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?

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.
