Did you know that the UW has a gas plant on campus and is one of the largest polluters in Seattle? There are plans to get UW off fossil fuels, bring cooling to everyone on campus and create hundred of green union jobs - but without funding, these plans are stuck on paper.
Our Climate & Worker cohort is tackling this problem head on. After surveying campus workers and students, we learned that heat waves and buildings without cooling are making people sick, disrupting learning, reducing staff productivity, and ruining research experiments. Now, we're bringing those stories to key politicians and putting them in the hot seat.
Join us for a community assembly with WA Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen, who represents UW's district and will play a key role in determining if this critical project becomes a reality. Few people in Washington have more influence over how state funds are spent!

Lecture:
Is taking venture capital a “sign of success?” Dave’s answer would be absolutely not. In this session, entrepreneur, investor, and startup advisor Dave Parker challenges one of the most persistent myths in the startup world: that raising venture capital is the ultimate badge of honor. With decades of experience on both sides of the table, Dave lays out ten compelling, real-world reasons why VC funding might not be the right path for your startup– and how it can actually derail your vision, autonomy, and long-term success. Speaker:
Dave Parker is a serial entrepreneur based in Seattle with global experience. With over 20 years of experience as a Managing Partner at DKParker, a consulting firm that helps companies launch their go-to-market strategies, designing business and revenue models, and pricing, Dave is an expert in scaling up to exit!

Psychology Social & Personality Edwards Seminar with Jin X. Goh, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago
Racial Contrast, Jin X. Goh, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago
At the center of the SFFA v. Harvard Supreme Court case, the plaintiffs argued that Asian Americans were discriminated against in favor of unqualified Black applicants. This echoes a pattern of historical tensions between the Asian and Black communities. Why do Black and Asian Americans seem more at odds with each other than any other racial minority groups? This talk seeks to unravel the frayed relations between Asian and Black Americans by introducing a new theoretical framework called Racial Contrast Theory. I theorize that Asian Americans are contrasted against Black Americans through stereotypes and narratives. In essence, the creation of the Asian model minority myth serves as a direct contrast to Black stereotypes. The racial contrast between Asian and Black Americans ultimately maintains White supremacy and perpetuates anti-Blackness. Racial contrast theory offers a novel (re-)interpretation of extant social…

Since 2013, more than 5 billion sea stars have perished from “sea star wasting,” a mysterious disease that has devastated the iconic sunflower sea star and triggered cascading ecosystem impacts. With sunflower stars gone, purple sea urchins—unchecked grazers of kelp—exploded in number, leading to 90% declines in kelp forests, a critical temperate-zone habitat. At the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, Dr. Drew Harvell’s team has led groundbreaking research to uncover the cause of sea star wasting, work highlighted in The New York Times, while Dr. Jason Hodin’s team has successfully reared hundreds of sunflower stars in captivity, efforts featured on NBC’s Wild Kingdom. Together, they raise vital questions: what resources and talent are needed to sustain such research, what is the cost to our marine ecosystems if it falters, and what happens when funding is cut or international collaboration is blocked?

Analytical and Organic Chemistry Seminar: Prof. Rebecca Whelan
"Using bioanalytical chemistry to improve clinical outcomes of ovarian cancer."
Associate Professor Rebecca Whelan - Department of Chemistry, University of Kansas
Host: Daniel Chiu
Most cases of ovarian cancer are not caught until the cancer has spread beyond the ovary. For patients receiving a diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer, the survival prospects are grim: about 30% of patients survive five years after a diagnosis of metastatic ovarian cancer. If diagnosed in Stage I, however, ovarian cancer responds well to existing treatments, and the five-year survival rate exceeds 90%. This difference in survivorship with stage at diagnosis motivates ongoing work in the Whelan lab. We are bioanalytical chemists who use a diverse toolkit to confront the challenge of how to better understand and detect ovarian-cancer-specific proteins. In one line of investigation, we have optimized a rapid and low-cost method to isolate an ovarian cancer biomarker protein called CA125 from biofluids from patients; this isolation…

This talk reflects on years of archival research into the childhood and teenage writings of Black science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler. Growing up in the segregated landscape of Pasadena, California, young Octavia loved horses—her first “aliens”—which shaped her understanding of the legacies of slavery and racism as well as her environmental consciousness. As explored in the new book Octavia E. Butler: H is for Horse (2025), Butler’s teenage engagement with popular culture, including Westerns and comics, profoundly influenced her later science fiction works.
Chi-ming Yang is author of the new book, Octavia E. Butler: H is for Horse, about the childhood and teenage influences of late great sci-fi writer, Octavia E. Butler. Yang is also a Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, where she teaches 18th-century British poetry, animal studies, and histories of Orientalism, race, and empire.

Literary modernity did not always appear in book form, but as a periodical! Throughout the 20th century, literary and cultural production across much of Central, Western, and South Asia reached readers through the pages of periodicals. These periodicals–newspapers, magazines, and journals–housed a variety of literary forms ranging from serialized novels, to poetry, to short stories, alongside advertisements, comics, and photography.

In November 2020, Gurbaz Sangha, a young farmer from Punjab, embarked on a remarkable journey. Riding his tractor for 400 kilometres to Delhi, he joined forces with thousands, and later more than half a million, men and women from diverse backgrounds. Their united mission: to stand against the newly enacted Farm Laws, despite widespread opposition. Amid a COVID lockdown, these farmers-representing over half of India's workforce-vowed to remain at the borders until the laws were repealed.

Cost: $25
Advance registration required.

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.

[Virtual] Psychology Edwards Seminar with Lupita Gonzalez, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology, Purchase College SUNY
Beyond Innocence: Effects of Race, Gender, and Skin Tone on Perceptions of Exonerees, Lupita Gonzalez, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Psychology, Purchase College SUNY
In this talk, I will present our research which applied an intersectional framework to examine how multiple social identities influence perceptions of exonerees. Exonerees—individuals who are wrongfully convicted of a crime and later proved innocent—continue to experience stigma and lack support to reintegrate into society post-incarceration. Although research indicates that the race and gender of exonerees influences stigma, prior literature is limited since it usually examines social categories (e.g. race, gender) as separate variables that do not interact. To address this gap, we applied an intersectional framework to examine how interactions between race, gender, and skin tone influence perceptions and support for exonerees. I will present our findings from two studies in which participants were presented with news stories discussing the…

"How Did Life Begin on Early Earth?"
Professor Richard Zare - Department of Chemistry, Stanford University
Hosts: Bo Zhang and Daniel Chiu
When the Earth was first formed, it was too hot to support life as we know it. It cooled off and life began. How? The original gases on early Earth did not contain carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bonds, but these are needed to form amino acids, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA. How were they made? Since the landmark experiments by Miller and Urey, it has been proposed that lightning could play a crucial role in synthesizing life’s building blocks from abiotic molecules. Arguments have been offered against this hypothesis based on what is thought to be the composition of early Earth ‘s atmosphere, the fact that lightning is intermittent, and the reaction products might become too dispersed. We demonstrate that spraying room-temperature water droplets into a gas mixture containing nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ammonia (NH3) leads…
