p><p class="text-align-center">Classes that meet completely or partially in-person</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p>&nbsp;</p></div></div></div><p><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-gold ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="/coloradan/submit-your-feedback" rel="nofollow"><span class="ucb-link-button-contents"><i class="fa-solid fa-pencil">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;Submit feedback to the editor</span></a></p><hr><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p>Photo credit:&nbsp;Eric Daft, National Geographic</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><hr></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>Mount Everest, elephant birds and the 抖阴旅行射 Promise Program</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Related Articles</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <a href="/coloradan/summer-2023" hreflang="und">Summer 2023</a> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Mon, 10 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 11979 at /coloradan
