  • Parker Simpson ’24 is spending his summer working at an assisted living facility in his hometown of Spokane, Washington. He comes from a family of healthcare professionals and has always wanted to help people. We sat down with him to discuss his experience taking classes…

    ensure students like Simpson get the best educational experience possible. Why did you want to study nursing? I chose to study nursing because caring for others is extremely important to me, and I am also extremely interested in biology. So, combining those two aspects in a major like nursing seemed like a great idea. Also, my grandma is a nurse, my brother’s a nurse and my sister’s a nurse, so I have had a lot of people in my life who acted as nursing role models for me who were able to show me what

    July 23, 2009 One-on-one: Behrens By Barb Clements Being a marine biologist is a pretty good gig. And why wouldn’t it be? There are obvious perks, Michael Behrens admits, to having a job where diving is part of the package. Seeing creatures swim by as they hunt for food in the Galopagos is a nice benefit, as well as diving in the rocky shoals of Washington state, which he counts as among the most beautiful places on earth. For PLU Assistant Professor of Biology Michael Behrens diving gives him

    the machine analyzes the sample, information starts appearing on the computer. To an untrained eye, the readouts seem like random squiggles and blobs. But the frequencies mean quite a bit to the chemists and the students. It tells them – on a molecular level – how atoms comprising a molecule are bonded together and what parts of the molecule are in motion with respect to the other parts of the molecule. On a more basic scale, it will help them decipher the compound they are looking at. Some solid

Constructing and deconstructing food is chemistry. “It is a way to tone down the science and make it accessible.” For instance, anyone who stops by his office is likely to get a noseful. Lytle likes to get his guests to sniff two different molecules built from two isoprene molecules each – pinene and limonene. At the molecular level pinene and
