., a small town which clings a point of land on the Olympic Peninsula. Each is carrying a sensitive directional microphone aimed at the canopy of a Sitka Spruce stand. About 100 feet above the trail, a chit-chit-chit sound drifts down. It’s the call of a particular type of North American Crossbill-unglamorously named “call type 10.” Predictably, the types range from one through ten, with type 10, the elusive bird over our head, having been described in scientific literature only 18 months ago

in the northwest United States, and the unique ways the sea has influenced their culture and identity. Reid prepared the following abstract for his lecture: “Twenty-five years ago, the Makah Nation successfully hunted a gray whale. This action drew the ire of animal rights activists who often rooted their criticism in racism and stereotypes of Indigenous authenticity. Drawing from the tribal nation’s historical and contemporary relationship with the sea, this talk will focus on Makah statements

to further pursue his graduate degree with a focus on pre-modern Chinese manuscripts. He notes that people are often stumped by this part of his story. Zhu recalls the many times he has been asked, ‘If your research topic is Chinese manuscripts, why are you here in America?’ Zhu’s simple reply to this question is “methodology.” He wanted to be trained in analyzing texts through the Western tradition, which he believes is unique in its linguistic approach and textual criticism. And with the

Trust, professor of chemistry Neal Yakelis and his collaborators from two other Puget Sound area universities are working to adapt this concept for their research. “It never ceases to amaze me how my students transform into young scientists through their work in the lab during our summer research program at PLU,” said Professor Yakelis. “This project has allowed them to experience the collaboration necessary to answer important scientific questions. The students’ creativity and meticulous work have

range of scientific realms, including physics, chemistry, biology, climate science, and geology. By examining the ocean from these diverse perspectives, students gain a comprehensive understanding of its complexities and significance. ESCI 102 allows PLU students to get their hands wet (literally!) with labs and field trips. These hands-on experiences reinforce theoretical concepts and foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world. One of the highlights of ESCI 102 is the field trip to the

opportunity. SRP Details What: Matching Workshop leading to Summer Research Experience Where: Virtual Workshop – Summer Research with Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences When: November 30 – Dec 3 2021/Summer 2022 Application Deadline: Friday, September 24, 2021.  We encourage all faculty and undergraduate and graduate students at U.S. academic institutions with an interest in Computational Science and Engineering to apply and experience this enriching scientific opportunity that includes the chance to meet

. Convocations are held in August to allow interns the opportunity to present their work to their peers in concise scientific presentations. Interns also must complete a written report, akin to a research paper, summarizing the findings of their research project. These reports are published and distributed to the interns and sites, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and many others. CNF REU interns receive a $6,000 stipend, plus housing and reasonable travel expenses. Full participation in the ten-week

, behavioral health, public health, or a related scientific field and currently enrolled (or will be enrolled) in an undergraduate, community, or technical college program. Ideal candidates will be interested in pursuing medical or graduate studies in a biomedical or public health field. Students will participate in authentic basic science, or clinical/translational research projects under the mentorship of experienced researchers and principal investigators. The program also includes professional

. Students will also learn about scientific writing and presentation skills, explore possible careers in oceanography and related fields, receive tips for gaining additional undergraduate research experience, and get an overview of the graduate school admissions process. The program will organize fun activities in the Seattle area, including hiking, kayaking, and sailing. Participants will be provided on-campus housing, meals, and partial travel reimbursement.
