I am emailing you today in regards to our post internship opportunities for animal care and education. We are one of eleven accredited sanctuaries through the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries rescuing exotic big cats and bears from the exotic pet trade/entertainment industry. TCWR has been rescuing big cats since 1992, providing a forever home and vet care to animals that have been abused and neglected. Our internship program was formed in 1997 and has graduated 450 interns since its creation. Since the beginning of the program, 90% of our interns have been successful in securing a job in the animal related field from veterinarians to animal keepers at other true accredited sanctuaries and zoos. Our own veterinarian started here as an intern, became a staff member, left for vet school and came right back. We have always mailed a flyer to the career centers and biology departments. However, we know everything is going digital via Handshake and other platforms. We already post on handshake, but are still developing a flyer for the schools. We are emailing you to ask for your assistance in sending the attached flyer to your prospective students and biology departments whether it is printing it for you bulletin board, sending it to them directly, or sharing on your platform. We would really appreciate your help in sharing our internship opportunities. We have seen a change in the number of applicants compared to the past and hope that this will help further spread our mission. I have included our Animal Curator's contact below as well for your use if needed. If any students are interested and want to reach out directly, they can email me at this email or Emily McCormick, our Animal Curator. Thank you again for your support.

Exploring the ethical implications of AI (A&H / SSc, W) Instructor: Amy Piedalue SLN: 23522 M/W, 3:30 PM ? 5:20 PM, MEB 248 Course Descripion Summary: Explores ethics of AI through feminist, critical race, post-colonial, and queer theory. Draws on news articles, policy papers, podcasts, documentaries, fictional works on AI, and more to analyze AI in society. Course Description: ChatGPT could not teach this course?or rather, it should not. But that doesn?t mean that we don?t have a lot to learn from and about artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI like ChatGPT. The recent explosion of genAI apps and platforms is of course not the beginning, or the end, of the diffusion of AI into our daily lives. Nor are the public debates surrounding the development and public release of this technology ?new? exactly. In fact, AI and machine learning (ML) are ubiquitous elements of our 21st century world ? both in digital platforms and IRL. At times, it seems that the trajectory of AI development is outpacing the ability of global societies and citizens to both understand the technology and grapple with the ethical challenges it presents. Yet, we have also been actively debating many aspects of AI ethics for decades ? in academic and policy circles, in news and public arenas, as well as through literary and cinematic explorations. This course takes our current public discussions as a starting point for confronting the complexities of an AI-?powered? world. Beginning from some current debates ? for example the impacts of genAI in the spheres of education and digital art ? we will place these issues and concerns within the context of evolving fields of AI ethics, responsible AI, and AI policy. At the same time, we?ll consider the importance of key concepts from critical social theory (i.e. feminist, critical race, post-colonial, and queer theory) as tools to think critically about difference, inequality and social control. We will read, watch, and listen to a variety of materials ? from news articles and policy papers, to academic research and TedTalks, to podcasts and documentaries. The course also includes a unit exploring AI ethics through fictional representations of AI. Across these sources and our class discussions, we will consider many questions, including: How do we weigh the potential benefits of AI against the potential risks and harms that AI magnifies, accelerates, or introduces? What is new and what?s familiar about the power dynamics surrounding the development and deployment of AI systems? What is the current state of AI awareness/AI literacy? How can regulations around data privacy and AI help to prevent harm and protect individual rights? The course will be discussion driven and students will be expected to be actively engaged in classroom & online discussion spaces.

We have positions open now and for Fall 2023. SEAL is a great place to get involved in campus research and design new technologies that help our local community, even while practicing self-isolation or social distancing. We provide an extensive online training program for our students to help them participate in campus research. Strong students are given opportunities to publish their work, win international-grade research awards, join or create start-up companies, and receive letters of recommendation for graduate school or career advancement. Many of our students transition into paid positions based on their performance. Students are expected to commit 10 to 15 hours per week. Hours are flexible and can include telecommuting, evenings, or weekends. Project availability changes depending on student interests and lab needs. Highlighted projects are listed below: * UW IAC - Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: The UW IAC offers real-world experience to students interested in learning about energy management and efficiency (link to website). Students will be given hands-on experience working with manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest. Topics include energy savings, waste reduction, sustainable practices, industrial processes, energy assessment procedures, cybersecurity screenings, smart manufacturing, sustainability, resiliency planning, decarbonization, and electrification.

