Trumpeter Swans are a huge conservation success in North America, coming back from the brink of extinction on the pacific coast of North America. For decades scientists have wondered where exactly the swans migrate to. Now, thanks to modern GPS and cell phone technology, we can intimately follow the trail of individual swans hour by hour through an entire year as they navigate around critical but crowded wintering grounds in Washington state and then travel north to far-flung migration and nesting areas in BC, Yukon and Alaska. Join researcher Ivonne Romero as she takes us through this amazing story. |

Wildfire Smoke Exposure and Incident Dementia
Speaker
|
Joan A. Casey, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Washington School of Public HealthWildfires have reversed decades-long improvements in ambient air quality in the Western US and increasingly impact human populations. Both short- (days) and long-term (years) wildfire exposure likely matter for health. Joan will describe studies evaluating both, including a novel association between long-term wildfire fine particulate matter exposure and incident dementia. Joan will also discuss a recent rapid-response study on the January 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires using Kaiser Permanente Southern California electronic health record data, demonstrating their utility for such work.
