abroad all of last year, which was really amazing and something that I would not really have been able to fit in as easily as a STEM major,” Jackie said. During her PLUS Year, Jackie was able to attend chemistry classes in person, turn her math minor into a major, and complete a minor in Hispanic Studies. After two summers working in Dr. Dean Waldow’s chemistry lab, where students have been working to synthesize a solid polymer electrolyte for use in lithium-ion batteries, Jackie realized one of her

pick up environmental cues for sexual assault and how to intervene,” she said—and then those who intervene are rewarded. “Instead of feeling like you’re a narc, we’re putting a value on acting.” SHARP also trains Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs) across all units, carefully choosing and vetting those with whom people feel comfortable before an incident. “In a Stryker brigade of 1,500 people, one Sgt. 1st Class tanker made himself part of the landscape,” FlorCruz said. “Because he blends

the NSF grant and a recent partnership with the University of Washington, Waldow’s polymer experiments are being used to create organic transistors based on polymers. While batteries store energy, transistors control the flow of and amplify electric currents. They are crucial elements of nearly all modern electronics. Waldow and his team hope to find ways to improve organic transistors for possible use in biological and medical applications. “What’s really satisfying is to see students realize

limits to those charging times can be attributed to different parts of the battery, which is what makes this research exciting for students.” Now, buoyed by the NSF grant and a recent partnership with the University of Washington, Waldow’s polymer experiments are being used to create organic transistors based on polymers.

. Eric E. Finney, Ph.D., and Elizabeth A. Kaley Department of Chemistry Forensic Analysis of Biodiesel Charles and Ann Laubach Student Research Fund The analysis of four different biodiesel blends, as well as homemade biodiesel prepared from vegetable oil, has been performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The identification of methyl esters within the biodiesel along with any background components is made possible by recognizing their mass spectral fragmentation patterns. These fuels

5. Its first production outside of the Emerald City was at San Diego’s Diversionary Theatre, one of the oldest LGBTQIA+ theaters in the United States. Huertas, deLohr, and Williams reprised their roles, and “Lizard Boy” was a hit in Southern California. "The 95-minute musical blends comic books, Godzilla mythology, ‘Spring Awakening,’ cello music and a surprisingly sweet love story in an innovative, funny and wildly entertaining way… Huertas has a sweet, nerdy vulnerability and hopefulness
