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…

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. This month, we will have three guests join us to discuss their experiences and answer your questions about the UW Global Innovation Fund, which is launching shortly:

"The Effective Fragment Potential: A Gateway to Chemical Insight and High-Performance Computing"
Professor Mark Gordon - Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University
Host: Anne McCoy
The effective fragment potential (EFP) is an ab initio force field that is derived entirely from quantum mechanics with no empirically fitted parameters. Intermolecular interactions predicted by the EFP method are comparable in accuracy to that of second order perturbation theory (MP2) and close to that of coupled cluster (CC) theory. Combining the EFP method with the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method yields the effective fragment molecular orbital (EFMO) method, a highly accurate QM/MM fragmentation method that has been applied to molecular systems with tens of thousands of electrons and can therefore take advantage of the world’s most powerful (exascale) computers. Following a brief introduction to the EFP, FMO and EFMO methods, some interesting applications will be presented.

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. Reception to follow in THO 317. Keywords: Phule, Mukta Salave, Dhondiram Kumbhar, Tarabai Shinde, Satyashodhak Samaj, Caste, Gender, 19th Century, Maharashtra
About the talk
The American example of the end of Slavery inspired a number of social movements in India. Satyashodhak Samaj was one of them. It was a socio-cultural sect established in 1874 by Jotirao Phule and others, with a view to create a society based on the ideals of equality and justice. Engaging with the writings of Jotirao Phule, Mukta Salve, Dhondiram Kumbhar and Tarabai Shinde, the talk will try to connect the issues of discrimination based on caste and gender in the late nineteenth century Maharashtra and explore the ways in which the Satyashodhak Samaj offered to mitigate the challenges posed by the unequal social structure.

Join the UW Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering for a research talk with Professor Yi-Chieh Lee as part of the HCDE Research Speaker Series.
When AI Shapes Us: Understanding Conversational AI’s Influence on Well-Being and Agency
What impact does interacting with conversational AI (CAI) have on people's well-being, sense of self, and ability to pursue their own goals? When can these interactions provide meaningful support, and when might they diminish the agency of the individuals they aim to assist?
This talk presents a research program that investigates the social and psychological consequences of CAI. It brings together studies examining prosocial behavior toward AI and its effects on human well-being, how AI's expressed confidence and personality affect human self-confidence and self-concept, and the tensions related to autonomy and ownership in AI-assisted writing. The talk also addresses harmful behaviors associated with AI companionship. Together, these projects encourage exploration…

"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…

Join us for a screening of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Boys from Fengkuei (風櫃來的人 1983), a landmark work in the emergence of Taiwan New Cinema. The film follows a group of restless young men who leave their fishing village on the Penghu Islands for the port city of Kaohsiung, where new encounters with work, urban life, friendship, and desire mark their passage into adulthood. Through its attention to everyday rhythms, place, and the changing social landscape of 1980s Taiwan, The Boys from Fengkuei anticipates the cinematic style that would make Hou one of Taiwan’s most influential filmmakers.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with Beth Tsai (Film & Media Studies, Hunter College, CUNY) and James Tweedie (Cinema & Media Studies, University of Washington), exploring the film’s place in Hou’s career, Taiwan New Cinema, the histories and environments that shape its coming-of-age story, and how the film continues to speak to audiences today.

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.

Foege South Auditorium (Genome Sciences 060)
"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…

Join the Seattle 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…

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…
