By Makaela Whalen The Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed is enhanced by the wildlife it offers a sanctuary to.
discharged into bodies of water. Which, by doing so, creates a less toxic habitat for both species. There are some further points for both salmon and insects in regards to this act. For salmon, a problem remains with dams, as they alter water temperature, depth and speed. This could be alleviated by requiring them to obtain Clean Water Act source permits which would require changing operating practices to alleviate some of the burden placed on the salmon or subject the dam to CWA sanctions (Blumm 10110

Making Marty is no easy task. Martin Luther sculpture at PLU, Monday, Aug. 15, 2016. (Photo: John Froschauer/PLU) Spencer Ebbinga, associate professor of art and design, has been busy working on a special project: 17-inch statues of Martin Luther. These colorful gems are hidden around…
was the amount of forms created. There were only two bronze busts, but to date there have been 39 plastic castings. Do students learn about this process in your classes? Ebbinga: It is a process I have taught, although with less toxic and more affordable materials. Mold making provides fantastic lessons in creative problem solving as each mold offers different challenges and requires its own solutions. The principles of how a mold is constructed remain fairly constant depending on the material to

in 1984. While at the CDC, he forced drug companies to warn that aspirin might cause the sometimes-deadly Reye Syndrome, reacted quickly to alert women to the dangers of toxic shock syndrome and saw the first cases of a frightening new disease in the early 1980s: AIDS. Over his career, he has been, quite simply, recognized as one of the most important figures in public health. Tom Paulson ’80, who works with Foege for Paulson’s health-oriented blog – Humanosphere – calls Foege a “global health

At Pacific Lutheran University, natural science research can lead students all the way to Antarctica and back again. For environmental studies majors, there’s also important data to collect and analyze within a stone’s throw of the university’s campus. Clover Creek flows 14 miles through Parkland,…
infamous Friday lab sessions! Does the process differ in the spring and fall semesters? Seasonal changes in the watershed have a big impact on what students do in the fall class versus the spring class. In the fall, many locations in Clover Creek are completely dry, and this past fall one of our typical sampling locations had a toxic algae advisory. In some spring semesters, sampling locations may have too much water, making it unsafe for students to enter the stream. So our sampling plan is always

dithiocarbonate (DMDTC) to prepare symmetrical hydroxyureas. DMDTC is advantageous to phosgene because it is less toxic, gives off non-toxic byproducts, and the product can be very easily isolated. This procedure was tested for primary and secondary amines, and showed that it was only possible for primary amines to react with DMDTC. Secondary amines did not react with DMDTC under a variety of varied conditions, and showed that steric hindrance would not allow a reaction to occur under mild conditions

so toxic, we cage them for the very thing we love about them: their intelligence,” Bergman says. “I’m especially interested now in the connections between the ‘legal trade’ and the illegal trade, which these 17 (released) parrots illustrate—they were laundered birds.” Bergman and Granum initially met on a J-term trip to Antarctica. Bergman quickly became Granum’s mentor and friend, as they both shared a love of the outdoors, photography and animals. Since then, Granum has changed his major to
