Discovery is at the heart of our university.

• Do you wonder whether Pacific Northwesterners have an accent?
• Are you curious what your eyes reveal about your risk of Alzheimer’s?
• Do you know what your car’s worn tires mean for coho salmon?

UW’s community of experts, researchers, artists, students and talented individuals are driven by the same curiosity and a need to channel their knowledge for good.
