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

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

” understanding of it had shifted to a more holistic (and neurological) “disorder” by 1827. Then the physician Marshall Hall defined it as affecting “…all the several [systems] which constitute the animal frame,—the organs of animal and of organic life; the different sets of muscles..; the functions of the head, the heart, the stomach,” (OED). The continuity between the definitions is that the term “hysteria” was leveled near exclusively at women. Given its setting in the late 1810s, in Sanditon, Esther’s
