Many plants are heading into dormancy, while others are in a period of active growth. Doing the right gardening tasks now can set the stage for next year's garden: adding new plants for seasonal interest or making changes to address problems observed over the past season. Some of the best things to do - or to avoid - at this time of year may seem counter-intuitive to some gardeners. This session will cover what to plant in fall, lawn care, how to prepare the garden for winter, and how to maximize seasonal interest and appearance.

Participate in this 'weed walk' and learn how to identify and gather some of the most common edible weeds and wild foods available in your garden and in other disturbed areas.

Scientific knowledge is only meaningful if people can access, understand, and make use of it. Although open access has removed paywalls for many scientific papers, many barriers remain. Papers may be inaccessible to people using assistive technologies, difficult for non-specialists to understand, or hard to translate into practical applications. Emerging AI technologies create new opportunities to study these challenges at scale and develop tools that improve access, but these transformations also introduce risks around information fidelity and the communication of uncertainty.
In this talk, I discuss our work on improving access to scientific and health information. Large-scale analysis of scientific PDFs reveals how access varies across publishers and publication models, including how the growth of open access has counterintuitively impacted document access. I also discuss how machine-learning-based solutions can help identify accessibility failures and support the conversion of PDFs into more accessible…

On the first Tuesday of each month of the academic year, UW Global hosts a gathering for faculty who are engaged or interested in global work: Community Conversations.
This is not a lecture series. It is a welcoming and conversational space to meet colleagues, share food and drink,
and connect around the many ways global perspectives show up in our teaching, research, and engagement. Whether your work involves international research, global learning, study abroad, visiting scholars, or exploring global issues locally, this is a place to get to know one another, exchange ideas, and build community.
Each month, we’ll feature a brief, informal spotlight such as a faculty project, a new global initiative, or an
international guest on campus to spark conversation. The heart of the gathering, however, is the conversation itself: time to talk, listen, make connections, and learn what others across campus are doing. It is held
from 3-5pm on the Seattle Campus at the UW Club.
Light food/snacks and beverages will be…
