"Spectroscopy of Molecular Aggregates in Helium Droplets."
Professor Gary E. Douberly - Department of Chemistry, Washington State University
Host: Anne McCoy
The first beam of helium droplets was reported in the 1961 paper Strahlen aus kondensiertem Helium im Hochvakuum by Von E. W. Becker and co-workers [1]. However, molecular spectroscopy of helium-solvated dopants wasn't realized until 30 years later in the laboratories of Scoles and Toennies [2,3].
It has now been over three decades since this early, seminal work on doped helium droplets, yet the field of helium droplet spectroscopy remains fresh with significant potential for addressing a diverse set of problems in molecular science. Analogous in many ways to cryogenic matrix isolation spectroscopy, the helium droplet is an ideal environment to spectroscopically probe difficult to prepare molecular species, such as radicals, carbenes and ions. The quantum nature of helium at 0.4 K often results in molecular spectra that are sufficiently resolved to…

Working on your thesis or dissertation in Google Docs? This session will introduce practical steps you can take to make your document more accessible as you write and format your work.
We’ll cover common accessibility considerations in Google Docs, including headings and document structure, links, tables, images and alt text, and other features commonly found in theses and dissertations. We’ll also demonstrate how to use Grackle Docs, an accessibility checker available at UW, to identify potential accessibility issues and guide you through fixing them.
The goal is to help you build accessibility into your document as you work, rather than trying to address everything at the end.
No previous accessibility experience is required. This event is free, and open to the UW community. A UW NetID is required for registration.

🏛️ HCDE Research Speaker Series: Mark Haselkorn, "Co-creating Digital Coordination Centers"
Join the UW Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering for a research talk with Professor Mark Haselkorn as part of the HCDE Research Speaker Series.
Co-creating Digital Coordination Centers
Digital Coordination Centers enhance the ability of functional communities to share data and work collaboratively on complex operations, despite the barriers of disconnected systems, uncoordinated databases, and diverse practices. Co-creating and maintaining these coordination centers requires designers and developers to operate in the sweet (yet difficult) spot of HCDE—the space between desired business functions and effective technology capabilities. This two-part presentation first describes the complexities and conditions that stimulated the co-design, co-build, and co-implementation of one of these centers, and then explores organizational tensions and the changing technology environment that make future efforts to create digital coordination centers even more challenging—and rewarding.

This year's Fundamentals for Startups series is proudly presented by Curinos.
Please register for this event on our Luma calendar. Elevators and doors open at 11:30 AM and will close promptly at 12:10 PM.
Lecture:
The most important job of a founder is getting your startup funded. Lots of the focus nowadays is on figuring out how to get money from private investors, typically venture capitalists. This talk will focus on another critical source of funds for many first-time founders — non-dilutive funding. We will do a quick survey of the sources of non-dilutive funding, discuss how it fits into a resilient capital strategy, and then do a deep dive on one of the biggest sources of non-dilutive funding in the US, the SBIR/STTR grant program, and how you can get started on your first grant.

"The thermosensory specializations of soil-transmitted parasitic nematodes" Research Overview
Soil-transmitted parasitic nematodes infect over a billion people, primarily in the world’s most socioeconomically disadvantaged communities, causing devastating and sometimes fatal illness. Despite this massive health burden, we lack basic knowledge about the sensory behaviors and physiological specializations that enable parasitic worms to locate and infect humans – processes that could be targets for novel therapeutic interventions.
Dr. Bryant has developed Strongyloides stercoralis, a human parasite that infects around 610 million people and can be fatal, as a powerful new organism for performing mechanistic studies of human parasitism and the evolution of sensory behaviors. The S. stercoralis nervous system is remarkably similar to that of the non-parasitic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with common identifiable cell types. Despite…

Public Lecture | Ethan Katz | The Paradoxes of Zionism: Israel and Palestine Beyond Polemics
Is Zionism a movement of national liberation or a story of colonialism and dispossession? Most public debate insists it has to be one or the other. This talk makes the case that it's both, and that treating it as an either/or question gets in the way of actually understanding Zionism's history, its current crisis, and its possible futures. Drawing on history that ranges from French Algeria to the broader question of Jewish nationalism, this talk will ask whether Zionism should be seen as an exceptional case or as part of larger histories of liberation, nationalism, and colonialism since the late 19th century. By reframing Zionism in a series of wider contexts, the talk clarifies the stakes of the existential choices currently facing Israel and Palestine.
The talk also offers a preview of speaker Ethan Katz's current book project, "Unsettling Histories: Zionism and Colonialism Reconsidered," forthcoming from Princeton University Press.
Ethan Katz is Associate Professor of History at UC-Berkeley, where…

We invite you to join an upcoming webinar, The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Accessibility, hosted by AiiCE on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, from 11:30 am-12:30 pm Pacific/2:30-3:30 pm Eastern.
Digital accessibility has come a long way—but how did we get here, where do things stand today, and what comes next? This session will trace the evolution of digital accessibility through three questions: How did we get here? (the past); Where are we now? (the present); and Where do we go from here? (the future). Along the way, we’ll explore the technologies, standards, laws, and changing expectations that have shaped the field—and consider the emerging trends and opportunities that could define its next chapter.

