Calling all dogs and their humans! Researchers leading the Dog Aging Project, including CSDE Affiliate and Professor in the UW Department of Pathology and Department of Biology Daniel Promislow (project co-director), and CSDE’s Science Core Director Matt Dunbar (project data and analysis core director), need a group of 10,000 dogs to study how scientists can improve the life expectancy and quality of life for canines—this is largest-ever study done on aging among canines. 

The CSDE Early Career Women Faculty of Color Working Group created by CSDE Affiliate and Assistant Professor in the UW School of Social Work Jane Lee, met for their first gathering on November 1st.

The working group’s gathering was a success—the participants, who all represented diverse disciplines, discussed ideas for future meetings, potential collaborations for projects, and overlap in their respective research and academic areas. The participants also appreciated the working group as a space to share their similar experiences in academia as early career women of color.
