University of Washington researchers have published two separate scientific studies.

One paper presents a lifeless Earth simulation. It was published 18 September 2026 in The Planetary Science Journal.[^1]

The second study is a global cervical cancer projection, produced by researchers at the university's IHME. This work was published in Nature Medicine, and draws on Global Burden of Disease data.[^2][^3][^4][^5][^6][^7][^8][^9][^10][^11]
