Lecture:

Amit will share how the world’s most innovative companies think about product, customers, and long-term value, and how founders can adopt those mindsets early, without slowing themselves down.
Rather than theory, the talk focuses on real frameworks used in Big Tech such as Amazon’s PR/FAQ, Google's design sprints, and Meta’s Move fast approach, and product excellence patterns across multiple companies to help founders avoid common early-stage traps around prioritization, execution, and scaling.
The goal is simple: help startups think beyond the MVP and build products that are resilient, customer-driven, and designed to scale borrowing the DNA of Big Tech without inheriting its bureaucracy. Speaker:

Premiered by The Seattle Symphony in 2006, the piece draws inspiration from two sacred Coast Salish songs Hilbert had entrusted to the composer and features a number of percussion instruments native to this region.

The production and promotion of so-called "AI" technology involves dehumanization on many fronts: the computational metaphor valorizes one kind of cognitive activity as “intelligence,” devaluing many other aspects of human experience while taking an isolating, individualistic view of agency, ignoring the importance of communities and webs of relationships. Meanwhile, the purpose of humans is framed as being labelers of data or interchangeable machine components. Data collected about people is understood as "ground truth" even while it lies about those people, especially marginalized people. In this talk, Bender will explore these processes of dehumanization and the vital role that the humanities have in resisting these trends by painting a deeper and richer picture of what it is to be human.

Designing the Accelerated Quantum Supercomputer: AI‑First, Real‑Time Required, Abstract: Quantum computing is often framed as a hardware challenge, but the next breakthroughs will come from the fusion of AI, advanced systems software, and real‑time quantum–classical integration. As quantum processors scale, the bottlenecks shift: calibration becomes a data problem, decoding becomes an AI problem, and system performance becomes a real‑time orchestration problem. This talk will explore how accelerated emulation, AI‑driven calibration and decoding, and ultra‑low‑latency quantum–classical links are redefining what a quantum computer is. These capabilities enable rapid iteration, higher‑quality qubits, and system‑level designs that were previously out of reach, opening the door to architectures that can genuinely scale. By examining the emerging blueprint of an accelerated quantum supercomputer, we will look at the key requirements for building such systems—from real‑time control to heterogeneous acceleration—and…

HLS26 | Taking Hostages and Prisoners: Incarceration in Medieval Europe | Charity Urbanski
The phrase “medieval incarceration” usually conjures images of prisoners condemned to a damp dungeon and forgotten, but this was rarely the reality. Prisoners were often nobles who ran afoul of the king, disobedient monks, or wealthy people who could afford to pay a ransom, and the conditions in which they were held normally reflected their social status. This lecture explores the wide variety of carceral practices in medieval Europe and examines how the recovery of Roman law and the concept of the state in the twelfth century began to transform those practices.

Douglass Day is an annual transcribe-a-thon program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, sites across the country gather thousands of people to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. A transcribe-a-thon is an event in which a group of people work together to transcribe a collection of digitized historical materials. The primary goal of a transcribe-a-thon is to make the materials more easily accessible, but these events also serve to promote awareness of parts of Black history – and especially Black women’s history – that remain too-little-known.
Douglass Day invites people from all backgrounds to join in this effort to make these histories more widely accessible and searchable. No previous experience with transcription is required to join us. During this event, we will stream national Douglass Day celebrations including speakers, songs, and more. The experience of taking part in a transcribe-a-thon can transform us from consumers of history into kn…

Fundamentals For Startups: Panel- Beyond VC: the Non‑Dilutive Founder’s Path
Please register for this event on our Luma calendar.
Lecture:
Venture capital isn’t the only road to building a successful company- and for many founders, it’s not even the best one. Beyond VC: the Non‑Dilutive Founder’s Path brings together entrepreneurs who have grown and scaled their startups through alternative funding strategies that preserve ownership, autonomy, and long‑term vision.
In this candid panel discussion, you’ll hear firsthand how founders leveraged tools like revenue‑based financing, grants, customer‑funded growth, strategic partnerships, and creative bootstrapping to build resilient, profitable businesses. They’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons they learned while forging their own path outside the traditional VC track. Speaker:

In 1942, the US government incarcerated more than 120,000 Japanese Americans in concentration camps, based on the racist argument that they were likely “disloyal” to the United States. In the ensuing years of World War II, the US government simultaneously sought to demonstrate the “loyalty” of Japanese Americans to American democracy. By placing US wartime policies and Japanese American responses in different historical contexts, this lecture will interrogate the meanings of loyalty, democracy, and national security—during World War II and in our own time.

SHACS: Emily Knight, MD, PhD - Visuospatial attentional influences on multi-talker speech recognition in autism and ADHD
Many children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), experience difficulty understanding speech in multi-talker environments, with downstream consequences for learning and social participation. Effective speech perception in noisy environments depends upon interactions between auditory and visual perception and top-down cognitive processes. We present findings from a virtual reality (VR)–EEG study of children with ADHD or ASD compared to neurotypical development, demonstrating reduced audiovisual speech benefits and atypical allocation of visuospatial attention to target speakers, indexed by steady-state visual evoked potentials. Second, we describe the design and exploratory evaluation of a VR-based training game aimed at supporting attention and audiovisual integration, balancing mechanistic fidelity with child-centered engagement. Together, these studies motivate a theoretical framework in which disrupted selective…

Join us for a Roundtable on Greenland Today on February 19th at 4:30 in THO 101.
Greenland is an autonomous and self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark which is a NATO ally and member of the European Union. Ninety percent of Greenland’s citizens are Inuit, and they are also citizens of Denmark. Under the second Trump administration the United States has aggressively sought to acquire Greenland with President Trump threatening the use of force against a NATO ally and an Indigenous population. Denmark has said it will invoke NATO’s Article 5 provisions and the European Union’s 42.7 mutual assistance clause if attacked, which would lead to a rupture in the trans-Atlantic alliance, and Greenlanders are actively discussing EU membership. American threats to Greenland's sovereignty have provoked a crisis for Greenlanders, for the transatlantic NATO alliance, and the European Union, and from Inuit organizations internationally while changes in the Arctic environment due to climate change are also impact…

Please register for this event on our Luma calendar.
Lecture:
Most ideas don’t fail because they lack funding, or ambition. They fail because they are built on assumptions about people.
Human-Centered Design (HCD) is a research-backed method that reduces risk early by shifting focus from finding the right solution to asking better questions. It uses empathy to learn directly from the people you aim to serve, instead of guessing stakeholder needs.
This 60-minute lecture introduces Human-Centered Design as a practical tool for moving ideas forward with clarity, whether you are launching a startup, translating research into impact, or shaping a new program inside an organization. Empathy is no longer a “soft skill". It is your strategic team-member.
The lecture is intentionally designed for a mixed audience: founders and early startup teams , researchers and scientists exploring real-world application , students, public and first-time idea-makers , employees developing new initiatives within…

Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to move in nature at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that the practice lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
During this class the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world. Come discover the medicine of being in the forest.
