There is much research that connects acts of kindness and improved mental health. It has the added bonus of cultivating a culture of care. Please encourage students to participate in this effort by sharing this email or this link with them. What is kindness? It is an action intended to benefit someone (yourself or someone else). What are the mental health benefits of kindness to others? 1. Helping others helps you feel good There is evidence to suggest that when you help others, it can promote physiological changes in the brain linked with happiness. Being kind to others can help reduce anxiety. Helping others can also improve our support networks and encourage us to be more active. This, in turn, can improve our self-esteem. 2. It creates a sense of belonging and reduces isolation Helping others can also help us feel a sense of belonging, make new friends and connect with our community. The human connection between the person being kind and the recipient(s) can help reduce loneliness and isolation. The benefits remain the same whether you are kind to a stranger or a loved one. 3. It helps make the world happier - it's contagious! Acts of kindness have the potential to make the world a happier place, with positive impacts on the giver and the receiver. The benefits of a kind act on the recipient is much greater than the giver imagines it is. It may also encourage others to repeat the good deed that they've experienced themselves - contributing to a more positive community. What are the mental health benefits of self-compassion? There is abundant research that self-compassion is very beneficial to your wellbeing. Therefore, we included some self-compassion items in our list.

You will explore a range of tropical ecosystems: from the beaches of the Pacific Ocean, to the lush humid rainforests of the Osa Peninsula, and up into the mighty oak trees of the Savegre cloud forest. Proud of their reputation for protecting and preserving their biodiversity, our experienced Costa Rican guides and naturalists will share their deep love for their country's natural heritage and show you places most visitors never get to venture. Feel what it's like to be a research scientist and conservationist working in the field. Work with conservationists in efforts to protect endangered turtles, learn about efforts to conserve wild cats, search troops of monkeys, visit a county that is native to about 10% of all bird species in the world, and follow leaf-cutter ants and army ants as they forage through the forest. Immerse yourself in the local culture in rural villages at Mastatal and the highland coffee region of Santa Elena. You will also gain first-hand knowledge of sustainable agriculture and coffee production, make (and taste) chocolate straight from the cacao trees, hike to waterfalls for an afternoon swim, and participate in service learning activities. No Spanish? No hay un problema, beginning and advanced speakers alike can build their skills through interactions with Costa Ricans. ************************************* Patrick C.

Students will gain experience in experimental design, hypothesis testing, and environmental microbiology techniques in both the field and lab, while exploring topics on biodiversity, host-symbiont interactions, forest ecology, and ecosystem services. Costa Rica is famous for its tropical rainforests, but did you know that the Olympic Peninsula hosts four temperate rainforests only a short drive from Seattle? During this unique study abroad program, we will explore both tropical and temperate rainforests, beginning at the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica and finishing at the Olympic Natural Resource Center on the Olympic Peninsula. The core focus of this research-intensive program will be investigations of the plant-microbe interactions in tropical and temperate rainforests. Not all microorganisms cause disease, and plants host many beneficial bacteria and fungi that promote the health of the plant through various mechanisms such as nutrient acquisition and pathogen resistance. For example, how trees acquire nutrients through symbiosis with microorganisms is thought to be strikingly different in these two ecosystems, but are there undiscovered similarities as well? Do the plant-microbiomes in these rainforest ecosystems reflect similar patterns of biodiversity and distribution that are found in the other taxonomic groups, such as insects, birds, and plants? How do they compare in terms of community structure (who is there) and functional roles (what they are doing)? As part of this program, you will gain experience in field and lab research while participating in an active research project seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the rainforest microbiome. Costa Rica leg : The program will begin in the tropical rainforest at the La Selva Reserve, where you will work with the UW instructors and Costa Rican naturalists guides in the field and lab to extract and culture microorganisms from a variety of native tropical plants. From there the group will travel to the rural community of Mastatal where we will collect more plant samples while exploring the wildlife and waterfalls of La Cangreja National Park and visiting Finca La Iguana Chocolate, where the family produces chocolate from their own cacao orchard. The Costa Rica leg will end with a trip to the Pacific coast, a kayak tour of the mangroves, and a day at Manuel Antonio National Park. Olympic Peninsula leg: The group will then travel back to Seattle and continue the research in the temperate Bogachiel Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula. We will hike along the river trail in the majestic Bogachiel Rainforest, comparing this forest to those in Costa Rica and collecting samples to test for symbiotic microbial activities. After night hikes at ONRC and a tour of the Olympic Rainforest, we will return to UW to analyze our samples in the Plant Microbiology Laboratory.

