In this guided workshop, you will receive tips and a shared, guided document to help you and your team take the first crucial steps toward creating strategy for dealing with your PDF backlog: inventory and assessment. It's much easier to create a long-term plan for handling the challenges posed by PDFs if you build a deeper awareness of how many you have, how they were created, and the purpose they serve. Inventorying and assessing your existing PDF backlog can also help you make informed choices about appropriate alternatives to PDFs in future workflow decisions. Please note: This is a strategy workshop, so we won't be covering how to remediate PDFs or demonstrating tools.

"Structure-Optoelectronic Property Relationships in Ternary and Quaternary Copper-(Zinc)-Indium Chalcogenide Quantum Dots."
Professor Colin Heyes - Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Arkansas
Host: Tristan Shi
Ternary I-III-VI quantum dots (QDs), such as CuInE2 (E= S, Se) have unique optical properties for a wide range of applications, including bioimaging, photovoltaics and optoelectronics with the added advantage of being less toxic and less environmentally problematic than alternative QDs. As with most QDs, the optical properties are significantly improved by the addition of a “shell” usually consisting of a wide bandgap II-VI material, such as ZnE. However, a blue shift in the emission spectra is observed upon shelling, rather than the typical red-shift observed in other QDs, which results from some degree of ion exchange and/or interfacial alloying in addition to shelling. This process leads to a mixture of ternary and quaternary composition that is still poorly understood. The de…

Grrrilda Beausoleil is turning 50.
All she wants is a reunion with her 1990s riot grrrl band—the one she abandoned just as they were about to make it big.
With a scrappy film crew documenting the journey, she navigates old wounds, new-age platitudes, and a San Francisco transformed by tech and displacement.
The band must decide whether they can trust Grrrilda again—and whether their DIY roots of wheat paste, stickers, and zines can still build community in a digital age.
Dubbed “SPINAL TAP with BIPOC and queers” by the Chicago Reader, the film is a hilarious improvised mockumentary that treats comedy as activism.
At its heart, the production centers LGBTQ community building across generations—reconciling past and present, passing the mic, and finding solidarity through creativity.

Psychology Edwards Seminar with Dr. Courtney Heldreth, Senior Staff User Experience Researcher & Manager, Google
Beyond the Algorithm: A Socio-Technical Approach to Advancing Equitable AI and Student Learning, Dr. Courtney Heldreth, Senior Staff User Experience Researcher & Manager, Google
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in the fabric of daily life and education, the technical challenges of optimization are becoming inseparable from the psychological and social contexts they inhabit. For social psychologists, this shift represents a critical inflection point: AI systems are not neutral tools but are deeply embedded in social systems of power, identity, and learning. This talk argues that achieving equitable AI requires moving beyond purely algorithmic fixes to adopt a socio-technical approach—one that centers social psychological methods to understand and mitigate human impact. Drawing on my research at Google Research, I will present three distinct projects that demonstrate why behavioral science is essential to the future of AI. By integrating social psychology into the heart of AI…

"Leveraging radical enzymology towards novel peptide architectures"
Professor Vahe Bandarian - Department of Chemistry, University of Utah
Host: Lauren Rajakovich
Abstract: Cyclic and polycyclic peptides are of considerable interest as therapeutic agents because the conformational restriction resulting from macrocyclization ensure specificity and resistance to proteolytic degradation. However, assembly of polymacrocyclic structures is often challenging because of the necessity for multi-step syntheses involving orthogonal protecting groups. In this presentation, a scalable, radical-mediated enzyme process for catalyzing formation of thioether crosslinks across a broad spectrum of peptide substrates is discussed.

“Levers of Mastery” Community Lecture
Abstract
Universities teach many cognitive skills designed to launch students into career competence. But how does one move from competence to mastery? What skills must be developed for a career to become a true vocation?
In this lecture, sculptor, master stonemason and CEE Burges Visiting Professor Richard Rhodes reflects on what art and sculpture can teach engineers and architects. How do we nurture creativity, intuition and somatic intelligence to produce masterful work? Drawing on his own career at the intersection of engineering and art, Rhodes investigates the winding path toward mastery.
About the speaker
Richard Rhodes is a professional sculptor, master stonemason and scholar of stonework whose career bridges art, craft and the built environment.

Literary Translator Lecture: Tiffany Tsao, "Beyond Novelty and Exoticism: Taking the Long View in Translating Indonesian Literature "
Tiffany Tsao will discuss the challenges of translating Indonesian literature in the context of a publishing industry that has tended to value Indonesian works more for their “Indonesianness” than their literary value. Catering to a readership interested specifically in the history, culture, and living conditions of Indonesia has some near-term benefits, but does this approach do Indonesian writing a disservice over the long term? She will discuss, more specifically, how this state of affairs has shaped the decisions she has made as a translator – from the works she has chosen to translate, to her approach to the translation process itself.
Tiffany Tsao’s translations of Indonesian literature have received the PEN Translation Prize, the Republic of Consciousness Prize, and a longlisting for the International Booker Prize. She is also the author of The Majesties (2018) and But Won’t I Miss Me (2026), and Deputy Editor at the Sydney Review of Books.

