Happy birthday to us! Today we turn 164, but we think we don't look a day over 157. 💅

Carving out a little Halloween spirit at UW! 💜🎃

Shout out to Yueli for sharing these unique mini views of campus!

UW alum Mary Brunkow, ’83, won the Nobel Prize in Medicine this morning. This photo was taken while she was on the phone with the Nobel Committee in Sweden. Mary said she initially missed the call because a strange number popped up on her phone — she thought it might be spam. 1/3

And baby, that's dawg business for you.

Hey Mariners, nice Dub. #SeizeTheMoment

Welcome back to class today, Huskies!

This week, researchers at Friday Harbor Labs released 29 lab grown sunflower sea stars into an urchin hot spot near San Juan Island with the hope that they will help keep the urchin population in check. @uwenvironment.bsky.social More on the project: www.washington.edu/news/2024/02...

Cement is the 2nd most-used material on Earth after water and is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Could Seaweed-infused cement help reduce concrete’s carbon footprint? bit.ly/4lGOR4U

“What we have seen in the past 15 years is the supersizing of the tech sector, and certain companies like Microsoft have been at the forefront. The bottom line is, how many people do these companies really need?" @margaretomara.bsky.social told @alexhalverson.bsky.social.

From Olympia to Spokane, the North Cascades to Grand Coulee Dam, and many more stops in between, new UW faculty spent the past week getting to better know the state and the people from Washington communities that they'll teach. Read more: www.washington.edu/externalaffa...

Today and every day, we recognize those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. These monuments on the UW campus in Seattle, many of which are located along Memorial Way, honor their memory. #MemorialDay www.washington.edu/boundless/remembering-those-who-sacrificed/

Thanks to the College of Built Environments and UW Facilities' Salvage Wood Program, students are making use of lumber from felled campus trees and creating furniture. #EarthDay www.washington.edu/boundless/salvage-wood-program/

New research from @uwpsychology.bsky.social examined whether children’s interactions with nature that are embodied, rather than just visual, are associated with being in the moment and feeling connected to something beyond the self.

Welcome back, Huskies! This spring is gonna be the best quarter yet. 🌸

In the 1970s, @microsoft.com co-founders Paul Allen & Bill Gates snuck into UW's computer science lab. Today, their partnership with the university has led to $165M+ in contributions that have helped make our state, country and world a better place to live. www.microsoft.com/en-us/puget-...

Each year, more than 1 billion pounds of coffee grounds are tossed into landfills & compost bins. A UW doctoral student has brewed up a way to make an alternative to plastics with those used coffee grounds. https://www.washington.edu/news/2025/02/18/plastic-alternative-mushrooms-coffee-3d-printing/

Update: Amanda Moll is making it seriously hard to keep up with her record-breaking! 😅 Just hours after our previous post, Amanda broke her record AGAIN (that's now the fourth time she's broken her own record, for those counting), this time clearing 16-1.25 (4.91-meters). 🤯

UW athlete Amanda Moll made NCAA history! She’s the first college athlete ever to clear 16 feet (4.88m) in pole vault. She joins an elite group — only three other American women have ever gone this high, and those other athletes are all Olympic medalists.

The UW is, once again, one of America’s top producers of prestigious Fulbright scholars. Thirteen Huskies were selected to represent the U.S. across the globe as part of the world’s largest educational exchange program. www.washington.edu/news/2025/02...