Reviews evidence in the context of food systems and health policy. Credit/no-credit only. Autumn quarter topic: Biodiversity of Food Systems. -- This seminar will explore the biological diversity that enables sustainable food systems and healthy communities. This biodiversity, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms across ecosystems, is critical to clean water, fertile soils, pollination, stable climate, and nutritional and cultural diversity. This biodiversity is also at risk of extinction, largely due to food production practices that rely on monocultures of single species over large tracts of land and water. The consequences of this transformation have led to multiple negative climate and health impacts, especially for rural and marginalized communities. Drawing on the expertise of guest speakers throughout the quarter, this seminar will dig into topics such as traditional and biodiverse food systems, soil biology, and agroecological communities that nourish humanity. Each topic will connect with food systems more broadly, as well as opportunities for reverence and reflecting on how to live in harmony with the systems that support humanity and life on Earth. -- Thank you, Lisa Lisa Nordlund Pronouns: She, Her, Hers Senior Adviser Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health Major (FSNH) Nutritional Sciences Program University of Washington 305-B Raitt Hall | 206-543-8333 Connect with us via Facebook, Instagram, or Linked In -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Husky Helpline gives students same-day access to consultation with a therapist via phone or online chat. Staff and academic personnel can also call Husky Helpline for consultation about a student. The service operates 24/7, so people can call anytime. Depending on how many other calls they have, there will be a wait, but they will call back. If you are thinking this sounds a lot like My SSP, that is because it is still the same service by the same people except they changed their name to Telus. Now that the service is permanently funded on all three campuses, and to create easier access, we are calling it Husky Helpline. The phone number (206-616-7777) is easier to remember but still directs to My SSP. For those of you who already had the My SSP app downloaded, it still works for online chat and the branding will automatically change to Telus when the app updates. Please share the information below with your networks. Husky HelpLine Huskies, we all have moments when things get hard, frustrating, or overwhelming and we need to talk to someone. Perhaps you just broke up with someone, got a bad grade on an exam, going through some relationship or family trouble and needing someone to talk to. You are never alone and always have someone to help. [A drawing of a dog that has number for 24/7 crisis support at 206.616.7777] Husky HelpLine is available to support you to same-day access to a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Husky HelpLine is supported through Telus (formally MySSP) to give students access to same-day, confidential mental health and crisis intervention support, and in multiple languages. There are several ways to connect: * Phone: Call (206) 616-7777 * Online chat: Chat with a counselor on Telus website or on the Telus app (Apple App Store | Google Play) * Download the Telus app (Apple App Store | Google Play) to have the full range of services at your fingertips any time.

Join the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS) at our 2023-2024 introduction meeting! The meeting will be on October 5, 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, in the HUB 238. As an RSO, we have two main goals for our pre-health members. The first goal is to provide them with the opportunities they need to be successful premedical students and assist them in their journey for applying to medical school. We provide students with opportunities to network with healthcare professionals, fostering both productive exposure and meaningful connections in the field. Our second goal is to provide our members with the knowledge they need to become socially conscious healthcare professionals. We do this by centering many of our meetings on the inequities of healthcare, aiming to increase awareness and advocacy. We invite medical professionals from a diverse array of backgrounds, education, and specialties to share their experiences to the next generation of healthcare workers! Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at our first meeting! MAPS Team -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Attached is the full year schedule as well as next week?s presentation. Dear Colleagues, On October 5, we will hear from Dr. Ray Hilborn of UW in this year's inaugural Fish and Wildlife Seminar! More information on this talk and the zoom info is below and in the attached flyer. The schedule of speakers for the year is included at the bottom of this message. Note that we will be meeting nearly every 2 weeks, rather than once a month, due to high interest in the series this year. Please share with your networks - here is a link folks can use to sign up for the seminar email list. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you there! Alex Zoom link: https://washington.zoom.us/j/4432362511 Speaker: Professor Ray Hilborn, UW Title: Rethinking the conservation benefits of no-take MPAs Abstract: The idea no-take MPAs became popularized in the 1990s and were rapidly adopted by the coastal marine ecology community and many NGOs as the key solution to prevent overfishing and the perceived depletion of the oceans. Since the 1990s many individual MPAs and networks have been established around the world, and many are now arguing for 30% of the oceans to be made no-take areas. However, as evidence has accumulated, and theory has advanced, it appears that (1) no-take areas do not lead to increases in fish abundance within a region unless the area is heavily overfished although they frequently lead to increased abundance within the no-take area, (2) no-take areas do not reduce by-catch but simply move it elsewhere as effort is shifted, (3) no-take areas do not significantly increase regional biodiversity, and (4) no-take areas don?t seem to increase resilience to climate change. I will argue that when we look at the concerns about the impact of fishing in the ocean, there are almost always better ways to alleviate the negative impacts than no-take areas. These better ways include reducing fishing effort, closing specific areas to specific fishing gears, fishing gear modification and adaptive or rotational closures. The major exception is in places where overfishing is intense, and these other tools simply cannot be implemented. Speaker Bio: Ray Hilborn received his B.A. in Biology from Grinnell College in 1969 and his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of British Columbia in 1974. He spent one year at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in 1974-1975, then spent 5 years working for the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Environment. Then for 5 years he was a research faculty member at UBC, then for 2 years a research scientist for the Tuna and Billfish Program of the South Pacific Commission in New Caledonia. Since 1987 he has been a professor in the School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences at U.W. His research has focused on natural resource management, fisheries stock assessment, and the integration of mathematical models and data to provide guidance to resource managers. He is a member of the Royal Society of Canada, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Washington State Academy of Sciences. 2023-2024 Schedule: Date Speaker 10/5/2023 Ray Hilborn 11/2/2023 Xochitl Clare 11/16/2023 Katie McElroy 12/7/2023 Lara Volski 1/11/2023 Matt Farr 2/1/2023 Anne Beaudreau 2/15/2023 Sandor Toth 3/7/2023 Sunny Jardine 3/21/2023 Katherine Haman 4/4/2023 Rich Hinrichsen 4/18/2023 David Trimbach 5/2/2023 Sam Wasser 5/16/2023 Brad Hanson 6/6/2023 Anna Nisi -- Jason Patterson, M Ed.
