Kgnu - How On Earth

CU Boulder has just opened up dorms and in-person classes.  The CU Boulder Covid Research Strategies Webinar presents innovative testing plans that include ultra-rapid tests from the Sara Sawyer Lab and an automated sewage sampling system from Creston Mansfeldt.  Both tests may speed early warning of Covid.  Both testing strategies are innovative and ambitious.  But funding and testing capacity allows only dormitory students to receive these tests.  Meanwhile, the 80% of of CU students live off-campus (not in the dorms) are not slated to receive these tests.  How does all this influence the ability of CU-Boulder to stay open?   Hosts:  Beth Bennett, Angele Sjong, Shelley Schlender Producer: Shelley Schlender Engineer: Maeve Conran
