perspectives,” said Mulder. Professor Mulder concluded his description with an analogy from the 1999 cult science-fiction classic, The Matrix. “There’s a well-known effect in The Matrix called “bullet time” or “the big freeze” that slows everything down and allows the film’s characters to pause and consider what’s happening around them. I feel that the Innovation Studies program provides this kind of interval for students and faculty to reflect on our campus.” “PLU’s globally-focused curriculum give the

profile of Terri Card. From the exam room to executive leadershipWhen Mark Mariani ’98 was a student at PLU his singular goal was to become a medical doctor. A member of the football team and a biology major, Mariani loved his science courses, but he also found he was interested in a range of disciplines from economics to the humanities. He achieved his goal a few years later, earning a M.D. at the University of Washington. And while working with patients was just as rewarding as he’d hoped, his broad

chemistry than they think. Like cooks, chemists choose and measure ingredients, modify recipes, adjust cooking times and temperatures, and test the end results. Constructing and deconstructing food is chemistry. “It is a way to tone down the science and make it accessible.” For instance, anyone who stops by his office is likely to get a noseful. Lytle likes to get his guests to sniff two different molecules built from two isoprene molecules each – pinene and limonene. At the molecular level pinene and

(PLU Photo / Sy Bean) August 11, 2023 In the world of science, significant discoveries can come in tiny packages. Picture being able to make and change things so small they’re nearly invisible. That’s where colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals shine. These super small wonders are made in solution and grown to

PLU experience. “I realized that my gift is to be a helper to people,” she said. “I love to be in acts of service. It’s where I’m happiest.” It seemed only natural that she would decide on nursing as a career, but Rosenlund took a bit of time to get there. At the age of 53, Rosenlund will graduate magna cum laude this May with the second cohort from PLU’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program. The ABSN program is based in Lynnwood, 40 miles from PLU, and opened in 2022. With an

parents who are concerned about vaccines are coming, most of the time, from a good place. But the risk that’s associated with those vaccine-preventable diseases is not as visible nowadays. Then, on top of that, there is a great deal of misinformation on the Internet.” The incident was a catalyst for her returning to school again. She enrolled at the University of Washington, where she earned a Ph.D. in Nursing Science this year. “The reason I went back is I wanted to be able to look at vaccines in a
