Students return to in-person research at PLU Posted by: vcraker / December 9, 2021 December 9, 2021 Thanks, to a $213,500 three-year research award from the National Science Foundation, four undergrad PLU students spent 10 weeks this past summer participating in intensive lab research. “The first week or two of working in the lab was very stressful.

Foege tells people to follow their “moral compass,” and his path from medical missionary to director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention certainly pointed him in

February 2, 2009 Learning perspectives About a dozen students silently sit in a semicircle around a Makah woman, as she shows them how to make a cedar bracelet. Students mimic her as she holds several foot-long strands of cedar bark strung out from her mouth to her hands. And they listen eagerly as she tells them how to simultaneously twist and braid the bark, while her teeth stay clenched on one end. She reminds them to keep the cedar damp and the material fills the room with a musky, sweet
