Washington, D.C. (March 20, 2017)- When Scott Foss ’91 enrolled at Pacific Lutheran University, he dreamed of becoming a paleontologist and pursuing a career outdoors conducting research. Now, he’s a senior paleontologist at the Department of the Interior. Foss serves as a policy adviser and…
management chops on the American West, serving as a National Park Service paleontologist and museum curator at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in Oregon, and later as a regional paleontologist with the Bureau of Land Management headquartered in Utah. Along the way, he earned a Ph.D. in biological sciences from Northern Illinois University. In 2012, Foss relocated to Washington, D.C., to assume his current role, one he likens to an orchestra conductor. “I don’t get to play an instrument anymore

“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…
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 might not

PLU Chemistry professor Dean Waldow hopes to one day become useless. After all, as an educator, his job is to empower students to work confidently and independently in a field that is constantly innovating. He does this by bringing students into his lab to help…
find ways to improve organic transistors for possible use in biological and medical applications. He acknowledges that while his research may not lead to any “earth-shattering contributions” to the chemistry world, the field of science moves forward on the backs of many minor discoveries. “It’s hard for one research group to really make a major kind of contribution, but trying to help the field progress toward more effective batteries, which hopefully will help us move away from the effects of

biological problems, and the contributions that biologists can make on physical problems. The focus is on cross-disciplinary training. The program includes a week-long biophysics boot-camp, a biophysics seminar series, a research tools workshop, a professional development workshop, a journal club, off-campus field trips, and social activities. Program participants regularly present their research to, and hear about the research conducted by, their peers. By the end of the program, participants present
