Congratulations to Mary Brunkow of the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) and Fred Ramsdell of Sonoma Biotherapeutics on receiving the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. 👏 Their groundbreaking research on immune regulation has transformed our understanding of autoimmune disease and cancer. This follows last year's Nobel recognition of David Baker from the Institute for Protein Design, University of Washington whose pioneering work in protein design has led to countless innovations and new companies. Three Nobel Prize winners in two years, all based in Washington state, highlight the incredible depth of scientific talent and discovery happening here in our region!

Major tax policy changes are here, and they could have a big impact on your bottom line. 💸 Join us for, "Navigating the New Tax Landscape: What New Tax Rules Mean for Your Bottom Line," for a timely briefing on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, restored federal research and experimental expensing, recent state Business & Occupation (B&O) and sales tax changes, and Seattle’s proposed B&O tax ballot measure. This hybrid event, hosted in person at Deloitte’s offices and available virtually, will feature tax experts from Deloitte who will explain what these shifts mean, provide an overview of immediate R&D expensing, and outline what to watch for in new state and city rules. Life Science Washington played a key role in advocating for the federal R&D expensing, and together with Deloitte we’re bringing you the insights and context you need to navigate the new landscape with confidence. 💥This event is exclusively for life sciences employees from core and research institutions only. 💥 Register here: https://lifesciencewa.org/events/navigating-the-new-tax-landscape-what-new-tax-rules-mean-for-your-bottom-line/ #LifeScienceWashington #Deloitte #TaxUpdate #TaxInsights #BusinessTaxes (fb)
