🧪BREAKING: NIH has laid out 5 options for funding publications costs on grants (yes, FIVE!). This is hugely impactful.

Make your opinions known by September 15, fellow scientists.

Color graphic of the coastline of Washington State on the right with gray circles of seismic waves approaching from the left across the blue ocean. Black text on an orange background reads “There is a tsunami advisory for Washington State. Stay out of the water and away from the shore, including harbors and marinas. Dangerous waves and currents expected. More information at tsunami.gov.”

This TSUNAMI ADVISORY is now just for the outer coast of Washington state and does NOT include the inner counties of King, Pierce and Thurston. Ocean sensors indicate a possible one foot wave at some of the outer coast. There may still be some unusual currents on the inner coast. #wawx

Hi #EpiSky! If you're an epidemiologist (including PhD students, postdocs, faculty, and people working outside of academia as epis), please take our brief survey on the political role of epidemiologists! Mookie says thanks in advance.

Colorful graphic of a wave on a sandy beach. Text reads, “Are you ready to shake out? October 16th at 10:16 AM.”

Have you spent time along Washington’s 3,000 miles of shoreline this summer? If so, did it get you wondering what you can do to reduce your tsunami risk? 🌊 Wonder no longer, because #ShakeOut is on the way! #ShakeOut is the world’s largest annual earthquake and tsunami drill.

Though much remains uncertain (e.g. outcomes of lawsuits re: canceled grants), it is clear that U.S. gov funding for science — especially science that intersects w/ concerns about human flourishing — is going to be significantly diminished in coming years. Here are a few things we can do to help:

2025 Rural Health Heroes of Washington Nomination Form Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.

Know a person, team, or org in healthcare that's gone the extra mile to make a positive impact in Washington’s rural communities? Nominate them for the Rural Health Heroes Award!

Nominations close Sept 4 at 5 pm. heyor.ca/XKE7CC

At the UW SMART Center, we honor the history, leadership, & contributions of people w/disabilities & the work still needed for true inclusion.

This #DisabilityHistoryAndAwareness Month, we proudly reaffirm our commitment to advancing equity, mental health & access for all students in every #school.

Final call for European implementation researchers working in healthcare to participate in the European Implementation Research Survey (#EIRS), closing on July 7. If you haven't responded yet, could you give us half an hour of your time? Thank you! #ImpSci implementation.eu/european-imp...

Illustrative Paint Map of Washington state highlighting expected heavy traffic from July 3-7 due to various events including Mariners and Sounders games, Tipper concert, a Chuckanut Footrace, and Fourth of July celebrations. Icons and text emphasize busy areas. Also includes drawings of eagles, Smokey Bear riding an eagles, dump truck, Nouhou riding an Amtrak Cascades train, a cartoon noting not to set the state on fire, various foods, a beautifully drawn ferry, and more.

Hope you're hungry 'cause we’re serving up a juicy Fourth of July Weekend Paint Map fresh off the grill! (eagle screech)

While most construction will be paused, expect HEAVY traffic on our roads, basically everywhere. Remember, don't set the state on fire, and plan ahead!

📣 Poster for a Stand Up for Science Teach-In on Monday, July 7th at 6:30 PM PT in Seattle, WA. Features bold red text “TEACH-IN” and includes guest speakers Carl Bergstrom (UW Biology) and Kevin Gross (NCSU Statistics). Discusses how science works as a social process shaped by norms and institutions. Statue of Liberty background and humorous image of a bird with caption "HOW science works, damnit!" Event held at Burke-Gilman Brewing Co. QR code and logo for StandUpForScience.net at bottom.

📣EVENT ALERT!

Join us next Monday, July 7th at 6:30pm PT at Burke-Gilman Brewing Co. in Seattle, WA for a conversation on how science works with @carlbergstrom.com (UW Biology) and Kevin Gross (NCSU Statistics) - and you!

Reviewer notes: So you’re interested in “lagged effects.” In some fields, researchers who end up with time series of two variables of interest (X and Y) like to analyze (reciprocal) lagged effects between them. Does X affect Y at a later point in time, and d...

New blog post! Let's say you've measured two variables repeatedly and want to investigate how one affects the other over time. Here are some recommendations for how to do that well.
