  • Q&A with Biology Major Brandon Nguyen ’21 https://www.plu.edu/news/archive/2021/05/18/brandon-nguyen-21/

    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

    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

    the structures of dienes contribute to their reactivity trends. Danielle Cox; Angela Rodriguez HinojosaA greener SN2:  Substitution reactions of polar and nonpolar primary halides in water Substitution reactions are very important when building complex organic compounds. However, they are often performed in hazardous polar, aprotic solvents like dimethylformamide (DMF). By utilizing water as a solvent, we can adapt a greener method for SN2 reactions of primary halides. Previous student research
