-making. They created and studied nanocrystals using special chemistry techniques with high-tech tools like UV-vis spectroscopy, NMR, FTIR, XRD, TEM, and SAXS. Each test revealed something new. (PLU Photo / Sy Bean) August 11, 2023 In the world of science, significant discoveries can come in tiny packages. Picture being able to make and change things so small they’re nearly invisible. That’s where colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals shine. These super small wonders are made in solution and grown to

mental challenges as well as accomplish significant movement-related goals. Promoting healthy activity and movement can change an individual’s quality of life for the better, bringing them greater joy, comfort, and confidence.Learn More About PLU’s Top Kinesiology Graduate Program:The Master of Science in Kinesiology at Pacific Lutheran University combines a rigorous academic experience with real-world and impactful applications designed to intentionally address critical gaps in kinesiology training

security. The other aspect of this to take into account is sustainability, accessibility and outreach to growers and consumers. With more research, the long-term impacts of farming and agricultural techniques can be found, and more responsible farming techniques can be implemented to help protect food growth and security. Outreach is another important component of plant biology and agriculture, because there are many misconceptions about genetic engineering in plants in particular, so direct

in third grade, I was in two youth orchestras and a youth choir, meaning that I had rehearsal every night of the week—my poor mom! As a prominent local artist, you stay quite busy! Tell us what other groups you perform with and about your teaching career. I am blessed to have an amazingly diverse career. By day, I teach so many wonderful students at Pacific Lutheran University and I teach some private students as well. They go on to do absolutely everything! Some play in Symphony Tacoma, others

a career in singing or opera? “Life isn’t a dress rehearsal,” she said. “Do your best work every time. Be accountable. Be flexible. Be able, ready and fierce with your art.” Like Van Mechelen, McIntyre arrived at PLU as a transfer student. She graduated with an English literature major, and a vocal and religion minor. McIntyre’s mother, Nancy McIntyre ’74, also graduated with a degree in education from PLU. After teaching in various places around the country, McIntyre now teaches theater arts in
