University of Washington joins the Big Ten Conference UW (University of Washington) 2024-09-12 | Welcome to the University of Washington, where innovation meets tradition in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. As we join the Big Ten, we’re bringing with us a rich history of academic excellence, groundbreaking research, and a passion for pushing boundaries. From our stunning Seattle campus nestled between mountains and waterways to our world-renowned faculty and diverse student body, there's so much to discover about what makes the UW a leader in education and a powerhouse in athletics.

This stretchy, wearable device lights up an LED using only the warmth of your skin UW (University of Washington) 2024-09-09 | UW researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. One of the drawbacks of fitness trackers and other wearable devices is that their batteries eventually run out of juice, but in the future, wearable technology could use body heat to power itself. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times. Mohammad Malakooti, a University of Washington assistant professor of mechanical engineering, was a senior author of the project.
UW astronomy undergrads launch careers in coding UW (University of Washington) 2024-09-05 | Is there a ninth planet in our solar system or an asteroid heading toward Earth? Find out how University of Washington astronomy undergrads are using their Python coding skills to predict future discoveries — and prepare for future careers.Learn about their work: https://www.uw.edu/boundless/decoding-the-universe-diracIn this video, hear from Husky STEM majors about the benefits of doing hands-on research as undergraduates — and how the UW is at the forefront of data astronomy. Today’s astronomy is a high-tech science, so students need skills in computer science and programming along with math and physics. The students’ class projects and research findings will help scientists at the UW’s Institute for Data Intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology (DiRAC) when a revolutionary new telescope comes online in 2025. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s telescope will produce the most comprehensive survey of the night sky, capturing millions of changes in stars, galaxies, asteroids, planets and more. This database will require algorithms to sift through the billions of bits of information — and that’s what these future astronomers are learning to create.How the UW's DiRAC and the Rubin Observatory are uncovering "Secrets of the "Stars": https://www.uw.edu/boundless/dirac-rubin-observatory Learn more about DiRAC: https://dirac.astro.washington.eduLearn more about the Vera C.

Who mosquitoes bite - with UW biology professor Jeff Riffell UW (University of Washington) 2024-06-04 | Research has shown that hungry female mosquitoes find us by following a trail of scent cues, including chemicals exuded by our skin and sweat, as well as the carbon dioxide gas we exhale with each breath. Mosquitoes also like and dislike certain colors.Jeffrey Riffell, a UW professor of biology, studies mosquito sensory systems, particularly their sense of smell. He and his team want to understand how mosquitoes find food, whether it be males -- who drink nectar -- or females, who drink blood when they are trying to produce eggs.More here: https://www.washington.edu/news/2024/06/03/mosquito-video/

Navy Growler jet noise could impact peoples health according to UW research UW (University of Washington) 2024-05-09 | Bob Wilbur knows what it's like to live near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island - it can be extremely noisy.

How changing snow can affect predators and prey UW (University of Washington) 2023-12-18 | As climate change warms the planet, the consistency of snow — how fluffy it is, or where it is — could change. Laura Prugh, a wildlife ecologist and University of Washington associate professor in the School of Environmental & Forest Sciences, wants to know how these changing conditions will affect how predators hunt prey. She teamed up with Jessica Lundquist, a UW professor of civil and environmental engineering. Together with a group of researchers, they looked at where prey would get stuck in deep snow but predators would not. In a recent study, they defined danger zones for ten predator-prey pairs in both the Methow Valley and Denali National Park in Alaska.

At the Institute for Protein Design, Nobel Prize winner David Baker, Lukas Milles and Joseph Watson use it every single day, and in this video they break down the process of designing new custom proteins with AI. They discuss what proteins actually are, the challenge of getting the right "fold" and how artificial intelligence can be used to solve very real human problems, from disease to pollution and more.
UWs Judy Bowes aims to reduce fatal bird collisions on campus UW (University of Washington) 2023-11-17 | To address the problem of bird fatalities when they fly into glass surfaces like windows, a team of volunteers at the University of Washington walk the campus daily. It's part of Bird Friendly UW, a project led by College of Built Environments Ph.D. researcher Judy Bowes. The goals: Count the number of bird-building collisions on campus, provide recommendations about bird-safe design to UW architects, and educate the community about the harm that transparent and reflective glass presents to wildlife. They find only about 10% of the more than 10,000 birds that collide with campus buildings each year, estimates based on Bird Friendly UW’s collision data from last year and formulas that predict yearly loss that have been developed by other researchers in the field. Nationally, estimates range in the hundreds of millions.

The UWs Presidential Scholarship UW (University of Washington) 2023-08-24 | Each year, the University of Washington reviews thousands of applications from students who want to pursue their undergraduate studies at the state’s flagship university. From this pool, the UW recognizes a handful of students who already exemplify the Husky spirit of leadership, empathy and community enrichment. These students are named Presidential Scholars, and they are recognized to become future leaders. Presidential Scholars receive $10,000 per undergraduate academic year and participate in a special leadership development program throughout their UW experience. In addition to their UW diploma, Presidential Scholars also receive a certificate in leadership. There’s no application; admissions officials select these distinguished students from the application pool based on their values, rather than their academic accolades or financial need. Sometimes, student’s applications stand out on their own; other times, the UW hears about students from community leaders throughout the state including elected officials, school principals, district superintendents and heads of non-profit agencies. The scholarship is open to all Washington residents. https://www.washington.edu/presidentialscholarship/
