Each spring, every state but two "springs forward" from the dark winter into the brighter days of daylight saving time.
The switch has been in place since World War I, when European countries figured out they could save oil and energy by delaying the sunset. So, if daylight saving time is so beneficial, why doesn't everywhere have it year round?
For years, UW Law Professor Steve Calandrillo has been begging this very question. In three minutes, he shares insights into the practice's history and discusses the potentially major benefits a permanent switch could bring.
COVID-19 vaccine distribution plans are in effect throughout the country, and states are seeing varying degrees of success in efforts to make it as widely available as possible.

In three minutes, UW Law Professor and Health Law LL.M. Director Patricia Kuszler answers frequently asked questions about the vaccine distribution, including whether employers can require employees to get vaccinated, who is eligible for exemptions and whether it is possible to "jump the line" for shots.
Many University of Washington faculty members, staff and students are holding online lectures and seminars on topics related to COVID-19 and the novel coronavirus that causes it, in addition to sharing their expertise in the news.
