Seattle is full of foodies, and a particular focus of our foodie culture is sustainability. UW is full of foodies too: faculty, staff and students across campus departments and schools study and teach about food, agriculture, and the implications of our global food system. In partnership with UW Housing and Food Services, CoEnv has created website that gathers all food-related people, courses, events, and organizations into one location. Check out what’s -ahem- being served up on campus! Each week we share the latest publications coming from the College of the Environment. Over the holiday weeks, three new articles co-authored by members of the College of the Environment were added to the Web of Science or published online. 1. Title: Genomic analysis of cold-active Colwelliaphage 9A and psychrophilic phage-host interactions (Abstract only; subscription required for full text) Authors: Colangelo-Lillis, Jesse R.[ 1,2 ] ; Deming, Jody W.[ 1,2 ] [ 1 ] Univ Washington, School of Oceanography Journal: EXTREMOPHILES
2. Title: Activity and abundance of denitrifying bacteria in the subsurface biosphere of diffuse hydrothermal vents of the Juan de Fuca Ridge (OPEN ACCESS!) Authors: Bourbonnais, A.)[ 1 ] ; Juniper, S. K.)[ 1 ] ; Butterfield, D. A.[ 2,3 ] ; Devol, A. H.[ 4 ] ; Kuypers, M. M. M.[ 5 ] ; Lavik, G.[ 5 ] ; Hallam, S. J.[ 6,7 ] ; Wenk, C. B.[ 8 ] ; Chang, B. X.[ 9 ] ; Murdock, S. A.[ 1 ] ; Lehmann, M. F.[ 8 ] [ 1 ] Univ Victoria, Sch Earth & Ocean Sci Journal: BIOGEOSCIENCES
3. Title: Phytoplankton distribution in unusually low sea ice cover over the Pacific Arctic (OPEN ACCESS!) Authors: Coupel, P.[ 1 ] ; Jin, H. Y.[ 2 ] ; JJoo, M.[ 3 ] ; Horner, Rita[ 4 ] ; Bouvet, H.

With less than five months to go before the launch of the 2013 Seattle Science Festival, exhibitor and program recruitment has launched into high gear. The Pacific Science Center is looking for exhibitors to bring engaging, innovative hands-on activities to Seattle Center for the Science EXPO Day on Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. In addition, they are looking for musicians, entertainers and scientific stage performers to star on the EXPO Day stages, Signature Program hosts, and volunteers for the week’s festivities. Check out the great event and get involved! Last week the Pacific Northwest National Lab announced a new initiative with University of Washington. The Northwest Institute for Advanced Computing has the aim of mining’ big data’ and addressing challenges ranging from climate change to energy management. Read more here! There is a strong trend toward publishing scientific findings in open access journals, where the results are then freely available for other scientists or decision-makers rather than locked behind paywalls. Yet, there is no oversight of these journals, so “predatory publishing” has become a problem. A newly launched tool developed in part by UW researchers shows that open-access journals’ fees do not correlate particularly strongly with their influence, as measured by a citation-based index. Check out the visualization tool, and other resources available from Eigenfactor.org, which is based out of the UW Biology department. |

Foodie: n. A person that spends a keen amount of attention and energy on knowing the ingredients of food, the proper preparation of food, and finds great enjoyment in top-notch ingredients and exemplary preparation.
A new study by an international team of over 130 scientists has shed light on the climate, and ice, of the prehistoric past. Utilizing new techniques for ice dating, the team–including
