UPDATE April 7, 2026:听The original version of this story omitted two UW programs that were included in the rankings: Occupational Therapy (Tied for 20th) and Physical Therapy (Tied for 31st).听

The 天美影视传媒鈥檚 graduate and professional degree programs again were recognized as among the best in the nation, according to .

Topping this year鈥檚 list include programs at the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, the School of Public Health, the School of Nursing, the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering in the College of Engineering and the College of Education. The College of Arts & Sciences and the College of the Environment also had top-rated programs.

In total, 81 graduate and professional degree programs across the UW placed in the top 35 in this year鈥檚 U.S. News rankings.

“These rankings highlight the strength and impact of the 天美影视传媒鈥檚 graduate and professional programs,鈥� said UW President Robert J. Jones. 鈥淭hese programs equip students with the skills and knowledge to meet critical workforce needs and serve society, while demonstrating the power of higher education to advance the public good. We are proud to foster an environment where students and faculty can thrive and have a real impact on the world around them.鈥�

While the UW celebrates the success and impact of the programs recognized by U.S. News 鈥� and notes that many applicants use these rankings to help them select schools and discover potential areas of study 鈥� the University also recognizes shortcomings inherent in the ranking systems.

The UW School of Law and the UW School of Medicine withdrew from the U.S. News rankings in 2022 and 2023, respectively, citing concerns that some of the methodology in the rankings for those specific disciplines incentivize actions and policies that run counter to the schools鈥� public service missions.

UW leaders continue to work with U.S. News and other ranking organizations to improve their methodologies, to the extent that the organizations are open to it. Schools, colleges and departments continually reevaluate the benefits and potential shortfalls of participating in specific rankings.

Excluding the School of Law and the School of Medicine, 29 UW programs placed in the top 10, and 81 are in the top 35.

听The UW this year placed in the top 10 nationwide in public affairs, biostatistics,听 nursing, computer science, education, psychology, speech and language pathology, statistics and Earth sciences.

The UW鈥檚 Evans School of Public Policy & Governance has maintained its top-10 ranking for more than a decade and tied for fifth in the nation this year. The Evans School鈥檚 environmental policy program was ranked second, while public finance and budgeting as well as leadership both ranked No. 10.

The UW School of Nursing鈥檚 doctor of nursing practice program tied for No. 1 among public institutions. The School of Public Health has maintained its top-10 ranking for more than a decade, coming in this year at No. 9. The school also had three programs in the top 10: biostatistics, environmental health sciences and epidemiology.听

The UW鈥檚 programs in speech and language pathology tied for No. 6.听 Two programs from the College of Education placed in the top 10. And the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering this year tied for seventh place overall with three programs ranked in the top 10, including artificial intelligence, programming language and systems.

U.S. News ranks biostatistics in two ways. UW ranked No. 3 as a science discipline that applies statistical theory and mathematical principles to research in medicine, biology, environmental science, public health and related fields. UW鈥檚 School of Public Health ranked No. 7 in biostatistics as an area of study that trains students to apply statistical principles and methods to problems in health sciences, medicine and biology. At the UW, biostatistics is a division of the School of Public Health.

In some cases, such as the College of Arts & Science and the Foster School of Business, U.S. News ranks several professional disciplines housed within academic units. Programs in dentistry are not ranked.听

Ten years ago, , an international treaty听designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions and curtail global warming. Under the treaty, most nations made a 15-year promise to reduce emissions. Now, armed with a decade of data, a new 天美影视传媒-led study shows global progress, but not enough to compensate for the environmental cost of economic growth.

With its adoption in 2015, the Paris Agreement kicked off a concerted effort to reduce emissions by prioritizing renewable energy, reducing waste and tracking impact. The treaty aimed to keep the planet from warming more than 2 degrees Celsius by 2100, with a target of 1.5 C. A new statistical analysis of the data shows that the agreement has helped some nations cut emissions, but the net impact is still too high to curb warming.

鈥淭he efforts made in response to the Paris Agreement did change the course of things, but the effects were knocked out by an increase in gross domestic product,鈥� said , a UW professor emeritus of statistics and sociology who led the study.

The results were .

