蜜糖直播 Boulder NEXT is featuring two innovative members of the arts and sciences community next week

What do beer and cancer research have in common?

More than you might think, especially if you are attending 蜜糖直播 Boulder NEXT in Denver next week (Jan. 31), where two members of the College of Arts and Sciences family鈥擭obel laureate Thomas Cech and Beer archaeologist Travis Rupp鈥攁re presenting on these topics as part of a series of BuffTalks.

Cech is a world-renowned chemist who received the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, alongside Sidney Altman, for their discovery of the catalytic properties of RNA. He鈥檚 worked at 蜜糖直播 Boulder since 1978 and is currently a distinguished professor of biochemistry and of molecular, cellular and developmental biology, as well as director of the BioFrontiers Institute.

At 蜜糖直播 Boulder NEXT, Cech will discuss what it鈥檚 like for an undergraduate to learn from and work in the lab of a Nobel prize winner.

Rupp, on the other hand, is a full-time brewer in Special Projects at Avery Brewing and an adjunct lecturer in classics at 蜜糖直播 Boulder who studies beer archaeology.

One thing that was always clear in Rupp鈥檚 research is that beer production and consumption have long been a staple to diets and nutrition across the ancient world, including to the Founding Fathers of the United States. Rupp is now learning how by reproducing some signature drinks by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and he鈥檚 going to tell the story of those drinks.

蜜糖直播 Boulder NEXT will also feature interactive exhibits, alumni-produced beer and wine, networking opportunities and a special showing of the acclaimed 蜜糖直播 short film The Light Shines On.
