SUMMARY:UW Science Now With Beatrice Milnes\, Sophia Chioma Chima\, and Kathleen Durkin
DESCRIPTION:Hear from UW students about research on tadpole tail regeneration\, the science of early immunity\, and how corals remember. \n\n\nHow Tadpoles Grow Back Their Tails: The Science of Regeneration\nBeatrice Milnes \nSome animals\, like tadpoles\, have an almost superpower-like ability to regrow lost body parts. When a tadpole loses its tail\, the injured area undergoes dramatic changes to create new healthy tissue through a process called regeneration. Immune cells are one of the cell types that change the most after injury and play an important role in how well the body is able to heal. If they are blocked from doing their job in tadpoles\, regeneration does not occur. By understanding how regeneration works in tadpoles\, scientists hope to one day apply these lessons to improve human medicine. \nBeatrice Milnes is a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Molecular and Cellular Biology program at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Her work studies tadpole tail regeneration\, specifically how metabolism influences immune responses after injury\, in the hopes of improving regenerative medicine strategies. Beatrice conducts her research in Dr. Andrea Wills’ lab in the Department of Biochemistry and the Institute for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine. Outside of lab\, Beatrice enjoys ceramics and exploring ancient history. \n\nSmall Beginnings\, Strong Defenses: The Science of Early Immunity\nSophia Chima \nJoin Sophia Chioma Chima\, a 3rd-year PhD candidate at the University of Washington\, to learn how scientists study pregnancy to help keep babies healthy before they’re even born. She will explain how the fetal immune system develops and how infections or early exposures can affect a baby’s long-term health. Sophia will also share practical insights on pregnancy health and highlight resources to help families and healthcare providers. You’ll get a peek at how discoveries in the lab can translate into real-world strategies to improve maternal and infant well-being. This talk is perfect for anyone curious about how research can make a difference in pregnancy and early-life health. \nI’m Sophia Chioma Chima\, a PhD candidate in the Pathobiology program at the School of Public Health\, University of Washington. I am also a Predoctoral Research Associate in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Research department. I study how the fetal immune system develops and responds to infections during pregnancy\, with the goal of improving maternal and infant health. I’m passionate about translating scientific discoveries into practical strategies and insights for families\, healthcare providers\, and the broader scientific community. \n\nHow Corals Remember\nKathleen Durkin \nHow corals make the most of their DNA to remember and respond to stressful events. \nKathleen Durkin is a PhD student in Aquatic and Fishery Sciences who is broadly interested in how important marine organisms respond to environmental stress under climate change. As an undergraduate at Harvey Mudd College\, she studied soft coral taxonomy and population genetics\, graduating in 2023 with a B.S. in Mathematical and Computational Biology. Her current research involves studying stress response through the lens of epigenetics — molecular features that can affect the body without altering the underlying DNA.

SUMMARY:UW Science Now With Haley Walk\, Ishaan Ambrish\, and Ralph Tayyar
DESCRIPTION:Hear from UW students about research on lowering emissions through community-centered actions\, how kids learn to talk about the space around them\, and the use of antibiotics on kidney patients. \n\n\nKeeping our Garden: Faithful Attention in a Warming World\nHaley Walk \nClimate change can feel overwhelming\, abstract\, and politically charged. But at its core\, it is also deeply personal\, shaped by the quiet\, repeated decisions we make every day about food\, energy\, clothing\, waste\, and convenience. \nIn Keeping Our Garden\, Haley Walk brings together climate science\, Christian theology\, and behavioral research to explore what faithful stewardship looks like in an era of rising greenhouse gases. Drawing on foundational climate concepts\, including carbon dioxide accumulation\, methane emissions\, and embedded carbon in consumer goods\, this talk translates complex science into accessible insight. Participants will learn how everyday consumption patterns contribute to global emissions\, and why many of the most impactful climate decisions occur long before a product reaches our hands. \nRooted in the biblical call to “tend and keep” the garden\, this project reframes climate action not as panic or perfection\, but as formation. Through the guiding metaphor of a daily “NEED vs. WANT” decision point\, Haley invites participants to consider how attention\, restraint\, and community-centered practices can reduce emissions while also cultivating intentional living. Practical examples\, from composting and reducing fast fashion to embracing Sabbath rhythms and secondhand purchasing\, illustrate how small\, sustained shifts can reshape both personal habits and collective systems. \nRather than offering a checklist of environmental rules\, Keeping Our Garden presents a hopeful\, grounded pathway: faithful attention as a climate response. Participants will leave with concrete tools\, research-backed guidance\, and a framework for choosing one meaningful shift that aligns their faith\, their values\, and the future of the planet. \nHaley Walk is a Master of Marine Affairs candidate at the University of Washington’s School of Marine and Environmental Affairs\, where she studies environmental policy and the legal implications of emerging conservation technologies. She previously worked as a Fisheries Observer in the Northwest Groundfish Fisheries Observing Program and currently serves as a Teaching Assistant for the Biology Program. Haley’s work focuses on bridging scientific research\, environmental governance\, justice\, and everyday practice. Through Keeping our Garden\, she brings together her academic training\, personal experience\, and past Christian faith to explore practical\, community-centered responses to climate change. \n\nLanguage\, Space\, and the Ways Kids Use Them\nIshaan Ambrish \nWe often use space as a way to help us understand and think about abstract concepts like time. As adults\, we use language to describe spatial concepts seamlessly\, but children have a harder time doing so. Additionally\, children who speak multiple languages may be exposed to different ways of describing spatial concepts in each of their languages\, which can then influence how they think about space. This talk explores how children learn to use spatial language and how communication with others can help foster spatial language use\, as well as upcoming research on how being bilingual may impact how children learn about spatial concepts. \nIshaan Ambrish is a 4th year PhD candidate at the Language\, Cognition\, and Development Lab at the University of Washington. He is interested in researching how language impacts the way we see the world and how knowing multiple languages influences this worldview. Outside of the lab\, you can find him biking on the Burke Gilman\, watching movies with friends\, and spending time with his cat Alice. \n\nWhen Silence Isn’t Harmless: Rethinking Antibiotics After Kidney Transplant\nRalph Tayyar \nAfter a kidney transplant\, bacteria in the urine are common\, especially in the first month. Even without symptoms\, many patients receive antibiotics out of concern for preventing serious infection. But growing evidence suggests that treating every positive test may not improve outcomes and may contribute to antibiotic resistance. In this talk\, Ralph Tayyar explores whether early treatment truly protects transplanted kidneys or unintentionally causes harm. Drawing on seven years of data from approximately 1\,400 transplant recipients\, he examines rejection\, infection\, and resistance outcomes. This presentation challenges the reflex to treat and invites a more thoughtful approach to antibiotic stewardship in vulnerable patients. \nRalph Tayyar is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Allergy & Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington Medical Center. He specializes in transplant infectious diseases and antimicrobial stewardship\, with a focus on improving outcomes for immunocompromised patients. His research examines how antibiotic practices influence transplant rejection\, infection risk\, and antimicrobial resistance. He leads clinical and quality improvement initiatives aimed at aligning real-world practice with evidence-based care. Ralph is committed to advancing responsible antibiotic use while protecting the long-term success of organ transplantation.