This study is the third in a series of papers by Raftery and colleagues. The first, published in 2017, provided a probability-based assessment of what would happen if every country satisfied its , as defined by the Paris Agreement. The researchers’ predictions were based on three components: total world population, GDP and carbon intensity, a measure of carbon emissions per dollar.

鈥淥ne of the key findings from that work was that basically, it鈥檚 not going to be enough,鈥� Raftery said. 鈥淓ven if every country met their goal, there was just a 5% chance that we would stay below the 2-degree mark.鈥�

Meeting the collective goal would require everyone to do more, but just how much more was unclear.

Four years later, in 2021, the authors came back to say that emissions goals needed to be about 80% more ambitious to keep warming below 2 C. If each country increased its emissions reduction goal by 1.8% annually, and continued doing so after the Paris Agreement lapses in 2030, temperatures might stay just under the threshold.

This new study updates the statistical methods developed in 2021 and applies them to data collected in the past decade. It reveals that carbon intensity is trending downward by 3.1% each year, compared to 1.1% before the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015.

鈥淚t’s an improvement,鈥� Raftery said, but the net result is not positive because world economies grew faster than expected. Even though less carbon was released to produce each economic unit, global GDP increased enough to drive total emissions up.

鈥淩educing economic growth is unpopular,鈥� Raftery said, and the world population is growing. 鈥淪o realistically, carbon intensity is the only factor under some kind of policy control.鈥�

Still, the data does contain promising trends. The chance of 鈥渢he most catastrophic climate change,鈥� where temperature increases by 3 or more degrees, has gone down since 2015, from 26% to 9%. The likelihood of keeping warming below 2 degrees has also increased from 5% in 2015 to 17%.

All countries can and should continue looking for ways to contribute but some have more power than others, according to Raftery. The bigger the economy, the greater its impact on carbon intensity.

China, which is responsible for nearly one-third of total global carbon emissions, saw dramatic economic growth over the past decade. Although the country managed to reduce its carbon intensity 36% by 2024, its emissions shot up as GDP rose.

Both India and Russia followed similar trends, with observed emissions climbing far above their projected goals.

鈥淐hina and the U.S. have the biggest economies and are among the most wasteful countries,鈥� Raftery said. The carbon intensity for China was three times that for Germany, which is the largest economy in the European Union. Carbon intensity for the U.S. was 50% higher than that for Germany.

When President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, from the Paris Agreement for a second time. After he withdrew during his first term, former President Joe Biden rejoined and pledged that the U.S. would reduce its emissions 60% from peak levels by 2035. To evaluate how the climate will change if the U.S. makes no contribution, the researchers ran the numbers again without it.

If all the other participating countries meet their goals, the projected temperature increase goes up by 0.1 C and the chance of staying below 2 C decreases from 34% to 27%. The researchers note that this is an optimistic projection. It assumes that the U.S. will stop making cuts, but does not account for the possibility that it will reverse the trend by increasing carbon intensity.

鈥淭he fact that the Paris Agreement did work in reducing at least carbon intensity is good news,鈥� Raftery said. 鈥淭here need to be bigger efforts made to offset economic growth, but there is reason for hope.鈥�

Coauthors include and , both former UW graduate students of statistics. This research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

If you鈥檝e interacted with an artificial intelligence chatbot, you鈥檝e likely realized that all AI models are biased. They were trained on enormous corpuses of unruly data and refined through human instructions and testing. Bias can seep in anywhere. Yet how a system鈥檚 biases can affect users is less clear.

So a 天美影视传媒 study put it to the test. A team of researchers recruited self-identifying Democrats and Republicans to form opinions on obscure political topics and decide how funds should be doled out to government entities. For help, they were randomly assigned three versions of ChatGPT: a base model, one with liberal bias and one with conservative bias. Democrats and Republicans were both more likely to lean in the direction of the biased chatbot they talked with than those who interacted with the base model. For example, people from both parties leaned further left after talking with a liberal-biased system. But participants who had higher self-reported knowledge about AI shifted their views less significantly 鈥� suggesting that education about these systems may help mitigate how much chatbots manipulate people.

The team July 28 at the Association for Computational Linguistics in Vienna, Austria.

