ALERT: Xcel will soon begin a planned power outage in parts of #Boulder County due to high winds and fire danger: axios.com/local/boulder/2025…
Hey #Boulder, here's a story for our times...I spoke to @CUBoulder prof Amir Behzadan about his research on making AI more trustworthy. AI is everywhere in our modern lives, but whether we choose to use AI tech often comes down to how much we trust it.

Based on Behzadan's research, an optimally trustworthy AI tool has a few essential qualities:
1. It knows its users.
2. It’s reliable, ethical and transparent.
3. It takes context into account.
4. It’s easy to use and asks users how it’s doing. ...
Howdy #Boulder. After this week's AWS network outage, I spoke with Levi Perigo from @CUBoulder's network engineering program to learn more about the outage: what happened, who it affected, what caused it and why it could happen again.

There's no guaranteed way to prevent an outage like this from happening again, especially with the number of companies and services relying on AWS and other centralized cloud platforms.

Happy (rainy) Tuesday, #Boulder. I've got a new story for you all about a new temperature-stable, single-injection rabies vaccine developed by @CUBoulder researcher Ted Randolph.

Then, the candied particles are coated with a nanoscopic layer of sapphire. Sapphire dissolves slowly once injected into a patient, so it protects the vaccine particles for days to weeks, depending on the thickness of the sapphire layer.
Hey #Boulder. What goes on inside the hive mind of honeybees? How do they collaborate to solve problems? In my latest story for @CUBoulder, I spoke with Profs. Orit Peleg and Francisco López Jiménez about how bees build hives on tricky building sites.

Their building strategies could spark ideas for new bio-inspired structures or even new ways to approach 3D printing.
