The Metropolitan State University of 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 August:

Erin Seedorf, Ph.D., assistant professor of health professions, interviewed with Denver7 on Aug. 27 about government public-health-policy obligations, obesity rates and COVID-19 implications.

Lisa Badanes, Ph.D., associate professor of psychological sciences, interviewed with CBS4 on Aug. 27 about ways to minimize the disruption between in-person and remote learning for students. 

Uwe Kackstaetter, professor of geology, interviewed with Denver7 on Aug. 20 about the impacts of recent fires on the landscape, environment and geology of Colorado.

Rosemarie Allen, Ed.D., associate professor of early-childhood education, interviewed with 9News for a series of equity-education segments Aug. 6, Aug. 13 and Aug. 20.
