Anita Ramasastry, @uofwa.uw.edu law professor, has been central to FIFA’s human rights preparations ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Her involvment includes chairing its human rights advisory group and leading Seattle’s host city action plan. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

Explore recent research from the @uofwa.uw.edu: how sunbirds sip nectar through straw-like tongues, why the Seattle Fault might not pose as great a risk as previously thought, how to gauge landslide dam risk in the PNW and more. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

Scientists at the @uofwa.uw.edu have discovered a new ancient rodent-like species 🐭🌿 Named Cimolodon desosai, it was about the size of a golden hamster, lived both on the ground and in trees, and likely feasted on fruits and insects. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

UW News spoke with Paul Wiggins, a University of Washington associate professor of both physics and bioengineering, to learn about a surprisingly relatable behavior prompting bacteria to stockpile huge reserves of essential proteins. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

@uofwa.uw.edu physicists David Hertzog and Peter Kammel helped an international team win the 2026 Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics for decades of research on the muon, a particle with unusual properties that could point to new physics. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

Unfortunately for science fiction fans, desert worlds outside our solar system are unlikely to host life, according to new research from @uofwa.uw.edu. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

@ecologicalsociety.bsky.social named @uofwa.uw.edu Claire Willing a 2026 Early Career Fellow. Willing, @uw-sefs.bsky.social, studies fungal ecology, looking at how fungi are evolving and supporting plant communities as the climate changes. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

@rcalo.bsky.social newest book, “Law and Technology: A Methodical Approach,” published late last year, is a guide to a legal analysis of regulation and technology. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

New discoveries from the @vrubinobs.bsky.social are reshaping our view of the solar system. Using early data from the Simonyi Survey Telescope, scientists have identified 11,000+ new asteroids. Software from @uofwa.uw.edu DiRAC helped power these findings. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

The @uofwa.uw.edu graduate and professional degree programs again were recognized as among the best in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Graduate Schools released late Monday. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

New evidence suggests that a disease-causing tapeworm that has been spreading across the U.S. and Canada has arrived in the Pacific Northwest. The tapeworm, called Echinococcus multilocularis, was found in one-third of coyotes surveyed from the Puget Sound region. www.washington.edu/news/2026/04...

Cheryl Wright-Wilson and Raymond Wilson have made a bequest of more than $8M to be shared among the College of Education, the School of Pharmacy and UW Medicine’s BRaIN Laboratory. The gift will add scholarships, expand access and support cutting-edge research. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

From ocean depths to tennis courts 🎾🌊 @uofwa.uw.edu researchers uncover new insights on nautilus habitats, carbon-negative courts and marine life response to changing temperatures. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

Forest thinning in Washington’s Cascades could help tackle two climate challenges at once. 🌲❄️ New UW research shows strategic thinning can boost snowpack up to 30% while reducing wildfire risk. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

Indigenous people in the U.S. face a higher risk of fatal police violence near American Indian/Alaska Native reservations, per a first-of-its-kind national study. About 73% of AIAN people killed by police voice were on or within 10 miles of a reservation. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

An oddly-behaving star led two @uofwa.uw.edu astronomers to capture rare evidence of a collision between two planets in a distant solar system. The discovery could aid scientists in their search for worlds similar to our own. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

Plants, like people, have a circadian clock and they sense seasonal changes to light and temperature. Plants that bloom in the spring use the longer days and warmer temperatures as seasonal cues that it’s time to bloom. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

Ravens aren’t following wolves to kill sites, they’re using memory to find food. New research co-led by @uofwa.uw.edu shows ravens map and revisit areas where wolf kills are most likely, sometimes flying more than 150 km to check for a meal. More: www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

Marine energy — power harvested from tides, waves and currents — has enormous potential as a clean, renewable resource. But more information is needed about how commercial installations of underwater turbines or power-generating buoys could affect marine wildlife. www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...

Forest managers in the eastern Cascades selectively thin forests to promote wildfire resilience. New research from the @uofwa.uw.edu shows that the same process can also increase seasonal snowpack, providing some relief to drought-prone areas throughout central WA www.washington.edu/news/2026/03...
