transitioned school online. I was also a commuter student, so I can’t speak much about campus life. With that said, my experiences at PLU have been wonderful. I’ve participated in several organic chemistry and biology labs and always felt that PLU had sufficient resources. Yeah, some money could be spent on buying better ring stands or heat plates, but I am very satisfied with the lab tools provided to the students. Professors are always willing to chat during office hours and happy to answer questions

Have you ever wondered how the ocean’s tiniest inhabitants play a significant role in shaping our world? Marine microorganisms, minuscule life forms, wield a vital influence over our planet’s climate. They manage crucial components like carbon and oxygen within the vast oceans and the atmosphere.…
, and psychology. Exploring the when, what, and why of labile metabolite production and excretion by marine microorganisms “These organisms are tiny, but they are diverse and abundant, and their cellular activities all add up together to control how much carbon makes it into the deep ocean, where it is stored for thousands of years or even longer,” said Professor Boysen. “We use analytical organic chemistry tools, such as gas-chromatography mass spectrometry, to measure the molecules that microbes

Current research is aiming to improve cell efficiency. We show that when comparing different architectures for the P3HT/ (C60, PCBM) system

Accepted to med school For those passing through northwestern Idaho, here’s hoping you don’t meet Guy Jensen. Jensen is a volunteer emergency medical technician, who, during the summer, is likely to be one of the first people on the scene in the event of a…
dental school, or another heath science professional school. For Jensen, this meant working with Matt Smith, associate professor of biology and chair of the department. Smith is one of six natural science professors on the Health Sciences Committee. At PLU, most students on the health-sciences track work through the biology curriculum and take an entire year of organic chemistry. By the junior year, with most of the lower-division classes out of the way, students select classes and extra-curricular

Andrew Miller ‘14 and his partners at Mount Vernon’s Tulip Town were counting on a big haul in April. That’s when 350,000 tourists normally flock to the area to celebrate the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and admire seas of colorful blooms. A graduate of PLU’s…
of their main revenue source, Tulip Town staff sold bulbs and organic flour from a farm stand in their parking lot. They also developed a shipping program, allowing them to sell to remote customers for the first time.Less orthodox was a new program called “What’s at Stake” that allowed customers to honor loved ones by placing memory markers in the tulip fields. These are displayed on the company web site and were a much bigger hit than anticipated. “We thought there would be about 300 people that

the organic material present from the vegetated riparian zone. This material is a food source for other aquatic species and without restoration efforts would not be there (Streamkeeper’s Field Guide). Overall, restoration efforts at Clover Creek Reserve have benefited water quality in the area which is important for other downstream sites and the watershed as a whole! Supporting local restoration projects can help lessen the impacts of urbanization on the watershed. Since water is critical for
