SUMMARY:Smarty Pints! Clouds\, Grasses\, and Climate
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with a paleobotany professor and an atmospheric sciences student\, with plenty of time for Q&A!\n\n\n\nNeed interesting talking points for Thanksgiving? Come on over to Burke-Gilman Brewing for the next Smarty Pints! We’re going to touch grass\, watch clouds\, and tie it all back to ancient and modern climate change. \n🌾 Dr. Caroline Strömberg \nProfessor in UW Biology & Curator of Paleobotany at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture \nHow grasses took over the world \nGrasses are all around us\, whether in the form of lawns\, golf courses\, wheat fields or the contents of your popcorn bag. Yet few people think of grasses as an evolutionarily extremely successful group\, or wonder how they came to be so ubiquitous in less than ~30 million years. This talk will explore what we know about the evolutionary history of grasses and grassland ecosystems and how it related to climate change and animal evolution. \n☁️ Aakash Manapat \nGraduate student\, UW Atmospheric and Climate Science \nHow clouds control our climate \nClouds are ubiquitous features of Earth’s weather. However\, their mundaneness hides a surprising level of complexity. Join me to learn about why scientists still struggle to understand clouds\, and why clouds represent a major uncertainty when trying to understand climate change. \nSmarty Pints is not responsible for any family arguments arising from discussions related to Smarty Pints events. Trust your judgement. Maybe talk about the great beer you had.

SUMMARY:PNRI Science Matters Seminar: Omic-Driven Precision Care in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Shahida Moosa\, MBBCh\, PhD of Tygerberg Hospital and Stellenbosch University will discuss the growing role of omics-driven precision care in South Africa\, and how these advances are transforming the landscape of rare disease diagnosis and management across the lifespan. Through the Undiagnosed Disease Programme\, recent work has demonstrated the power of integrating multiple layers of genomic technology: from exome and genome sequencing to long-read platforms and RNA sequencing\, to uncover the molecular basis of rare and previously undiagnosed conditions. In a setting as diverse and complex as South Africa\, where genetic variation is vast and healthcare resources constrained\, these tools do more than generate data: they create answers\, enable tailored care\, and provide long-awaited clarity for families who have spent years on a diagnostic odyssey.  Register today for FREE! \nPNRI Science Matters Seminars \nPNRI’s Science Matters free\, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics\, genomics\, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact. Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations\, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups\, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce.

SUMMARY:Professor Brian Cox: Emergence
DESCRIPTION:After performing his smash-hit show ‘Horizons’ to nearly half a million people across the world\, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new world tour Emergence. \n  \nBrian has appeared in many landmark science programmes for BBC radio and television over the last 15 years\, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to the world-wide hit series The Planets. \n  \nProfessor Brian Cox said: “I’ve loved creating Emergence – it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists\, musicians\, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology\, biology\, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available\, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience\, and I hope it leaves everyone\, whether they love science or music or history\, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature\, with something new to think about.”

SUMMARY:Winter 2026 Nature and Health Community Dinner
DESCRIPTION:About Our Community Dinners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur quarterly community dinners welcome anyone with a curiosity about expanding access to green space to support health and well-being\, environmental and health equity\, people-nature reciprocity\, and climate change resilience. Students\, professionals\, and community members from many different disciplines come together to explore new ideas\, discuss policies and programs\, and strengthen partnerships in the field of nature and health. \nThe February 10 dinner features a speed talk from Rachel Berney\, PhD\, associate professor in the UW College of Built Environments and director of Urban@UW. \nRachel is an urban designer and scholar whose research examines the social\, political\, and spatial dimensions of public space in cities across the Americas. She focuses on how the built environment shapes community development\, equitable urban development\, sustainability\, and everyday life. Her work examines the use of public space to promote belonging and the impacts of mobility and transit infrastructure on public health and well-being. A central focus of her research and teaching is community-engaged work that supports more just and inclusive planning practices. Across these areas\, she is particularly interested in the legibility of urban environments—how invitations to use public space and their imaginaries (intended audiences) communicate meaning\, foster inclusion\, and support more equitable urban futures. \nDuring the February Community Dinner\, Rachel will talk about two recent works: \n1. Building equity into public park and recreation service investment: A review of public agency approaches \n2. Fit for all: Exploring invitations and imaginaries in urban design research \nNature and Health Community Dinners include: \n\nA plant-based dinner\nDrinks\nNetworking\nShort talks from a wide variety of professionals\, including researchers\, community leaders\, policy-makers\, program managers\, etc.

SUMMARY:UW Science Now With Sierra Gillman and Emma Modrick
DESCRIPTION:Hear from UW students about research on the hidden drivers behind shifting marbled murrelet populations and viewing monsoon seasons from the perspective of the ocean. \nInvestigating the At Sea Decline of Marbled Murrelets\nSierra Gillman \nUsing twenty years of at-sea survey data and statistical models\, I am identifying the hidden drivers behind the shifting population trends of marbled murrelets. \nThe Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a unique seabird that leads a double life in the Pacific Northwest. It spends its entire life on the open ocean\, but during the breeding season\, it flies miles inland to nest in the high branches of old-growth forests. Despite decades of legal protection\, these populations are still in trouble and continue to decline across Washington. To understand what is driving these losses\, I analyzed twenty years of at-sea survey data with hierarchical distance sampling. By looking at two decades of trends\, my research identifies the specific environmental factors that are pushing these declines. \nSierra Gillman is a PhD candidate in the Quantitative Ecology Lab in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. Her dissertation applies hierarchical distance sampling and quantitative models to improve long-term conservation efforts for marine birds and mammals throughout the Pacific Northwest. \nThe Price of Change\nEmma Modrick \nAn accounting of the Indian summer monsoon\, from the perspective of the ocean. \nDeep below the surface of the ocean\, a mysterious process takes energy from wind and uses it to power a large-scale circulation that is essential in regulating the Earth’s climate. For decades\, scientists have applied a simple\, straightforward framework for how this wind energy may eventually make its way into the deep ocean by focusing on how it first affects the surface of the ocean. But how good is this framework\, and does it apply everywhere in the ocean? Using the case of the annual transition into the monsoon season off the coast of India\, we’ll follow the “budget” of wind energy as it enters the surface ocean and begins to change its properties. \nEmma Modrick is an oceanography graduate student studying the physics of the surface ocean using a combination of theory\, simulations\, and observations. She was raised in greater Washington\, DC\, and completed her undergrad degree in oceanography and applied math at Cal Poly Humboldt in coastal northern California. Her free time is consumed by desperate efforts to foil her cat’s attempts at shredding all the paper in her home.
