TACOMA, WASH. (July 27, 2016)- Amidst crowds of politicians, scientists and international leaders, two Lutes will travel abroad and walk the halls of the annual Conference of Parties for the United Nations in November. They will represent a quarter of a small contingent of college…
Yakelis, chemistry department chair “I think that PLU has a lot of professors who are here because they get excited about the things their students are doing,” she said. “And as a student it’s really empowering to have professors who do get so excited.” Smith came to PLU not intending to major in chemistry. She knew she was interested in environmental science, but thought biology would be her path. After taking organic chemistry, Smith found her passions and talent with chemistry. “Here, the

The pre-professional program at PLU is a course of study (not a major) that prepares you for admission into a professional school or training program following your undergraduate study.
of Biology (2 semesters) General Chemistry (1 semester, some schools require 2 semesters) Organic Chemistry with laboratories (1 year) Mathematics – an appropriate level course (typically pre-calculus) General Physics with laboratories (1 year) Other courses often required may include: Microbiology Molecular Biology or Biochemistry

For some, summer is a time for play. For others, it’s a time for work. But for many at PLU, it’s a time for a little bit of both — through science.
relatively large and important goal.” Building better batteriesDean Waldow “I think it’s really cool that I can go home to my parents and say I am working on improving batteries and that has an actual reaction from them,” chemistry major Katie Gardiner ’18 said. Gardiner is one of the student researchers for Dean Waldow, professor of chemistry. She is working alongside Jacob Finney ’18 to build better, safer batteries. Last summer she conducted research in an organic chemistry lab at PLU, which didn’t

Amanda Dodson, Senior Capstone Seminar About 37% of U.S. adults are diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), which is the combination of metabolic risk factors including insulin resistance,
their effect on the current production in organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) devices were studied. Different weight fraction blends of the charge conductive polymer (poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl, P3HT) and an ion conductive ROMP based polymer with oligomeric ethylene oxide sidechains were studied at weight fractions of 1.00, 0.95, 0.85, 0.75, 0.65, 0.40, and 0.20 with respect to P3HT. A solution of 100 mM potassium hexafluorophosphate (KPF6) was used to dope the OECT. Transconductance was

TACOMA, WASH. (Oct. 6, 2017)- When George and Helen Long reached out to Pacific Lutheran University 10 years ago, all they knew was that they wanted to support the sciences. “George sort of felt like he owed his success and his career to PLU,” said…
said. The second annual event on March 6, 2018, will feature Pamela Ronald, Ph.D., a renowned scientist who researches genetically-modified organisms. Ronald will speak about genetic science in food, an issue she knows intimately as her spouse is an organic farmer. More details about the event to come.

Gregory Peterson, Senior Capstone Seminar Controlled living anionic polymerization was employed to synthesize tetrablock copolymers in order to determine their compatibilizing ability in polymer
applications, including electrochemical, bio-organic/pharmaceutical, and industrial processes. In recent years, the vast majority of RTILs studied have been the imidazolium species. Presented in this capstone is the optimized synthesis of recently-described 1,3,4-alkyl-1,2,3-triazolium-based RTILs. which are facilely afforded (yields> 85%) via the [3+2] copper-catalyzed “Click” reaction between an azide and terminal alkyne. The complete synthesis time has been reduced from days to a few hours. Despite RTIL

The Anderson research group addresses three domains in the physical sciences: chemical reactivity viewed from the microscopic perspective of electron structure, molecular orbitals and reactivities
Ronald and colleagues received the Tech Award for innovative use of technology to benefit humanity. In 2014 she was named one of the world’s most influential scientific minds by Thomson Reuters, in 2015 was selected by Scientific American as one of the world’s 100 most influential people in biotechnology and in 2016 was named one of the 50 innovators and visionaries who will lead us toward a more sustainable future by Grist magazine.

Daniel Amster, Senior Capstone Seminar Botryococcus braunii is a green algae capable of producing botryococcene using squalene synthase-like (SSL) enzymes.
Botryococcus braunii race B is a green colonial microalga that produces high quantities of organic hydrocarbon terpenes. One such hydrocarbon is botryococcene, whose structure consists of three terpene units and a branched terminal end alkene. Due to its abundance and the low carbon footprint of its production, botryococcene is an excellent candidate for investigation of its use as a precursor in the production of biofuels. E. coli have been genetically altered for the synthesis of botryococcene due to the