鈥淲e know that bias in media or in personal interactions can sway people,鈥� said lead author , a UW doctoral student in statistics and in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. 鈥淎nd we鈥檝e seen a lot of research showing that AI models are biased. But there wasn’t a lot of research showing how it affects the people using them. We found strong evidence that, after just a few interactions and regardless of initial partisanship, people were more likely to mirror the model鈥檚 bias.鈥�

In the study, 150 Republicans and 149 Democrats completed two tasks. For the first, participants were asked to develop views on four topics 鈥斕齝ovenant marriage, unilateralism, the and multifamily zoning 鈥� that many people are unfamiliar with. They answered a question about their prior knowledge and were asked to rate on how much they agreed with statements such as 鈥淚 support keeping the Lacey Act of 1900.鈥� Then they were told to interact with ChatGPT 3 to 20 times about the topic before they were asked the same questions again.

For the second task, participants were asked to pretend to be the mayor of a city. They had to distribute extra funds among four government entities typically associated with liberals or conservatives: education, welfare, public safety and veteran services. They sent the distribution to ChatGPT, discussed it and then redistributed the sum. Across both tests, people averaged five interactions with the chatbots.

Researchers chose ChatGPT because of its ubiquity. To clearly bias the system, the team added an instruction that participants didn鈥檛 see, such as 鈥渞espond as a radical right U.S. Republican.鈥� As a control, the team directed a third model to 鈥渞espond as a neutral U.S. citizen.鈥� A recent found that they thought ChatGPT, like all major large language models, leans liberal.

The team found that the explicitly biased chatbots often tried to persuade users by shifting how they framed topics. For example, in the second task, the conservative model turned a conversation away from education and welfare to the importance of veterans and safety, while the liberal model did the opposite in another conversation.

鈥淭hese models are biased from the get-go, and it鈥檚 super easy to make them more biased,鈥� said co-senior author , a UW professor in the Allen School. 鈥淭hat gives any creator so much power. If you just interact with them for a few minutes and we already see this strong effect, what happens when people interact with them for years?鈥�

Since the biased bots affected people with greater knowledge of AI less significantly, researchers want to look into ways that education might be a useful tool. They also want to explore the potential long-term effects of biased models and expand their research to models beyond ChatGPT.

鈥淢y hope with doing this research is not to scare people about these models,鈥� Fisher said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 to find ways to allow users to make informed decisions when they are interacting with them, and for researchers to see the effects and research ways to mitigate them.鈥�

Monday, June 2, 5:00 – 7:00 pm | (Jackson School)

This talk discusses the unconventional forms of care that emerge out of Kurdish resistance in Turkey, where mothering becomes a powerful response against necropolitical state violence. By centering the stories of two Kurdish mothers who had to care for their dead children and mother beyond life under the violent state of emergency regime declared in 2015; the talk examines how Kurdish mothers 鈥渞escue the dead鈥� (Antoon, 2021) from the necropolitical state and create their necropolitical power through a radical embrace of death and decoupling of mothering from the corporeal link between the mother and the child.

Monday, June 2, 3:30 – 5:00 pm | (The Ellison Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies)

Why do some protests in autocracies attract popular participation while others do not? Masaaki Higashijima’s, University of Tokyo, paper argues that when opposition elites and the masses have divergent motivations for protesting, anti-regime mobilization struggles to gain momentum. Moreover, this weak elite-mass linkage is further exacerbated when autocrats selectively repress protests led by opposition elites while making concessions to those organized by ordinary citizens.

Tuesday, June 3, 5:00 – 6:30 pm | (Communications)

A conversation with local public media leaders about current challenges–including federal funding cuts–and pathways forward for sustaining public service journalism.

Speakers include:

Wednesday, June 4, 3:30 – 4:30 pm | (Psychology)

Cognitive biases 鈥� such as attentional biases toward aversive cues, distorted expectations of negative events, and biased interpretations of ambiguity 鈥� are central features of many forms of psychopathology. Gaining a deeper understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying these biases is crucial for advancing theoretical models and clinical interventions.

In this talk, Prof. Hadas Okon-Singer will present a series of studies exploring emotional biases in both healthy individuals and participants diagnosed with social anxiety, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.