SUMMARY:UW Science Now With Maya Singh\, Deja Monet\, and AJ Mallory
DESCRIPTION:Hear from UW students about research on HIV medication\, prenatal hydrocephalus\, and how getting a good night’s sleep can help people learn new movements. \n\n\nA Simple Way to Measure Long-Term HIV Medication Levels\nMaya Singh \nPeople taking HIV medication\, either for prevention or treatment\, have to take medication every single day\, preventing the spread of HIV. However\, factors outside of their control\, such as resistance\, age\, sex\, and location in the world\, can prevent the medication from working well. My work focuses on the development of a rapid and low-cost test that can measure HIV medication levels in 30 minutes\, telling someone if they have enough medication in their system. \nMaya Singh is a third-year PhD student in bioengineering at the University of Washington\, where she focuses on creating low-cost tests to measure long-term HIV medication levels. She is passionate about being at the intersection of global health\, engineering\, and public policy to understand the impact of her work on people living with HIV. \n\nA Study of Prenatal Hydrocephalus\nDeja Monet \nThis talk will cover the cellular and genetic basis of developmental brain disorders. The developing brain is like traffic in an efficient city\, closely following and adapting to different signals. In this talk\, I’ll cover how brain development changes when these signals go awry. \nDeja Monet is a Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of Washington. In addition to researching brain development\, she also applies her training in science\, technology\, and society studies to exploring public health and science accessibility. \n\nLearning to Move: How Your Brain Handles the Unexpected\nAJ Mallory \nMoving your body through the world is one of the most important jobs of your brain. Your brain is amazing at learning and adapting\, whether it’s a baby taking their first steps or an adult staying upright on slippery ice. Learn about the different strategies your brain uses for adapting and learning new skills. We will start with well-understood learning behaviors and connect them to cutting-edge neuroscience of neural dynamics and brain-computer interfaces. \nAJ Mallory is a Bioengineering Graduate Student at the University of Washington studying Neural Engineering in the Orsborn lab. She is particularly interested in the neural dynamics underlying motor learning and brain-computer interfaces. When not in the lab\, she enjoys reading comic books with her kids and taking her dogs for long walks in the rain.

SUMMARY:Discovery Series\, Dr. Cyrus Ghjar\, Professor\, Fred Hutch
DESCRIPTION:What if cancer didn’t strike in one dramatic moment—but instead lingered\, quietly\, for years? Long after a tumor seems gone\, cancer cells can lie dormant. And sometimes\, they return. This is the mystery of metastatic relapse—and the frontier where Dr. Cyrus Ghajar works. \n​At Fred Hutch Cancer Center\, Ghajar leads research into how dormant cancer cells evade treatment and what reactivates them. His lab bridges oncology\, immunology\, and bioengineering to explore the role of the immune system in suppressing dormant cancer cells. It’s a delicate numbers game that can tip the balance between remission and recurrence. \n​Supported by the National Institutes of Health\, the Kuni Foundation\, U.S. Department of Defense and other funders\, Ghajar holds the Peter S. Lefkarites Memorial Endowed Chair. Ghajar’s work is reshaping how we think about metastasis—not as a sudden invasion\, but a slow\, stealthy process that might be intercepted. Join us to explore how silence in the body might hold the key to preventing relapse.

SUMMARY:Dr. E. Donnall Thomas Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Dr. E. Donnall Thomas and his colleagues discovered a way to treat advanced leukemia by eradicating malignant white blood cells in the bone marrow using high doses of chemotherapy and radiation\, and then replacing them with healthy donor cells. This revolutionary approach was the first definitive and reproducible example of the human immune system’s potential to eliminate cancer\, and it earned Thomas a Nobel Prize in 1990. Today\, cell-based therapies have become a standard of care for many patients with cancer and other diseases. \nRegistration for this event will open in July 2026.
