enduring nature of the relationships she cultivates. From instilling confidence in a high school senior considering PLU to guiding student researchers and mentoring faculty and staff on campus, Shore’s impact is immeasurable. The Faculty Excellence Award in Mentoring was established by a gift from the late Tom Carlson, Professor of Biology, and honors Professor Emeritus of Biology Art Gee, who excelled as a mentor to colleagues and students in his many years of service on the faculty.

opened up endless opportunities for different ways of learning and interacting with the material.”What’s new in the A&P lab?The anatomy and physiology lab, known on campus as the A&P lab, is widely utilized by students. In addition to supporting anatomy and physiology classes that meet general science requirements, it is frequently used by students in the biology, nursing and kinesiology programs. Ann Auman, PLU’s Dean of Natural Sciences, says that the lab was a space that had long been a priority

? Well, there’s a lot of science that takes place in the kitchen: ingredients transforming on a molecular level through a variety of chemical and physical processes like heating, chopping, mixing and freezing. Cooking IS chemistry, on a fundamental level. “What (my students are) doing, then, is getting kind of a base chemistry background — so learning to think like a chemist and about the scientific method,” Munro explained. “My department loves food and all the chemistry and the processing that goes

the PLU Summer Scholars program. (She didn’t know she’d also meet her husband there, Erik Brannfors ’95.)Once she arrived on campus, the biology major met now-retired biology professor Art Gee, who ignited her passion for research. Gee encouraged her to apply to medical school, which she did, graduating from the University of Washington in 1999. “Gee was one person at PLU who made a big impact in my life,” she said. And she’s so glad she took the plunge into med school and into research. After

restoration efforts in the Fred L. Tobiason Outdoor Learning Center further west. Efforts to expand and enhance the native species in the Tobiason Center have been on-going. This past year, Assistant Professor of Biology Romey Haberle helped start a biology space adjacent to the Mary Baker Russell building. The plants from that space will be used as part of the Tobiason Center project, as well as to increase native plant species presence on the vacant hill space across from the Morken Center.