Wednesday, June 4, 12:30 – 1:30 pm | (Center for Statistics & Social Sciences)

Many statistical analyses, in both observational data and randomized control trials, ask: how does the outcome of interest vary with combinations of observable covariates? How do various drug combinations affect health outcomes, or how does technology adoption depend on incentives and demographics? Tyler McCormick’s, Professor, Statistics & Sociology, 天美影视传媒, goal is to partition this factorial space into “pools” of covariate combinations where the outcome differs across the pools (but not within a pool).

When 天美影视传媒 President Ana Mari Cauce launched the Population Health Initiative in 2016, she spoke in soaring, ambitious terms. 鈥淲e have an unprecedented opportunity to help people live longer, healthier, more productive lives 鈥� here and around the world,鈥� she said. UW researchers have leapt at that opportunity, forging connections across the university, working side by side with community partners and breaking down traditional barriers to improving public health. 听

In just eight years, the Initiative has funded 227 innovative, interdisciplinary projects. Many are focused right here in Western Washington, where projects have helped in South Seattle, identified soil contaminants in community gardens in the Duwamish Valley, and improved how community leaders along the Okanogan River . Other projects have reached across the globe, targeting health disparities in Somalia, Peru, Brazil and more.听听

鈥淚n this relatively short period of time, we鈥檝e demonstrated the power that accrues when faculty and staff across the various areas of our campuses are working together and also exposing students to the cutting-edge work of tackling grand challenges,鈥� Cauce said in her most recent .听

And they’re just getting started. Many PHI-funded projects are still in their earliest stages, leveraging initial funding to show proof-of-concept for their ideas and setting the stage for future work. Fourteen projects so far have received much larger grants to empower researchers and community partners to expand successful projects and scale up for greater impact.听

With the Initiative now a third of the way into its 25-year vision, UW News checked in with three projects that recently received funding to scale their efforts.听

Spotting potential memory health issues in rural Washington

Diagnosing memory health issues in the best of circumstances is extraordinarily difficult. Patients typically make multiple visits to their doctor and take a many of which can produce flawed results 鈥� people who take the same test more than once, for example, will often score higher, potentially masking memory loss. 听

It鈥檚 even harder in rural America, which has a Patients seeking memory care might have to make a long, expensive trip to a major city, which leads many people to wait until a problem becomes apparent. By then, it鈥檚 often too late 鈥� modern treatments can slow the progress of memory loss, but there鈥檚 no way to regain what鈥檚 been lost.听

鈥淪o, how do you catch it early?鈥� said , a UW associate professor of psychology. 鈥淲e give people an app to have them check for themselves.鈥澨�听

Stocco and , director of the UW Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease Research Center, together with Hedderik van Rijn of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, led the development of an online program that can measure a person鈥檚 memory and predict their risk of memory disorders. Like a flash-card app that helps students cram for a test, the program shows pictures and asks the user to recall what they saw a few minutes earlier. The app records how quickly and accurately the user responds to each question and makes the next one a little easier or more difficult.听听

Researchers have long understood that a person鈥檚 ability to recall a specific memory tends to fade over time. This is called the 鈥�.鈥� In听 Stocco and van Rijn found that they could measure individual differences in the slopes of such curves.听 The app works by comparing a person鈥檚 responses to an internal model of forgetting and adjusting the slope of the model until it matches the responses. The resulting slope can be used to estimate the likelihood that their memory is fading faster than normal.听听

By taking the test regularly, a person can track their memory鈥檚 decline over time. But preliminary tests, Stocco said, have shown that even a single use can spot a potential problem.听

鈥淛ust by looking at a single lesson, based on the result, there鈥檚 almost a perfect correspondence between the speed of forgetting and your probability of being diagnosed by a doctor,鈥� Stocco said. 鈥淚t can be as accurate as the best clinical tests but, instead of taking two or three hours, this can be done in eight minutes, and you don鈥檛 need a doctor.鈥�听

A Tier 3 grant from the Population Health Initiative and a collaboration with the will allow the researchers to share the app with up to 500 people in rural and counties. Participants can take the test on their own time, and the results will be shared with researchers. If a potential problem emerges, the researchers plan to invite participants to Seattle for an in-person evaluation.听听

