2000s

Gwen Gross (Ph.D. 2004): As a new Senior Technical Fellow for the Boeing Co., I had the opportunity to testify at both the Senate Environmental and Regulatory sub-Committee and the full House Science Committee hearings on the challenges of new chemical introduction and chemical obsolescence within the current EPA process when coming from a highly regulated industry like aerospace where the R&D time lines can be very long due to those certification and regulatory specifications. A recording is posted at congress.gov. (Dr. Gross's testimony begins at 35:12.) (added February 6, 2026)

Bảo Nguyễn (B.S. 2008) was featured in University of Washington Magazine in a profile titled "People before profit" about his career path and business called Phin, a community-centered Vietnamese coffee shop in the International District. (February 5, 2026)