Inorganic Chemistry Seminar: Prof. Chung-Wei Kung
"Electrochemistry Meets Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) – Roles of Electrochemically Inactive Frameworks"
Professor Chung-Wei Kung - Department of Chemical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan
Host: Dianne Xiao
The development of clean energy has gained more and more attention in recent years, and electrochemical technologies play an important role in a range of clear-energy applications. The design and synthesis of highly active electrode materials, namely, the active thin film modified on the electrode surface that can facilitate the desired electrochemical reaction, are thus crucial for the development of high-performance electrochemical devices toward energy and environmental applications. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs), are thus highly attractive for electrochemical systems owing to their ultrahigh specific surface area, tunable pore structure in the molecular scale, and tunable chemical functionality within the nanopores. However, the…

Weston T. and Sheila Borden Endowed Lecture in Theoretical Chemistry
"Exploring the CH Stretch Spectral Region with Local Mode Hamiltonians"
Professor Emeritus Ned Sibert - Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Host: Anne McCoy
The CH spectral region has often been assumed to be so congested and plagued with resonant interactions that there is little information or conformational content to be gleaned from the spectra. We have recently challenged this assumption. A key to our success has been the ability of the Zwier group to obtain conformer specific vibrational spectra at low temperatures. These spectra have been used to obtain empirical scaling factors that, when applied to our density functional based model Hamiltonians, lead to results that allow one to fully extract the information embedded in the molecular spectra. We have developed this Hamiltonian, which has Huckel-like simplicity, to understand the spectroscopy of a broad range of molecules and clusters so that we can predict…

Interrogating Filiopietism: Redesigning and Reconstructing Academic Freedom for Our Time, Please join us for a lecture by Danielle Conway, President of the Association of American Law Schools.
Except for the intentional centering of the concept “filiopietism,” the words in the title of this talk are deceptively simple. Filiopietism—excessive or uncritical reverence for ancestors, forebears, and past traditions—is key to a discussion about redesigning and reconstructing academic freedom. Building on her 2027 AALS presidential theme, “Emancipate. Academic. Freedom.” Conway focuses most heavily on formal legal education’s past traditions, many of which remain as a part of modern-day law school. She asks important questions about who gets to enter our legal education institutions, who gets to speak in these institutions, who gets the benefit and protections of academic freedom, and who are silenced in these institutions.
In Conway’s exploration, going back to the past is not the answer—the goal is to bring…

Free and open to all. At the Jackson School, opportunities and events are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.
Malaysian-Taiwanese novelist Chang Kuei-hsing (b. 1956, publishes as Zhang Guixing) has spent decades doing for tropical Asia what Gabriel García Márquez did for Latin America: enchanting a land with a violent history. Set in a forgotten theater of World War II, The Crossing of the Boars (Ye zhu du he, 2018, rev. 2024) focuses on a small settler community on the border of the Bornean jungle that finds itself overrun, first by wild pigs and then by Japanese invaders. Released in English this year, Zhang’s novel dazzles with a labyrinthine mystery enmeshed in an ecological fantasia: ghostly colonists mating like guppies, macaques mirroring Japanese war criminals, bomber storks, ominous urinating porcupines, wildfire-igniting squirrels, man-eating crocodiles, and herd upon herd of insatiable bearded pigs.

"The Chemical Bond: A New Perspective"
Affiliate Professor Thom Dunning - Department of Chemistry, University of Washington
Host: Lutz Maibaum
Numerous studies have shown that undergraduate chemistry students, and even many chemistry graduate students, have misconceptions about the chemical bond.1 A striking example is the belief that the Octet Rule is responsible for the formation of chemical bonds. The misconceptions are due, in large part, to the difficulty associated with the unusual nature of quantum mechanics—the physics underlying the structure of atoms and molecules—which describes electrons as “clouds” not particles, and the difficulties this poses for teaching about chemical bonding.
In this presentation, we will provide an overview of a new perspective on the chemical bond that arises from the advances made by quantum chemists over the past thirty years. This new perspective is based on Spin-Coupled Generalized Valence Bond (SCGVB) theory,2,3 which addresses the most serious limitations of both…

When people talk about quantum computing, the focus is usually on a small set of well-known applications. But an equally interesting question is whether we’re asking the right questions in the first place. What kinds of problems might benefit from quantum approaches that we simply haven’t recognized yet?
This talk offers a brief introduction to the ideas behind quantum computing and a snapshot of where the field stands today. It then explores a broader challenge: discovering new applications by bringing together people who approach problems from very different perspectives. Researchers in fields ranging from chemistry and biology to public policy, history, literature, and religious studies may see opportunities that physicists and computer scientists overlook.
Not every problem will be a good fit for quantum computing. But expanding the conversation beyond the traditional quantum community may be one of the best ways to discover what these technologies will ultimately be useful for.
All disciplines welcome…

UW Global "Community Conversations"
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…
