Why is it that some people respond to life’s challenges with resilience while others fall apart? How can contemplative practices like meditation and mindfulness help us become healthier and happier – as individuals and as a community?
How does compassion for ourselves and others affect our neurobiology? What does all this mean for our work with UW students?
Tackle these timely and intriguing topics, and get answers to your questions in this interactive presentation by Dr. Anne Browning of the UW Resilience Lab.
This is the second in a series of educational forums open to all UW staff, faculty and students, and brought to you by the Student Wellbeing Collaborative. Coffee will be provided.
No RSVP is needed – we hope to see you there!

Dear students, staff, faculty, and friends,
Today is the day! We can’t wait to see you this afternoon for the SEFS Year-End Celebration, from 3 to 6 p.m. in the sun-speckled Anderson Hall courtyard!
We’ll kick off the program at 3:00 p.m. by recognizing the careers and retirements of SEFS Professors Kern Ewing and Jerry Franklin, and then we’ll present our annual awards. So come early to help give Kern and Jerry a memorable send-off, and see your friends and colleagues—and maybe yourself?!—recognized. Many thanks again for all of your heartfelt nominations for the SEFS Awards.
Oh, and of course we’ll have delicious catered snacks, beer, and wine.
Friends and family are welcome! Hope to see you all there!

Friday Harbor Labs Info Session
Friday, May 25, 1:30-2:20
Fishery Sciences Building (FSH) 203
RSVP
Learn more about how you can spend autumn quarter studying marine biology at our marine field station Friday Harbor Labs (FHL). Undergraduates study in residence at the labs for the entire quarter with courses ranging from introductory marine biology to advanced undergraduate research apprenticeships. These sessions are hosted by UW Marine Biology, and the MB Adviser Joe Kobayashi will be present at all sessions to cover basic information about ‘FHL’: what it is, what it means to study there for a quarter, how much it costs, and how to apply. Students interested in learning more about this are invited to attend any of the info sessions.
Please see the attached flyers for more information about course offerings for autumn 2018.
At this session, faculty from the ‘Pelagic Ecosystem Function of the San Juan Archipelago’ research apprenticeship will be present to talk more in detail about the ‘PEF’ apprenticeship.
More about the PEF Research Apprenticeship
Now in its 15th year, this very successful apprenticeship, Pelagic Ecosystem Function (PEF), uses the natural laboratory of the waters in the San Juan Archipelago to investigate the workings of a unique pelagic (open water) ecosystem. Friday Harbor is an ideal place for pelagic ecosystem studies because here, inputs from oceanic realms and major river systems are mixed by powerful tidal currents, creating an oceanographically complex habitat that supports a diverse community of plankton, fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals.
* Spend autumn quarter at Friday Harbor Labs immersed in a single, fifteen-credit research apprenticeship with a cohort of up to 12 other students.
* Be mentored by three faculty with expertise in oceanography, aquatic and fishery sciences, and marine birds and mammals.
* Apply for a Mary Gates Research Scholarship and earn up to $3,000 to support your tuition.

Don’t miss these exciting events with UW Study Abroad!
The last Gilman info session of spring quarter is today from 3pm-4pm in the Ethnic Cultural Center, Room 206. The Gilman Scholarship awards up to $5,000 for undergraduate study abroad. Applicants must be receiving a federal Pell grant as part of their financial aid award to be eligible.

The application deadline for these programs is October 2nd (which includes early consideration for summer), which is very soon after fall quarter begins, so it is critical that students get this information before they leave for summer break.
UW Study Abroad will also be hosting two discussions focusing on navigating identity abroad. The first examines being a woman abroad and will be on Thursday May 17th from 4pm-5:30pm in 171 Mary Gates Hall. We have assembled a fabulous student panel, so please encourage students preparing to go abroad to attend this discussion.

The Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline (NESSP) will be hosting a summit focused on inclusive STEM education from July 10 to July 14. Teachers and leaders from underserved communities will attend with the goal to exchange experiences and tap into resources they can take back.
During the 2018 NESSP STEM Educator Summit teachers and community leaders will be able to participate in group discussions, workshops, and hands-on activities designed to reflect on how to integrate the background of students into STEM education to make it more inclusive.
NASA engineers and scientist from diverse backgrounds have been invited as keynote speakers to share their vision on inclusive STEM education.
We will need volunteers to:
* Support us with supporting sessions and walking with groups around campus.
* As interpreters/translators (Spanish and English) to support attendees (Latinx teachers and community leaders).
* There is also an option to participate in a special event hosted by El Centro de la Raza, on July 9, 6pm-10pm. This is a community event open to the public where you can volunteer by having a station with hands-on activities or supporting the running stations.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please fill the following form.
If you are interested to participate formally instead of being a volunteer, you can register through our website.

Could dark matter have wiped out the dinosaurs? Join us on Wednesday, May 16th at 7:30pm in Kane Hall as we hear from Dr. Lisa Randall and she discusses findings from her latest research “Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs”
Working through the background and consequences of this proposal takes us to the latest findings—established and speculative—regarding the nature and role of dark matter and the origin of the Universe, our galaxy, our Solar System, and life. Above all, this lecture puts on display the process by which scientists explore new concepts — weaving together the cosmos’ history and our own, illuminating the deep relationships that are critical to our world and the astonishing beauty inherent in the most familiar things.
Lisa Randall studies theoretical particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University, where she is a Frank J. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science. Randall’s physics research connects theoretical insights to addressing puzzles in our understanding of the properties of matter, the Universe, and space. She is an exceptional thinker with the ability to connect complex science to the everyday world around us. Randall has also contributed to the arts in writing the libretto, Hypermusic Prologue: A Projective Opera in Seven Planes which premiered at Paris’s prestigious Centre Pompidou. And she is an avid rock climber, exploring terrain across the globe.
Randall was featured on Time Magazine’s list of “100 Most Influential People” of 2007 and her books Warped Passages (2005) and Knocking on Heaven’s Door (2011) were featured on New York Times’ lists of “100 Notable Books.” Her latest book, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, is a sweeping evolution of the Universe, the Milky Way, the Solar System and of life.
