The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) could close all four of its Boulder laboratories and CU Boulder’s Cooperative Institute for Research In Environmental Sciences (CIRES) under a proposed 2026 budget. The plan comes after the agency cut hundreds of jobs earlier this year.

The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), which operates at Colorado State University, will also be eliminated.

The proposed budget is $4.5 billion, some 30% smaller than 2025’s spending plan, and comes with a 17% reduction in total jobs. The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research has been eliminated in its entirety from NOAA under the plan; some of its operations will be transferred to other offices, according to the budget document released by NOAA last week.

Louise Barton remembers the exact backpacking moment when her career path changed.

“I’m a botanist by training. I started working for the Forest Service and we were in Yellowstone doing huge off-trail miles, so I brought some packaged meals,” she says. “I ate a beef stroganoff dinner. I was so hungry I would have eaten anything, but it was soupy and just gross. It had this off flavor, and I was nauseous eating it. I trashed the rest of my meals when we went back into town for resupply.”

“It got me scheming: What if I just made my own dehydrated meals for the next time?”

Next year is set to be a big one for milestones. During the Colorado Music Festival’s 50th anniversary at Chautauqua Auditorium in the summer of 2026, the U.S. will celebrate its 250th birthday and Colorado its 150th. Music director Peter Oundjian says the landmark season of the annual five-week classical music concert series at Chautauqua Auditorium is mostly planned out — and the path leading there begins this summer.

He sees the upcoming festival beginning July 3 as a launching point. Read more before you go at the link in bio.

"Antisemitism is real and terrifying. But calling every act of anti-Israel resistance, including violent ones, 'antisemitism' flattens reality, distorts public discourse and blocks urgently needed accountability," writes Boulder resident and Israeli veteran Micha K. Ben David. "We can’t afford to conflate identity with ideology, or use fear to silence debate. It erases the distinction between Jewish identity and Israeli state violence, and it’s designed to end the conversation before it starts."
