Parker Simpson ’24 is spending his summer working at an assisted living facility in his hometown of Spokane, Washington. He comes from a family of healthcare professionals and has always wanted to help people. We sat down with him to discuss his experience taking classes…
, but what are your thoughts on the plans to improve the facility and technology? You know, investing in the sciences at PLU is investing in future nurses of our community. It is also investing in future physical therapists and doctors — all sorts of future healthcare professionals. So, investing back into PLU is investing in the future of public health and care. It’s investing in your future. Editor’s Note: PLU aims to expand well-being, opportunity, and justice in our region, including through

The American Chemical Society is pleased to announce an underrepresented minority (URM) student travel award to defray travel and/or registration costs to either the National ACS Spring meeting or the annual meeting of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical…
gain access to doctoral programs in the chemical sciences. The award is open to students who are undergraduate students interested in the chemical sciences and are from groups traditionally underrepresented in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Namely, the underrepresented minorities include African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. The award is not intended for graduate students or postdoctoral scholars. There will be a maximum of 15 awards available for each ACS and NOBCCHE

“It’s like clicking Legos together,” she says. Except that the Legos are chemical compounds contained in an 1 H NMR tube. Chemistry major Angela Rodriguez Hinojosa ’24 lights up when talking about her role in the Murdock Trust-funded research on RNA detection . A collaboration…
a biological sample. It’s graduate-level research—and for Angela, comes after taking just one year of organic chemistry. Though Angela’s path has been less traditional, she’s realized it’s not something to be embarrassed about, but to embrace and celebrate. In 2020, when struggles in her personal life began to affect school, Angela’s advisor, chemistry professor Justin Lytle, suggested that she take some time away. Initially she was discouraged, worried that if she stepped away from school she

The Dynamic Compression Summer School has been established to provide an overview of dynamic compression science appropriate for upper-level undergraduates and first-year graduate students. The four and a half days of activities will introduce students to the scientific fundamentals, contemporary research activities including informal discussions,…
? Dynamic compression experiments subject materials to unique thermodynamic conditions – very large compressions, high temperatures, and large deformations – on short time scales resulting in a rich array of physical and chemical changes. Understanding the material response at these extreme conditions is of central importance to fundamental science and spans the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Sciences, Geo/Planetary Sciences, and Solid Mechanics. Research activities related to the dynamic

Nobel Prize laureate Edmond Fischer talks to PLU chemistry and biology students about the joys and frustrations of research work last Friday, May 6. (Photo by John Froschauer) Nobel laureate talks about the unpredictability of biochemistry…and it’s just plain fun. By Barbara Clements For Nobel…
would,” said Fischer.”Then you have to decide whether to continue or if it continues to fail, whether you have the courage to drop it.” Fischer won the Nobel Prize in 1992 along with Edwin Krebs for their work in determining that reversible protein phosphorylation can be a regulatory mechanism in biological processes. Reversible protein phosphorylation is responsible for regulation of processes as diverse as mobilization of glucose from glycogen to the prevention of transplant rejection by

For Venice Jakowchuk ’23, a single general education class sparked a passion that has since taken her—literally and/or metaphorically—from Herefordshire, England and Aberdeen, Scotland to the central highlands of Mexico and back to the lands of the Nisqually peoples. Originally from Arizona, Jakowchuk entered PLU…
central highlands of Mexico and back to the lands of the Nisqually peoples.Originally from Arizona, Jakowchuk entered PLU with a dance scholarship, tentatively planning to study history and become a teacher. But a physical anthropology class in biological diversity with department chair Dr. Bradford Andrews introduced her to a field—and a way of seeing the past—that piqued her interest. And then in Dr. Andrews’s introduction to archaeology course, Jakowchuk said she just fell in love with the field
