The Metropolitan State University of Denver faculty brain trust reaches almost every spot along 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 March:

Cynthia Dormer, Ph.D., professor of Nutrition, interviewed with 710KNUS on March 4 to discuss tips and trends about how society has managed diet, weight loss and body perceptions. (Segment 9:24-24:57)
