UW Bothell professors share insights into fast-growing region at free, public Campus Research Connections series

BOTHELL, Washington — University of Washington Bothell researchers who are in a unique position to monitor changes in the fast-growing Bothell area share their insights this fall in a series of free public presentations called Campus Research Connections.

Held in the Bothell Regional Library or City Hall, these faculty-driven topics engage the public in educational and discussion opportunities around water quality, controlling invasive species, and preservation and restoration.

Here’s the lineup so far:

A Sense of Place: Our Rapidly Urbanizing Environment
Warren Gold, Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences associate professor and director of the UW Restoration Ecology Network, along with a panel of longtime Bothell residents discuss what it means to have a “sense of place” — both today and during the city’s early history.

Bothell City Hall, council chambers