鈥淚t鈥檚 a solution that seems to solve these problems of early access and diagnostic bottlenecks,鈥� Stocco said. 鈥淚f this works, there鈥檚 no problem giving it to everybody in the state. We鈥檙e really interested in expanding and adding people from underrepresented populations and underrepresented areas, and the grant will allow us to do that.鈥�听

Nancy Spurgeon of the Central Washington Area Health Education Center is also a collaborator on the project to test the prototype app, which is not yet available to the public.听

Revamping the Point-In-Time Count to better understand King County鈥檚 unhoused population听

For years, volunteers fanned across King County on a cold night each January, flashlights and clipboards in hand, searching for people sleeping outside. They鈥檇 also gather the shelter head counts for that night. Officially called the , this effort attempted to tally the number of people who lacked stable housing. This endeavor was replicated in cities across the country, and the results were combined to create a national count that influences how the federal government allocates funding.听

There鈥檚 just one problem 鈥� the count is Volunteers can鈥檛 possibly find everybody. It captures only a single moment in time, and collects only limited data on people鈥檚 circumstances or personal needs. A person sleeping in their car might need different services than a person who sleeps in a tent, and the count didn鈥檛 fully capture that distinction.听

So, a team of UW researchers designed a better way to count. Their method, detailed in a published Sept. 4 in in the American Journal of Epidemiology, taps into people鈥檚 social networks to generate a more representative sample, which the researchers then ran through a series of calculations to estimate the total unhoused population.听听听

Called 鈥渞espondent-driven sampling,鈥� the method stations volunteers in common 鈥渉ubs,鈥� like libraries or community centers, and offers cash gift cards for in-person interviews and peer referrals. Volunteers collect detailed information on people鈥檚 circumstances and needs, giving each person three tickets to share with their unhoused peers. When those peers come in for an interview and show the ticket, the person who referred them receives another small reward. The new person gets a gift card and another three tickets.听

鈥淭his method gives people a more active voice in being counted. It鈥檚 a more humane way to count people, and it鈥檚 also voluntary,鈥� said , a UW associate professor of sociology and co-lead on the project. 鈥淭he regular PIT (Point-In-Time) count just counted people. Now we can collect all sorts of information from people on their circumstances and their needs. Should policymakers want to, they could leverage that data to change service offerings.鈥�听

The researchers received a Tier 2 grant to develop the system. They launched it in partnership with King County in 2022 and 2024, and were recently awarded a Tier 3 grant to test out the feasibility of running it quarterly.听听

鈥淩unning the count quarterly allows us to estimate how many people move in and out of homelessness and whether there are seasonal changes, which are rarely measured,鈥� Almquist said. 鈥淎lso, people鈥檚 needs change depending on the time of year, and this method will help us better understand those rhythms.鈥澨�听

Other cities and counties have expressed interest, the researchers said. The team has also begun to expand the effort, aiming to improve data across the broad spectrum of housing and homelessness services.听听

鈥淎 very important byproduct of this work across schools and departments at UW is that we can create an ecosystem of people and projects,鈥� said , a UW professor emeritus of health systems and population health and co-lead on the project. 鈥淲e鈥檝e spun off projects on sleep assessments, relationships with organizations that collect data on homelessness, and we鈥檙e mapping the sweeps of encampments in relationship to where people choose to be located. We have a whole network of homelessness-related research now.听

Engaging community to mitigate flood risk in the Duwamish Valley听

More than a century ago, Seattle leaders set out to control and redirect the Duwamish River. They dredged the riverbed and dug out its twists and turns. Wetlands were filled in, the valley was paved over and a system of hydrology was severed. What had been a wild, winding river valley with regular flooding became an angular straightaway built for industry. But when UW postdoctoral scholar looks out at the Duwamish, she sees the river fighting back.听听

鈥淭he water was always there,鈥� Jeranko said, 鈥渁nd now it鈥檚 fighting to come back up.鈥澨�听

The river returned with devastating effect in December 2022, when a king tide and heavy rainfall , submerging homes and shuttering local businesses. The underserved neighborhood faces a significant risk of future floods.听

To mitigate that risk, the City of Seattle has updated the neighborhood鈥檚 stormwater drainage system and launched a new flood-warning system. But the , a nonprofit focused on river pollution and environmental health, saw an opportunity for something greater. The DRCC asked a team of UW researchers to help develop flood adaptation plans that are community-based, culturally responsive and that enrich the local environment.听听

