Tarantulas, witches and cannibals. Oh, my.

[Colorado State News @ColoStateNews]

To celebrate spooky season, we’re bringing back episodes featuring “terrifying” tarantula treks, “disturbing” cases of déjà vu, and the real history of America's “wicked” witches. Enjoy as CSU’s experts shine a light on things that go bump in the night. https://t.co/n1WhDPsAUP

CSU researcher and former wildland firefighter Camille Stevens-Rumann talks about why forests aren't regenerating like they used to post fire, the hard truths we have to face about the future of forests, and the damage the "Smokey Bear effect" has had.

[Colorado State News @ColoStateNews]

“Optimistically, I like to say that we’re not saying goodbye to forests, but rather maybe we’ll see them on up the hill. I think we do have to adapt and think about the fact that those forests are going to look differently.”

"The professor said, 'There's a guy in Colorado forecasting hurricanes on a seasonal timescale.' I thought, 'That guy must be nuts.' ... I’ve been trying to follow in his footsteps ever since." Phil Klotzbach, CSU senior research scientist https://t.co/jjpvP0gYDi

"It's so fulfilling to do that kind of work, and you feel like you’re really making a big difference, not only to those people’s lives, but to your discipline because the students I’ve mentored are going to go on and do even more amazing things than I’ve done in my own career."

Curious why tarantulas risk life & limb for love? Whether chocolate is really “addictive”? Or what happens when we experience déjà vu?

CSU researcher @anne_mook and colleague @PilarMorGin wanted to look deeper into the impacts of wildfires on communities around them.

What they found is that while the scars of wildfires run deep, so too are their ability to influence adaptation and build resilience.

Manure and offal often have a high "ick" factor for people.

During the final week of the @nationalwestern @CSUSpur's Jordan Lambert is working to bring these things relegated to "waste products" to the table – figuratively and literally. Learn more here: https://t.co/KyUqnsGMvB

Poop isn’t too polite of a topic, jokes on bowel movements may even be some people’s version of peak comedy.

But for #ColoradoState’s Jordan Kraft Lambert, poop is just an untapped resource.

You'll take away my catalogues when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. (OK, maybe that's a little far, but you get the picture)

[CSU College of Business @CSUCollegeOfBiz]

Holiday catalogues: Are they here to stay? In a recent article with @AP News, the marketing department’s Jon Zhang discussed the recent size change and the importance of hand-held marketing material.

CSU political science researcher James "Pigeon" Fielder believes the role-playing game @Wizards_DnD
is just the kind of "campaigning" that our political leaders need to be doing right now. https://t.co/sNe6oeNnMO

@StinaSieg Big hug. You got this.

"It’s cheap and it’s transactional, but that’s what their niche is. Why does Taco Bell exist? Because you want something fast and relatively affordable. Is it good for me? Probably not. But sometimes you want a Mexican pizza. @SpiritHalloween is the Mexican pizza of retail."

[Colorado State News @ColoStateNews]

@CSUCollegeOfBiz Zac Rogers recently talked to CSU's The Audit podcast about how the Spirit Halloween biz model has impacted how we do business, that SNL skit, and how mask sales can predict our next U.S. President. https://t.co/o4sgFSu78r
