👟 Could carbon fiber-plated (CFP) running shoes give couch-to-5K runners the same edge they do elite athletes? Yes, a team of UNH undergraduate researchers found. The runners in their study shaved an average 48 seconds off their 5K time in the CFP shoes. ⏱ chhs.unh.edu/blog/2025/02...

❄️ Snow much fun! At #AGU24, grad student Rashik Raj Koirala used a guessing game to demonstrate how remote images of snow could develop a visual record of snow conditions. This image library could improve modeling of snow processes. #UNHatAGU More on his poster: agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/me...