FOOD SYSTEMS SEMINAR: Understanding U.S. Nutrition Assistance Programs: SNAP, WIC, School Meals, and Food Banks
Understanding U.S. Nutrition Assistance Programs: SNAP, WIC, School Meals, and Food Banks
Speaker:
Michele Ver Ploeg, former chief, Food Assistance branch, Food Economics Division, USDA Economic Research Service; senior fellow, National Center for Food and Agricultural Policy, This session is offered as part of the weekly series on: "Food and Nutrition Security: Understanding, Measuring and Reimagining Nutrition Assistance in the U.S." If you care about how food-related safety nets succeed—or fail—this seminar offers tools to understand today’s landscape and imagine a better one.
How is food and nutrition security defined, measured, and funded in the United States—and how do those choices shape real‑world hunger and health?
This seminar explores the nation’s major nutrition assistance programs—SNAP, WIC, school meals, and the charitable food system. Learn how these programs work, who they reach, and why their impacts vary across states and communities. All UW students, faculty, and staff are welcome to…

Presenter: Yasmine Gomez, GWSS PhD Student
Moderator: Royalti Richardson, GWSS PhD Student
Framed by her upcoming candidacy exams, this presentation introduces Yasmine’s doctoral research on borderland feminisms. Fronteras Embrujadas interrogates the contested boundaries of Tejana activism, cultural production, and collective memory to examine the current political moment in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
This research examines how borderland identities are negotiated through ongoing methods of state-sanctioned violence/surveillance through technocolonialism and spaces of detainment, while looking to Tejana Speculative archives to reconceptualize the radical position of place in activism.
Further, this work considers the role of global borderlands in developing contemporary transnational feminist archives of solidarity that center anti-extractivism as core principles of feminist activism movement.

SHACS: Nikolai Dembrow, PhD - Cell-type-specific differences in excitatory neurons across auditory, associative, and motor cortices in non-human primates
It has long been known that the cerebral cortex is not a uniform structure. The cellular composition, cytoarchitecture, and connectivity vary across auditory, motor, and prefrontal regions. Single-cell RNA sequencing has extended these regional variations to the level of individual neurons: cortical areas share common cell types, but those cell types show regional differences in gene expression. How these specializations contribute to local computation remains poorly understood. This talk presents recent work bridging this gap in primates, focusing on excitatory pyramidal neurons, which possess elaborate dendritic arbors through which they receive and integrate synaptic input. Using Patch-seq, a methodology that simultaneously captures the transcriptome, physiology, and morphology of individual neurons, we examine how gene expression differences relate to the morpho-electric properties of these cells in macaque neocortex. Identifying which properties are conserved versus divergent between rodents and primates…

Abstract
In July 2025, three AI systems independently achieved gold-medal standard at the International Math Olympiad. One of them, Harmonic's Aristotle, did it by constructing formal proofs in the Lean proof assistant. Six months later, several AIs working together used Lean to solve an open problem posed by Paul Erdős. We may soon live in a strange world where AI is better at math than any human expert.
Lean and tools like it bridge two worlds: mathematicians use them to formalise theorems, but engineers use them to prove that code behaves correctly. This second use, formal verification, has a long history and a few notable successes in cryptography, operating systems, and parser security. But these successes have always been limited by the sheer difficulty of the mathematical reasoning they require.
Now, AI may be changing this picture. If mathematical reasoning is cheap, we could eliminate entire classes of bugs from systems at scale, guarantee that safety-critical code behaves as intended, or verify au…

From Food Stamps to SNAP: A Political and Social History
Speaker:
Tracy Roof, associate professor, political science, University of Richmond, This session is offered as part of the weekly series on: "Food and Nutrition Security: Understanding, Measuring and Reimagining Nutrition Assistance in the U.S." If you care about how food-related safety nets succeed—or fail—this seminar offers tools to understand today’s landscape and imagine a better one.
How is food and nutrition security defined, measured, and funded in the United States—and how do those choices shape real‑world hunger and health?
This seminar explores the nation’s major nutrition assistance programs—SNAP, WIC, school meals, and the charitable food system. Learn how these programs work, who they reach, and why their impacts vary across states and communities. All UW students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend the seminar.

Join us for a talk on Elizabeth E. Imber’s award-winning new book: Uncertain Empire: Jews, Nationalism, and the Fate of British Imperialism
Following the British takeover of Ottoman Palestine, Jews across the British world found themselves at the center of global political debate. This talk explores the complex relationship among British Imperial policy, Zionism, and emerging movements of national self-determination from 1917 to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In doing so, it shows how the trajectory of British rule became central to Zionist and broader Jewish political thought during a period marked by profound urgency and uncertainty.
Elizabeth E. Imber is Associate Professor of History and the Michael and Lisa Leffell Chair in Modern Jewish History at Clark University.

This special performance from Yo-Yo Ma pairs repertoire from the center of his musical firmament with reflections on how it has shaped his thinking about art, human nature and our search for meaning.
"I believe that art, music and the humanities help us fulfill unwritten contracts. They help us sympathize with the human condition and examine how we relate to one other. They help us receive the wisdom of the past, they help us understand today’s problems, and they empower us to imagine a better world." — Yo-Yo Ma.

Survivors and the Stars
Join LiveWell and the UW Planetarium for a special gathering designed for survivors of sexual violence (all are welcome though)!
Stories are one of the oldest ways humans have sought to understand themselves and the world. The stories we tell ourselves and live by, the ones we tell each other, the ones that weave together to create culture – stories are incredibly powerful, especially for survivors of sexual violence. Join us as we explore the representation of survivors of sexual assault in mythology, comparing how different versions of the same story have vastly different impacts. We will use these myths to examine our own stories, and how they have the power to shift our response and our healing. Afterwards, enjoy the UW Planetarium’s breathtaking star show as it carries you throughout the night sky while listening to peaceful, healing music.
Whether you’re a survivor, a supporter, or simply someone who believes in the power of community and care–you are welcome to join us for this evening! Limited spots…
