fireworks blasting from the top of the Space Needle, chemists can envision things differently compared to other people. Inspecting a snowflake, I can envision the shape arising from the H2O molecules lining up in beautiful geometric arrays that are intrinsically, but invisibly, beautiful. When I’m munching on a spicy, deep fried jalapeño popper, I often recall the structure of capsaicin, why it’s “hot” and so deliciously fat-soluble. Chemistry describes the way that we, as humans, look at things at an

In their own words: Kinesiology students at PLU Posted by: mhines / July 20, 2023 July 20, 2023 We asked students Megan B. ‘23 and Peyton S. ‘23 to share their thoughts on what it’s like to be a kinesiology major at PLU. Here’s what they had to say. Wondering what kinesiology includes? Overall, it’s the study of human movement and the science behind physical activity. At PLU, our kinesiology major includes concentrations in exercise science, pre-physical therapy, and health & fitness education

March 9, 2009 NMR is no longer under wraps It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. A water heater with a $743,000 price tag. But to the professors of PLU’s chemistry department, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is a dream come true. It’s easy to see they still can’t quite believe, after 2 years of waiting and receiving a National Science Foundation grant they didn’t expect to get, that it’s finally here. After being hidden behind tarps and plywood, it’s now in full display on
