Apologies for the mass email, but Mark Denny and I are spreading the word that we will be teaching biomechanics at UW Friday Harbor Laboratories this summer (June 10 – July 12). You can get the details here: https://fhl.uw.edu/courses/course-descriptions/course/ecological-biomechanics-2024/.
Application review begins in early March and financial aid is available.  The course is pitched for grad students, but would be a great experience for an advanced undergrad, post-bac, post-doc or adventure-seeking professor.  

Are you interested in traveling to Yellowstone National Park over spring break? Want to see wolves, explore US National Park Service management, put your GIS and wildlife skills to work, or catch and track a raven? If so, you may be interested in taking ESRM 459 Spring Quarter with Professors Aaron Wirsing, John Marzluff, and a third instructor TBD.
To be considered for the class, please email Dr. 

Winter 2024: ANTH 210 Introduction to Environmental Anthropology
About: Anthropologists have long been interested in the relationships between people and the natural environment. For most of human history, the relationship between humans and the environments in which they have lived was largely one of resource extraction with relatively low levels of impact. This relationship with the environment changed quite dramatically after the advent of food domestication, as well as after the Industrial Revolution, and has kept pace ever since with new technological innovations and increased global political-economic relations between human populations that have affected the natural world at large.  

Great class for Juniors & Seniors considering grad school!

Spring term 2024 course applications for classes at Friday Harbor Labs are now live! Come spend ten weeks on beautiful San Juan Island exploring the tide pools, learning in a hands-on lab environment, and diving into lectures about the diverse life found in our ocean.
For marine biology majors this is an opportunity to earn writing credit, research credit, and major elective credits towards their degree. 

Asynchronous Course ATM S 212 Air Pollution offered in Winter 2024 Quarter

Unveil the wonders of the ocean with a new Marine Biology course taught by Dr Ronel Nel.
What is this course about?
The marine realm dominates our planet’s surface and encompasses a rich tapestry of biodiversity. Life began in the oceans, evolving over eons through nature’s meticulous selection. In this introductory course, we’ll unravel the mysteries of familiar animals with extraordinary adaptations and delve into the extraordinary lives of creatures from known and distant habitats, all shaped by the relentless forces of biology and physics. 

Journey through the underwater world of rivers and lakes. Get hands-on experience in wet labs and field trips. Explore the life and death of organisms in a rapidly changing planet.

Fiona Curliss, the adviser at Friday Harbor Labs (FHL), will be in town next week!  She will be on the Seattle Campus on Monday, Oct. 23, Tuesday, Oct. 24, and the morning of Thursday, Oct. 26.   Pema Kitaeff, the Friday Harbor Labs Diving Officer, will also be joining the Tuesday Information Session to talk about Diving.
Remember that almost all Marine Biology Majors will study at FHL for 3-10 weeks in order to graduate, so come to an Info Session to plan ahead!
