Video highlights: From sea stars to sound waves, a look back at an eventful 2024 at the UW
Magical moments and memorable events — from a baby sea star getting its first taste of the open ocean to a cherry tree blooming — happen all year round at the University of Washington, and we do all we can to help people understand what it looked like, what happened and who was involved. Here’s a glimpse, through the video lens, at 2024 from around the University of Washington and beyond.

UW videographers captured students starting their college careers and celebrating graduation, educators sharing knowledge on everything from mosquitoes to medieval monsters, researchers developing wearable tech that helps us hear a single voice in a crowd or that can be powered by our own bodies, and UW Medicine surgeons using a robot to treat a patient with degenerative disc disease. UW students, faculty and staff are at work bringing dentistry professionals to rural communities, measuring jet noise and combing community health records for connections between wildfire smoke and dementia.
If that wasn’t enough, the UW saw Prof. David Baker win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry and prepared to say goodbye to UW President Ana Mari Cauce, who announced that she will step down from her position this summer.

In addition to publishing news releases and connecting reporters with faculty experts, the news office offers video stories, soundbites and b-roll to external news outlets to use in broadcasts, online stories and social media. This year, these videos were shared by television stations, radio stations and online publications around the state, the nation and the world.
