Congratulations, Anna Tsouhlarakis! Only 56 artists were selected to be in the Whitney Biennial, a world-renowned art show, and she is one of them. 👏👏👏

🏆 The sculpture chosen to be in the biennial is called “SHE MUST BE A MATRIARCH.” It was first shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2023, as a part of a solo exhibition by Tsouhlarakis called “Indigenous Absurdities."

🎙️ “It's a piece that I'm very proud of, I think it speaks to different audiences in different ways.” - Tsouhlarakis

A&S NEWS: Can evolutionary rescue help even long-lived species from going extinct? 📰🦬

🐊 Two CU Boulder researchers are helping clarify how species’ populations with longer lives can still adapt to a changing climate.

💡Through their simulations, Scott Nordstrom & Brett Melbourne were surprised to find that long-lived species can experience a complicated evolutionary dynamic. In these cases, some random environmental event has affected an organism's trait in a way that turns out to be an advantage in the changed environment.

🏆 CU experts: Scott Nordstrom (PhDEBio’23) and Brett Melbourne, a University of Colorado Boulder professor of ecology and evolutionary biology

Hellems is back—and better than ever.

Reopening with a special ceremony today, Hellems is home to humanities departments such as English, history and more that shape the CU Boulder College of Arts & Sciences experience.