鈥淚n the community, people don鈥檛 think there鈥檚 been enough engagement. There鈥檚 all this talk about flood mitigation, but all they see are sandbags,鈥� Jeranko said. 鈥淪o DRCC was like, 鈥楲ook, we really need the people who live in the flood zone to understand the solutions.鈥� Because we have this long-lasting relationship with them, they see us as someone who鈥檚 able to provide a list of solutions, not favor one over the others, and do it in an informative way.鈥�听

Boosted by a Tier 3 grant from the PHI, Jeranko and a team representing five UW departments, the Burke Museum and the DRCC are engaging with the community. This fall, the team will present the neighborhood with an expansive list of flood mitigation options and encourage city leaders to consider people鈥檚 preferences. Early work shows the community would favor nature-based solutions, Jeranko said. Floodable parks, for example, would provide ecological, recreational and public health benefits to the entire community, while storing flood water during storms.听听

鈥淚t has been wonderful to collaborate with the UW team on this to make sure we are centering community voices in every single step of the planning for climate resilience,鈥� said Paulina L贸pez, executive director of the DRCC. 鈥淐ommunity leadership and representation is indispensable to bring climate justice to the Duwamish Valley.鈥�听

Jeranko hopes their community-based model will be replicated by communities across the country facing similar risks from climate change and sea level rise.听

鈥淓ven though UW and a lot of other universities really support and invest in community-engaged work, a lot of times it鈥檚 fundamentally hard to make that research happen,鈥� Jeranko said. 鈥淏ut the Population Health Initiative grant was about supporting all those things.鈥�听

Other collaborators on the project are , and of the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences; of the Department of Landscape Architecture; of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences; of the Quaternary Research Center and the Burke Museum; and L贸pez and Robin Schwartz of the DRCC.听

Six 天美影视传媒 subjects ranked in the top 10, and atmospheric sciences maintained its position as No. 1 in the world on the听听list for 2023. The ranking, released at the end of October, was conducted by researchers at the ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, a fully independent organization dedicated to research on higher education intelligence and consultation.

Other UW subjects in the top 10 include oceanography at No. 2; public health at No. 5; biological sciences and statistics at No. 7; and clinical medicine at No. 9.

鈥淭he 天美影视传媒 is a powerhouse for research and discovery 鈥� both within and across disciplines,鈥� said UW President Ana Mari Cauce. 鈥淭hat research leads to cures, advances innovation in areas like climate science and transforms our understanding in ways that are critical to the future for all people and communities. We are grateful to see the impact of this vital work recognized by this esteemed organization.鈥�

This ranking takes into account more than 5,000 universities around the world in 54 subjects across natural sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences and social sciences. More information about the methodology used to calculate the rankings can be found .

In 2023, the UW was ranked No. 18 on the group鈥檚 annual听Academic Ranking of World Universities听list.

Researchers are more likely to write scientific papers with co-authors of the same gender, a pattern that can鈥檛 be explained by varying gender representations across scientific disciplines and time.

A new study from the 天美影视传媒 and Cornell University, recently published in , finds consistent gender homophily 鈥� the tendency of authors to collaborate with others who share their gender 鈥� in a digital collection of 560,000 published research articles over a 50-year period. While this observation is not new, researchers also used novel methods to rule out seemingly logical explanations for the pattern, such as a field鈥檚 gender balance or authorship norms for writing research papers.

The findings suggest a behavioral component is in play when scientists seek out collaborators.

鈥淩esearchers use social discretion when choosing their collaborators,鈥� said , co-author and associate professor of philosophy at the UW.听鈥淒o they express this by choosing same-gender co-authorship teams? How can we study this at a scale that includes multiple fields while also respecting听the diversity of authorship demographics and practices at finer-grained levels?”

The research team, comprised of scholars in statistics, information science, biology and philosophy, mined articles published between 1960 and 2011 from the online repository JSTOR. To help link genders to more than 800,000 author names, the team relied on social security records and crowdsourced data. Because of limitations in the data, this research was restricted to those who identify as men and women and didn鈥檛 include nonbinary and intersex identities.

The team then grouped authors from the same fields and eras, creating 50,000 hypothetical reconfigurations of authors.

