These events are free and open to the public, so invite your fellow literature lovers. Award-winning Poet Scholar, and Electronic Literature Pioneer, Amaranth Borsuk Amaranth Borsuk will share her most recent work, including “W/\SH”, a work of speculative poetry created with poet and artist Terri Witek, which includes visual poems, fragments, and epistles envisioning a correspondence between women in two disastrous climate futures who reach for one another across their worlds, hoping to course-correct for the sake of their children. Amaranth Borsuk is a poet, scholar, and book artist working at the intersection of print and digital media. Her most recent book, “W/\SH” (Anhinga, 2026), is a work of speculative poetry created with poet and artist Terri Witek. Borsuk is the author of the poetry collections “Pomegranate Eater” (KorePress, 2016) and “Handiwork” (Slope Editions, 2012) as well as three other collaborative books of poems including: “Abra” (1913 Press, 2016), with Kate Durbin and Ian Hatcher; “As We Know” (Subito Press, 2014), with Andy Fitch; and “Between Page and Screen” (Siglio Press 2012, SpringGun Press, 2016) with Brad Bouse.

She has collaborated on installations, art bookmarklets, interactive works, and poems, and is Associate Professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington Bothell. This event is co-sponsored by the Digital Humanities Initiative, the Department of English and Comparative Literature, and the CAL HŪMTECH Initiative.

Ever thought that learning would be more fun with a cold drink in hand? We've got you covered! Suds & Science brings scientists face-to-face with the public at local neighborhood bars for a night of learning, drinking, and community that you won't want to miss! Highlights: - Fun and informative lectures from STEM professionals - Lively discussions between scientists and audiences - Connection with your community in a laid-back environment "Not All Intelligence is Human" Not all intelligence looks like a human brain. Long before humans built machines, evolution shaped nervous systems that could navigate darkness, coordinate without leaders, and control complex movement with remarkable efficiency. In this talk, I’ll explore how scientists and engineers learn from non-human nervous systems - from ants and bees and bats and octopuses - to inspire modern technologies. By looking beyond our own brains, we’ll see how different kinds of minds solve problems in surprising ways, and how these biological strategies are quietly shaping the tools we use every day. About the Speaker Chiaki Santiago is a recent doctoral graduate from UC San Diego, earning her neurosciences graduate degree, investigating inhibitory hippocampal circuit activity during sleep. She is currently a Medical Writer at Precision Medicine Group, where she works at the intersection of science and communication, translating complex neurological concepts into clear, accessible writing.

Although we are only now coming to appreciate how, the effects of these changes have been felt by all living creatures for more than a century. In this talk, I will share three hot topics of research on how climate change affects us and the ecosystem we are embedded in. First, I will share how global warming is making us hotheaded, with potentially disastrous consequences for our society. Second, I will discuss how climate change is helping spread old diseases to new areas, and also leading to the emergence of never-before-seen pathogens. And finally, I’ll try to switch from doom to mood by telling you about how our jellyfish and cephalopod cousins might be coping with climate change. Come prepared to learn something new, “weather” you like it or not. About the Speaker Aalok Varma is a biologist and avid science communicator.
