Will green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? "Clean" technologies and renewable energy are certainly growing sites of capitalist investment, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk, Thea Riofrancos (Providence College) will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium, a so-called "critical mineral" essential for its role in decarbonizing one of the most polluting sectors: transportation.
With forecasters predicting an enormous surge in lithium demand, exceeding existing supplies, Global North governments and downstream firms scramble to "secure" lithium, resulting in a new state-corporate alliance and the return of vertical integration. Meanwhile, Global Sou…

Join us in welcoming visiting author and scholar Jacob Daniels, discussing his new book, The Jews of Edirne: The End of the Ottoman Europe and the Arrival of Borders.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the city of Edirne was a bustling center linking Istanbul to Ottoman Europe. It was also the capital of Edirne Province—among the most religiously diverse regions of the Ottoman Empire. But by 1923, the city had become a Turkish border town, and the province had lost much of its non-Muslim population. With this book, Jacob Daniels explores how one of the world's largest Sephardi communities dealt with the encroachment of modern borders.
Daniels will give a short presentation and will then be joined by Canan Bolel, Assistant Professor in Jewish Cultures, Languages, and Literatures of the Eastern Mediterranean, for a lively conversation and Q&A.
Jacob Daniels is Assistant Professor of Instruction and Assistant Director of the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. He…

"Spatially Resolved Ultrafast Dynamics of Two-Dimensional Materials Probed by Time-Resolved Photoemission Electron Microscopy"
Associate Professor Zhi Heng Loh - School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Host: Munira Khalil
The application of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to optoelectronics requires a detailed understanding of their elementary carrier dynamics. In this talk, I will present some results obtained from our investigations of TMDs using femtosecond time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (TR-PEEM). In 1L-WSe2, TR-PEEM imaging uncovers spatially heterogeneous dynamics within a single flake. Notably, the edges exhibit faster intervalley electron scattering and slower exciton–exciton annihilation compared to the interior. In wrinkled multilayer MoS2, TR-PEEM and nonadiabatic ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal faster sub-picosecond electronic relaxation in wrinkled regions, driven by enhance…

At “God’s” command, “Death” summons “Everybody” to go on the long and difficult journey to give a presentation to “God” on Everybody’s life and why they have lived it the way that they have. Everybody wants to bring along a friend, and Death says it’s fine if Everybody can find someone to volunteer. Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Branden Jacob Jenkins based the play on the 15th century morality play, Everyman. Professor Chi-wang Yang directs this production in which each night the performers’ roles will be determined by a lottery to determine which role will be played by which performer. Everybody reveals to us the value of our relationships and how to live with intention amid uncertainty.

“From Mice to Men: Translating murine macrophage biology to ARDS therapeutics” Research Overview
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical disease marked by respiratory failure due to disruption of the epithelial and endothelial barrier, flooding of the alveolar compartment with protein-rich fluid and recruitment of neutrophils into the alveolar space. It affects approximately 200,000 patients annually in the USA and results in about 75,000 deaths, and in select cases, anti-inflammatory approaches have a modest benefit. Given the limited therapeutic options, there remains an urgent need to understand ARDS pathobiology to develop novel therapeutics to hasten ARDS resolution.
To address this need, my lab focuses on understanding novel determinants of reparative macrophage polarization and their functional roles in ARDS resolution. Macrophages, particularly reparative ones…

"Photoactivated biological functions: Bridging Electronic Excitations to Functional Response through Multiscale Simulations"
Professor Benedetta Mennucci - Department of Chemistry, University of Pisa
Host: Xiaosong Li
Living organisms across all domains of life rely on specialized light-sensitive proteins to detect and respond to light. Although these systems adopt diverse molecular strategies, they share a common triggering event: the electronic excitation of a chromophoric unit embedded within the protein. This initial excitation is subsequently converted into different forms of energy and propagated through the system, ultimately leading to a biological response. The underlying processes span multiple spatial and temporal scales, ranging from ultrafast electronic dynamics localized on the chromophoric unit to much slower, large-scale conformational changes of the protein matrix. Here, a multiscale computational framework is presented t…

"New Chemistry from Microbial Genomes"
Professor Bo Li - Department of Chemistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Host: Lauren Rajakovich
Drugs with origins in microbial small molecules increased both average human life span and quality of life. Microbial genomes harbor many gene clusters dedicated to the biosynthesis of bioactive small molecules; most of these clusters remain uncharacterized. My research group discovers new chemistry from bacterial genomes. We study cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters and identify bioactive small molecules. For example, we identified several antimicrobial and cytotoxic small molecules produced by the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Defining the biosynthetic pathway of these molecules yielded new enzymes for biocatalysis and synthetic biology. Our work also revealed previously unknown bacterial molecules that affect the health of human hosts.

SHACS: Derek Houston, PhD - Input and Parent-Child Interaction Factors in the Development of Spoken Language in Children who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing
Most research on spoken language development in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing has, understandably, focused on auditory access and speech perception. However, speech perception accounts for less than 25% of variance in language outcomes. Like typically hearing children, language outcome of children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing depends on their ability to make meaning of the auditory input they receive during social interactions with caregivers. Four years ago, I proposed a conceptual framework that asserted that variability in outcomes depended on the total language input that is accessible, attended to, and coordinated with children’s attention during social interactions (Houston, 2022). In this talk, I will use this framework to organize findings from my lab and others toward a growing but far-from-complete understanding of how many input and parent-child interaction factors contribute to variability in language outcomes in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing.

Sea Change Within Us: Presented by Karin Stevens Dance
Sea Change Within Us, a recreated 2019 project by Karin Stevens Dance, is a sixty-minute performance that addresses local Washington state water issues and the consequences of climate change, using the voices of real people we interviewed, combined with moving rigid structures of water images by dancing human bodies.
Eight dancers move four large panels into dynamic configurations to explore themes such as rivers and dams, endangered wild Pacific salmon and Southern Resident Orca, melting ice, sea-level rise, flooding, migration, injustices to Indigenous fishing rights, divisive politics, and the complexities of human dis/re/connection. Amid these turbulent thematic layers, grief is embodied in the “Rivers, Dams, Salmon, Orca” section through the actual cries of mother orca Tahlequah. A call to collective awareness emerges in the section “Descending Pressure,” echoing the repeated phrase of a climate activist-artist: “Our bodies are a source of wisdom.”

In degraded landscapes, supporting climate adaptation for aquatic species and their habitats will require deploying diverse management actions in order to reduce the amplification effects of climate change. In the upper watersheds of the Eastern Cascade Mountains, wildfire suppression has increased forest density, drought susceptibility, and high severity burns. The area’s rivers are also drought vulnerable, with 75% of surface flow dependent upon snowpack. We asked whether forest thinning techniques designed to support wildfire resilience also confer hydrologic resilience through forest-snow processes, and implemented a gradient of forest thinning treatments across which we tracked snowpack response. In thinning treatments, we observed a 30% increase in snowpack storage on north-facing slopes, and a 16% increase in snowpack storage on south-facing slopes, thus indicating that wildfire treatments also support hydrologic processes.

FOOD SYSTEMS SEMINAR: Reimagining Nutrition Assistance: Future Directions for Food Security Policy
Reimagining Nutrition Assistance: Future Directions for Food Security Policy
Speaker:
Katie Rains, director, Food Systems Initiatives, Washington State Department of Agriculture, 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. Check MyPlan for location information.
