Biology graduate student Itzue Caviedes-Soli was named one of the Husky 100. Each year, the Husky 100 recognizes 100 UW undergraduate and graduate students from Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma in all areas of study who are making the most of their time at the UW. Students are evalutated on how well they demonstrate the following: Connect the Dots, Discovery Mindset, Commitment to Inclusive Community, Capacity for Leadership, and Ready for What is Next.

About Itzue's research: I am a frog lover and a travel enthusiast who is extremely passionate about my research; searching for frogs allows me to witness breathtaking landscapes and taught me that true passion can take you to happy places. But there is enough frog love for everyone! So I also truly enjoy sharing science and promoting feelings of discovery with all members of society; by combining art with science, I design creative ways to teach, to do outreach and to produce engaging science communication.

Biology undergraduate students Joshua Dawson, Alexis Rodriguez-Pantaleon, and Mollye Zahler were also nominated.
