background in and knew nothing about.” Deines seems to have started on the right foot with her new identity. She earned her first badge of honor in April when the Puget Sound Business Journal and the Seattle Foundation presented her with the Women of Influence Award. The program “shines the spotlight on local businesswomen, community leaders and philanthropists who are a force in the region,” according to the publication’s website. “I am honored and so humbled to receive this award,” Deines said. “I

November 1, 2010 19-year Air Force vet challenges ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ By Steve Hansen When Major Margaret Witt graduated with a nursing degree from PLU in 1986, she began a highly successful career as a flight nurse with the U.S. Air Force. She served in the Persian Gulf, including during Operation Enduring Freedom, earning many medals and commendations. She even received a medal from President Bush for her “outstanding medical care.” That career lasted 19 years, yet it ended prematurely

” and “taste” compounds to understand how atoms have arranged themselves into molecules. By shining ultraviolet (UV), visible, infrared (IR), microwave, or X-ray light at molecules, we can illuminate intriguing bits of information that help us develop better ideas of the structure of molecules. Thanks to the National Science Foundation, the atomic force microscope that professor Dean Waldow and his students use allow them to “see” large molecules by producing images of polymers or DNA adhering to a

And we didn’t expect to get the money that would let us buy something this powerful.” This grant comes on the heels of another grant from the NSF in early 2007, where the department received $181,000 to buy an atomic force microscope. The spectrometer itself, which arrived this spring, is not much to look at – even the enthusiastic team of professors Craig Fryhle, Dean Waldow, Myriam Cotten and Neal Yakelis admit this. It looks, from the photographs, like a rather large thermos surrounded by