鈥淲e re-simulated hypothetical datasets. Our thinking was: How different is what we actually observed versus these hypothetical scenarios that we constructed,鈥� said听, co-author and assistant professor at Cornell who was a doctoral student in statistics at the UW when he started this research. 鈥淰ery different, it turns out. This suggests that some other source of homophily is occurring in the data we observed.鈥�

The team can鈥檛 say definitively why researchers tend to collaborate with those of the same gender. Data science methods can鈥檛 measure intent, but Wang said the findings suggest consideration of gender may be a factor.

Other co-authors from the UW were , associate professor in the UW Information School; , professor of biology; and , professor of statistics and of social work. This research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the UW Royalty Research Fund.听

Record-breaking heat waves have occurred recently from Delhi to the Pacific Northwest, and the number of these deadly events is expected to increase. New research from the 天美影视传媒 and Harvard University gives a range of heat impacts worldwide by the end of this century, depending on future emissions of greenhouse gases.

The was published Aug. 25 in the open-access journal Communications Earth & Environment.

鈥淭he record-breaking heat events of recent summers will become much more common in places like North America and Europe,鈥� said lead author , who did the research as a doctoral student at the UW and is now a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard. 鈥淔or many places close to the equator, by 2100 more than half the year will be a challenge to work outside, even if we begin to curb emissions.鈥�

鈥淥ur study shows a broad range of possible scenarios for 2100,鈥� he added. 鈥淭his shows that the emissions choices we make now still matter for creating a habitable future.鈥�

The study looks at a combination of air temperature and humidity known as the 鈥溾�� that measures impact on the human body. A 鈥渄angerous鈥� heat index is defined by the National Weather Service as 103 F (39.4 C). An 鈥渆xtremely dangerous鈥� heat index is 124 F (51 C), deemed unsafe to humans for any amount of time.

鈥淭hese standards were first created for people working indoors in places like boiler rooms 鈥� they were not thought of as conditions that would happen in outdoor, ambient environments. But we are seeing them now,鈥� Vargas Zeppetello said.

The study finds that even if countries manage to meet the Paris Agreement goal of keeping warming to 2 C, crossing the 鈥渄angerous鈥� threshold will be three to 10 times more common by 2100 in the U.S., Western Europe, China and Japan. In that same scenario, dangerous days could double by 2100 in the tropics, covering half the year.

In a worst-case scenario in which emissions remain unchecked until 2100, 鈥渆xtremely dangerous鈥� conditions, in which humans should not be outdoors for any amount of time, could become common in countries closer to the equator 鈥� notably in India and sub-Saharan Africa.

鈥淚t鈥檚 extremely frightening to think what would happen if 30 to 40 days a year were exceeding the extremely dangerous threshold,鈥� Vargas Zeppetello said. 鈥淭hese are frightening scenarios that we still have the capacity to prevent. This study shows you the abyss, but it also shows you that we have some agency to prevent these scenarios from happening.鈥�

The study uses a probability-based method to calculate the range of future conditions. Instead of using the four future emissions pathways included in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, the authors use a statistical approach that combines historical data with population projections, economic growth and carbon intensity 鈥� the amount of carbon emitted for each dollar of economic activity 鈥� to predict the likely range of future CO2 concentrations.

The statistical approach 鈥済ives plausible ranges for carbon emissions and future temperature and has been estimated statistically from and validated against historical data,鈥� said co-author , a UW professor of statistics and of sociology with an adjunct appointment in atmospheric sciences.

The authors translated the higher carbon dioxide levels into a range of global temperature increases, then looked at how that would affect global monthly weather patterns.

鈥淭he number of days with dangerous levels of heat in the mid-latitudes 鈥� including the southeastern and central U.S. 鈥� will more than double by 2050,鈥� said co-author , a professor of atmospheric sciences at the UW. 鈥淓ven for the very low-end estimates of carbon emissions and climate response, by 2100 much of the tropics will experience 鈥榙angerous鈥� levels of heat stress for nearly half the year.鈥�

The results underline the need to both reduce future greenhouse gas emissions and to protect populations, especially outdoor workers, against dangerous heat. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the James S. McDonnell Foundation and the Tamaki Foundation.
