The Trump administration’s recent firings of employees with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, led to protests this week. And one scientist felt compelled to write an essay explaining why NOAA’s research is important – and often goes unappreciated.

On his first day in office last month, President Trump gave a green light to stepped-up immigration enforcement. As part of that effort, he expanded a particular policy that could put more immigrants living in Colorado at higher risk of deportation. We hear more about the policy -- known as expedited removal -- on today’s In the NoCo.

Are you hunting for a new job? There's one other thing besides your resume that you might want to give some attention to: your social media accounts. A CU researcher says your posts on Facebook, X, and BlueSky can influence whether hiring managers return your call. He shares what he's learned on today’s In the NoCo.

A CU researcher made an interesting discovery recently. He found that injecting mice with a strain of helpful bacteria prevented weight gain – even in mice that were fed the equivalent of an all-fast food diet. He joined In The NoCo to talk about why this could be a promising solution for obesity in humans.

Studies show that women are more likely than men to have trouble sleeping. A new study from the University of Colorado examined why – and found some surprising answers. Are your sleepless nights caused by biology, or shaky scientific research? We dig into that question today on In The NoCo.

So-called 'forever' chemicals are found in many household products – and they’re linked to a host of health problems. And because they were designed to never break down, it’s nearly impossible to get rid of them. But researchers from Colorado State University and CU Boulder have found a promising new method to break them down safely – using light. We’ll hear more on today’s In The NoCo.

When two closely related bird species found themselves in overlapping habitats, they found a clever solution – one altered its song to be distinct from the other. And according to new research from CU Boulder, the adaptation shows in real time how human development is impacting ecosystems on the Front Range. We learn more on today's ITN.

When a natural disaster forces people to evacuate, not everyone gets the message – or is physically or financially able to get out of harm’s way. On today's In The NoCo, we talk with a researcher who studies how communication during emergencies works... and how it can be improved to help keep people safe.

Wildfires in Colorado can devastate communities. But there’s research that shows wildfires and other natural disasters can also make communities stronger. Today on In The NoCo, a CU Boulder researcher looks at surprising ways that catastrophes can strengthen bonds between neighbors.

It seems fitting that homecoming weekend in Boulder on Saturday coincides with the Buffaloes making their return to Big 12 play. Colorado left the conference following the 2010 season to join the Pac-12 and came back this season. The last time Colorado faced Baylor on the football field was Oct. 16, 2010.
