CALLING ALL HUMANS! LET’S CONVENE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is the kind of problem that keeps us up at night. No matter where you live or what you do, you will be impacted by human-made changes to our atmosphere. It’s something that no single discipline can hope to solve—we know that we must collaborate to innovate on this complex issue. 

The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences autumn quarter seminar is a chance for the public to learn about current issues and research through weekly lectures each Thursday. Subscribe to the SAFS events calendar for information about other lectures through the quarter.
More than just fillets on the grill: Salmon and trout as models of evolutionary ecology.
Abstract
Salmon, trout, and their relatives are important as objects of commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries and aquaculture, and they also play vital roles in the marine and freshwater ecosystems that they occupy during their lives. 

The guest speaker for this quarter’s ‘Wildlife Seminar’ Sharon Melin from the NOAA National Marine Mammal Laboratory will be giving a talk on Monday, 5/9 from 3:30 – 4:30 in Kane Hall 130 about Climate Change and California Sea Lions. This lecture is open to the public, so you can attend even if you haven’t registered for the course (ESRM 455). 

Drew is an amazing marine biologist who has worked on a wide range of impacts on marine invertebrate species and communities, most recently sea star wasting disease.  With the spectre of global warming threatening marine communities worldwide, Drew has become especially interested in the role warming plays in facilitating epidemics.  Her work is a tremendous combination of CSI disease ecology all the way through to curation of a stunning collection of art glass profiled in this award-winning film. 

Ah spring! Nearly at the end of the school year: cherry blossoms, singing birds, and for many of you: thoughts about jobs and careers. You might be graduating and looking for your first job out of school, or you may be focused on exploring career options or securing good internships.
Wherever you are in your career planning, you should take advantage of the UW Career Center spring workshops.
