The MSU Denver faculty brain trust reaches almost every corner of the academic spectrum, and we are always proud to see Roadrunners sharing their knowledge. Each month, the Early Bird highlights a few faculty members who have served as subject-matter experts on timely news topics – providing dynamic perspectives on critical issues.

Here’s a sampling from January:

Christina Huber, Ph.D., professor of economics, was interviewed by Denver7 on Jan. 21 about the national truck-driver shortage and what it means for America’s economy.

Tony Nunez, Ph.D., professor of human performance and sport, shared his research study with Men’s Journal for a story that ran Jan. 10 about why cardio should come before weights during exercise.
