July 23, 2009 One-on-one: Behrens By Barb Clements Being a marine biologist is a pretty good gig. And why wouldn’t it be? There are obvious perks, Michael Behrens admits, to having a job where diving is part of the package. Seeing creatures swim by as they hunt for food in the Galopagos is a nice benefit, as well as diving in the rocky shoals of Washington state, which he counts as among the most beautiful places on earth. For PLU Assistant Professor of Biology Michael Behrens diving gives him

alongside Sylvia Earle, a pioneering marine scientist. “I’ve done no fewer than six reports on this woman and dressed up as her for career day in third grade,” Mooney said with a laugh. “She sits just down the hall from me.” Mooney, who earned a degree in biology at Pacific Lutheran University, is a senior program manager at the National Geographic Society. She’s tasked with building a new program called Beyond Yellowstone, a conservation program in the greater Yellowstone National Park ecosystem that

The mission of the PLU Chemistry Department is to provide high quality educational programs for all students who study chemistry at PLU.
“This summer has been such a great experience in research,” said Fisher. “In our lab, I got to practice a lot of different chemistry and biology-based methods to understand marine microbes on a molecular level.” Unlocking the Magic of Colloidal Nanocrystals Research students examine how liquids and tiny particles affect nanocrystal growth, mastering the art of precise material-making.

She found a home in the geosciences department after returning to school from her service. “When I started going back to school I really found a love in geology and this summer has really brought that home to me,” Denham said. “It has helped me understand that I am doing something that I really am passionate about. It doesn’t really feel like doing work when you’re doing something that you like to do.” And the work that Wilcox, Denham and
