Saccharomyces cerevisiae Jessika Iverson, Senior Capstone Seminar Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to DNA mutations that change the cell’s phenotype. While this has been well characterized in dividing cells, less is known about how this process occurs in nondividing cells. Still, when in a state of growth arrest, some cells find a way to acquire a mutation that allows them to resume cell division; this process is known as adaptive mutagenesis. Work by other groups has indicated that an increase in oxidative

CareersStudents who study Biology can venture down many different paths after graduation. Some students continue their studies in the field while others take their skills and move into other fields of interest. No matter which path you choose there are many different avenues that you can follow depending on your interests and whether or not you pursue additional education. The list below shows just some of the paths that students have taken with their Biology degree.Allergist Audiologist

education occurred when the IRS asked him to develop national training courses to be delivered both live and virtually. He realized the challenges involved in developing engaging content and obtaining learning feedback. This opened the door to his exploration of many types of learning tools, including online polling.What is one instructional technique or project that is particularly effective, innovative, or engaging?“I encourage my students to bring their laptops, tablets, cell phones or anything else

MINOR20 semester hours including: BIOL 225, 226 12 semester hours elective coursework in biology (minimum 4 hours upper division required)* *No more than one 100-level course can be applied to the minor; this course must be taken prior to enrolling in BIOL 225. At least 8 semester hours for the minor must be earned in courses taken at PLU. For those students applying only 8 semester hours of PLU biology credit toward the minor, those hours cannot include independent study (BIOL 491) or

Rieke Photo Contest 2022You’re invited to participate in a Rieke Photo Contest! We’re looking for photos representing your time at PLU in the College of Natural Sciences. Subject matter is up to you, but the photo should be of a PLU science-related experience (including experiences off-campus, like Study Away). There are 5 categories in which you can enter photos: Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, Physics, and general Natural Sciences. (General Natural Sciences is a category that includes all

Seanna HewittI graduated from PLU in the spring of 2014 with majors in Biology and Hispanic Studies. A semester away in Oaxaca, Mexico led me to recognize my interest in promoting food security, and greatly influenced the avenue I took for my graduate career. I am now beginning my fourth year in the Molecular Plant Sciences PhD program at Washington State University, where I am studying the genetics and physiology of fruit ripening. As part of my thesis project, I am developing a set of
