December 1, 2009 Perspective – The view through safety goggles Folks around Rieke Science Center – and sometimes in other parts of campus when I’m running late for a meeting – often see me donning a certain accessory that is quintessential to chemists worldwide: safety goggles. We all wear them. Our laboratory students often complain that the goggles are uncomfortable or fog up during a frustrating lab day. But as a regular user through my years in research, I’m indebted to them for reasons

. But it is not only that: Other opportunities include archaeological digs with the Makah Nation, working on Emmy-award documentaries with MediaLab, or studying climate change in Antarctica. All told, each year there are more than 50 grant-supported student-faculty research and creative projects. It is that type of experience that PLU is known for – professors and students side-by-side, conducting research in the lab or in the field. #7 We know what it means to be successful PLU is distinguished by

creatures produce and release, the timing of these activities, and the underlying reasons driving such behavior. It is similar to solving a complex puzzle that promises deeper insights into the enigmas of our oceans. Flaspohler and Fisher collected water samples to identify the array of compounds present and their fluctuations over time. They also undertook hands-on experiments cultivating phytoplankton – microscopic plant-like organisms – within the lab. Their mission was twofold: they grew and

range of questions that help me recall my own knowledge on the subject. I get to meet new people and be uber-nerdy all the time, which is great for me. Who did you conduct chemistry research with, and on what topic? I did one summer of ecology research in the summer of 2021, developing PCR tests similar to COVID tests for a specific fungal pathogen that affects snakes. In the summer of 2022, I was in Dr. Waldow’s chemistry lab working on synthesizing new conductive polymers. I was working on organic

scenario … to explore the dissection process and have a physical cadaver before us instead of looking at a computer. A lot of the body’s veins and arteries are not the same, so being on a computer was not as helpful for me in understanding the physical body.   This summer, work is being done to improve the Anatomy and Physiology Lab by upgrading virtual learning equipment and room ventilation. There are plans to update Leraas Lecture Hall next summer. Those renovations could include converting it to a
