March 9, 2009 NMR is no longer under wraps It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. A water heater with a $743,000 price tag. But to the professors of PLU’s chemistry department, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is a dream come true. It’s easy to see they still can’t quite believe, after 2 years of waiting and receiving a National Science Foundation grant they didn’t expect to get, that it’s finally here. After being hidden behind tarps and plywood, it’s now in full display on

September 3, 2009 New Chemistry department instrument will help students and profs probe world of the atom It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. But to the students and professors gathered around it – or, more accurately, the computer that transmits readouts from it, the machine is pure magic. It is called a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, or NMR. Today, the students from Professor Neal Yakelis’ organic chemistry lab are trying to figure out the structure of an unknown

community during the two-day Food Symposium presented by the Philosophy Department last week. The symposium began with a series of sessions for the symposium’s presenters on Feb. 20. They started the morning with a discussion on a variety of food topics, including organic agriculture and food system sustainability, supporting local farmers and achieving changes in the food system, and food costs. Among the presenters was an array of PLU students, staff, and professors, and community members, with a

ACS Career Events 2021 Careers in Chemistry for Undergraduates Posted by: alemanem / February 11, 2021 February 11, 2021 Three virtual events during three successive Wednesdays. The first is on February 24th. All STEM students (not just chemistry students) of all levels (freshman through senior) will benefit from the events. Event 1: Feb 24th, 2021 at 5:30-6:30 PM – Dr. Mark Lonergan, “So you decided you want to be a graduate student in chemistry, what’s next?”  Event 2: March 3rd, 2021 at 5:30

, and psychology.Exploring the when, what, and why of labile metabolite production and excretion by marine microorganisms "These organisms are tiny, but they are diverse and abundant, and their cellular activities all add up together to control how much carbon makes it into the deep ocean, where it is stored for thousands of years or even longer,” said Professor Boysen. “We use analytical organic chemistry tools, such as gas-chromatography mass spectrometry, to measure the molecules that microbes

– have guided the ranch to produce mainly organic beef, as well as organic chicken, pork, lamb and turkey. Thundering Hooves provides meat to food clubs in the Seattle area – and to PLU. The organic beef is just one of the many organic and local food items that have made their way into The Commons as roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and French dip. Joel Huesby recounted the “holy cow” moment 10 years ago that prompted the family decision to go organic: The ranch had received a cow that was barren