Doing Design to Design Awareness: What is your Design Signature Friday, January 27th | 2:30 ? 4:30pm | HCDE Design Lab ? Sieg Hall 233 Design is a fundamental aspect of engineering practice ? whether it be designing a bridge, developing an app, or creating innovative wearable technologies. Every time you engage in a design project, formally or informally, you create a tracing of your design process activities that you could call a ?design signature?. Design signatures vary across different types of design projects, with different goals, constraints, and deliverables. An aspirational ?design signature? represents a tracing of a design process you seek to emulate in future design projects. It can also serve as a personal reminder, guiding you towards becoming a better designer. In this workshop we will explore broad aspects of design processes, highlighting research on design expertise and the multitude of design model representations. You will also have the opportunity to create or refine your own personal design signature. Refreshments will be provided following the workshop. Questions, comments, or concerns? Please contact Cathryne Jordan at uwwise@uw.edu or Courtney McKee at lsamp@uw.edu . RSVP: https://forms.gle/q2TdQFr2TQgAVDX69 (limited spaces for this event) LSAMP Scientist Program ?

Art, Literature, and the Avant-Garde in the City of Light Paris, France Term Offered: * Autumn 2023 Approximate Dates of Instruction: October 1, 2023 to December 2, 2023 Application Deadline: February 15, 2023 Information Session: Friday, January 27th, 12:30-1:20, Padelford C101 When Baron Haussmann reconstructed Paris into the ?City of Light? (1852-1870), he produced an urban space that came to represent the Western world's break with tradition and the emergence of modernity. Modernism, the characteristic style of cutting-edge art and literature in the first half of the 20th century, was born there, which is why avant-garde artists and writers from all over the world would flock to Paris until the beginning of WWII. CHID Paris offers students a unique opportunity to study the emergence of modernity within its original cultural, architectural and historical context. Taken together, the three courses offered by the program trace the interrelationships between Paris and the development of new representational forms such as photography and film, and the impact of modernity on arts such as painting, the novel, poetry and the theater. Paris contains an unparalleled wealth of modernist and proto-modernist art and an essential part of the program will be visits to museums and sites were we will see the actual paintings, sculptures and artifacts that we will be studying : the Mus?e du Louvre, the Mus?e d?Orsay, the Mus?e Gustave Moreau, the Mus?e Rodin, the Mus?e Marmottan, the Centre Pompidou, the Mus?e d?Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Halle Saint-Pierre, Jean Tinguely?s ? Le Cyclop ?, etc. This will enable us to get a sense of the whole sweep of the development of modern art from Impressionism through the various movements of the 20th century. Classes take place at the American Church in Paris, in the very heart of Paris. Students stay with English-speaking families in Paris for the entire duration of the program. Breakfast and dinner are provided by host families. Excursions, city walks and research days will be scheduled during the week, leaving ample free time to explore the city and other sites in Europe during weekends. The program will run October 1 - December 2, 2023 in Paris, France. Remote, on-line class activities will be held through December 10, 2023, to wrap up the program. For a student's perspective, check out Sierra Ducatt's video from the 2015 program!

Message-ID: Interested in interdisciplinary learning, connecting with peers, and finding access to opportunities in climate science? The Program on Climate Change can help! If you would like to connect with professional development resources, experts in the field of climate science, and fellow climate-minded undergraduates from across the college, consider joining the PCC Undergraduate Climate Cohort: https://pcc.uw.edu/research/undergraduate-climate-cohort/ And get on our listserve to receive emails relevant to undergrads interested in thinking about climate. https://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/climateminor For those seeking a personalizable, interdisciplinary, educational program on the aspects of climate science, check out the newly updated Climate Science Minor! https://pcc.uw.edu/education/undergraduate-minor/ News and opinions about earth?s climate and global climate change can be found everywhere in today?s media, but without a foundational knowledge of climate science, it can be hard to separate fact from fiction. The Climate Science Minor aims to give students a strong interdisciplinary foundation in climate science with opportunities to explore policy, energy, and human dimensions of climate change. This minor is for any undergraduate who wants to understand climate change science from a broad perspective. A word about the requirements. We strongly recommend that interested freshmen and sophomores take ESS 201 or ATM S 211 as soon as possible, since they are prerequisites for the capstone course ATM S/ESS/OCEAN 475 which is offered once a year. Students also take one quantitative skills course AND one course from each of four topic areas with opportunities to explore paleoclimate, marine pollution, climate justice, ecology, the Arctic, and more. The updated elective structure allows for more choice in how the requirements are fulfilled. Check out the expanded options! Students are encouraged to meet with the Climate Science Minor Advisor, Miriam Bertram, for course planning. We hope to hear from you soon! -UW Program on Climate Change uwpcc@uw.edu pcc.uw.edu Thank you for your help and any feedback that you may have for us!
