"Prior to getting into the EE program, I felt a bit lost because it was impossible to find friends who were interested in the major. Once I immersed myself, I met others who were passionate about electrical engineering. I felt a sense of validation and belonging, and I wanted to help other women to do the same."

What happens when you bet on the beavers?
UW Bothell alumnus Dash Paulson spent two years finding out.

Along the way, the film brings together students, faculty, environmental experts and community partners to tell the story of an ecosystem at work right here at UW Bothell.

“Road runoff goes straight down the drain and into whatever the nearest body of water is — whether it be a creek, a wetland or the Puget Sound," Dr. Lizbeth Seebacher said.

“And that was a big awakening.”

In her latest research, Seebacher developed a way to help filter out a deadly toxin that kills coho salmon. Read more: https://www.uwb.edu/news/2026/09/11/taking-the-contaminants-out-of-stormwater
