Researchers, doctors, their patients and supporters are venturing out of labs, hospitals and offices across the country to stand up to what they call an attack on life-saving science by the Trump administration.

A new laboratory run by Colorado State University is devoted to the study of chocolate: how it’s made, how to create new varieties, and why people can’t get enough of those Valentine’s Day chocolates.

The University of Colorado system is the state’s major recipient of grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Listen to "Morning Edition" host Michael Lyle, Jr. discuss this story with Colorado Sun editor Lance Benzel and then read The Colorado Sun story at the link below.

Water experts say cloud seeding deserves more funding and research to measure its impact on the drought-stricken Colorado River basin.

Earlier this year, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science announced the discovery of a tiny, scorpion-like species in a cave near Boulder. Today on In The NoCo, we hear from the man who identified it – and learn how he has discovered dozens of other cave-dwelling creatures. It’s part of In The NoCo’s year-end review of our favorite science stories.

In The NoCo covers all the topics important to Coloradans and that includes plenty of science. From underground fires to protecting honey bees, here's a look at some of our favorite science-focused conversations.

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.

A team of researchers at CU’s Anschutz Medical Campus is leading an ambitious project that may eventually allow doctors to restore a patient’s sight – by performing an eye transplant. The procedure is just a goal for now. Today on ITN, the lead researcher explains how she hopes to make it reality.

Western forests are taking longer to grow back after wildfires. That’s partly because climate change has made it harder for new trees to survive where the old trees would have thrived. One researcher at CSU wants to address the problem by planting entirely different species of trees after a wildfire. You can learn more on today’s In the NoCo.

The Colorado River starts as mountain snow, but climate change has made it harder to predict how much will flow into streams every year. A new study says springtime sun, rain and plants could make it easier.
