Join research study on light exposure and the body clock

This study is about how typical artificial indoor lighting versus a simulation of a natural sunset influences the timing of the human body clock. The body clock controls 24-hour patterns of physiology such as sleep and hormone release. This work will have important implications for determining how implementation of new lighting technology can be used to promote sleep.

We are looking for healthy men and women, ages 18–45, to participate in a study lasting approximately 15 days consisting of wearing an activity tracking watch at home and two laboratory visits of about 7 hours each at the CU Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory.

Compensation up to $200.

For study details, email sleep.study@colorado.edu and ask about the Simulated Sunset study.

Seeking participants with no history of any heart or lung diseases to participate in a research study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of automatic detection and identification of certain valvular heart diseases based on heart sounds collected using a digital stethoscope. This study is conducted by a PhD student in the Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering Department of CU Boulder. Participants are asked to give approximately 30 minutes of their time to finish a single study session. During the session, heart sounds are recorded using a digital stethoscope, and the heart electrical activity will also be recorded using an ECG monitor to help in the analysis of the heart sounds. This study is conducted under the guidance of Professor Kimberly Newman from the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering of CU Boulder.

Participate in Out and Allied in STEM visibility campaign

The Center for Inclusion & Social Change is supporting a campuswide LGBTQ+ faculty visibility campaign, initiated and co-hosted by Out in STEM @ CU Boulder, a group of LGBTQ+ students in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. We would love your support in this visibility campaign to make LGBTQ+ students feel safe and welcome on this campus! Campus climate and retention data show that LGBTQ+ students are at a disproportionate risk for dropping out of CU Boulder. Research shows that having out, visible faculty and other STEM community members can improve students’ sense of belonging and inclusion. The website resource will promote visibility, community and pride for the LGBTQ+ community in the STEM fields. If you would like to be a part of the visibility campaign, please complete the form below. Faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students are welcome to apply. A headshot or photo is encouraged but not required.
