May 6, 2011 Nobel Prize laureate Edmond Fischer talks to PLU chemistry and biology students about the joys and frustrations of research work last Friday, May 6. (Photo by John Froschauer) Nobel laureate talks about the unpredictability of biochemistry…and it’s just plain fun. By Barbara Clements For Nobel Laureate Edmond Fischer, the most exciting part about research is that you’re never sure quite where you’re going to end up. The 91-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Washington

of Natural Sciences faculty, including Tina Saxowsky, principal investigator and associate professor of chemistry, along with Dean of Natural Sciences and professor of biology Ann Auman and faculty members Shannon Seidel, assistant professor of biology, and Amy Siegesmund, associate professor of biology.“We are very excited about the ability to implement the work outlined in our proposal,” Auman said. “Not only will this funding allow us to provide significant scholarship support for low-income

foster identities of achievement, diversify STEM content, and teach in intellectually rigorous and engaging ways — all of which lead to better academic outcomes for students.” “A key part of our work is to highlight vocational and career opportunities in K-12 education to our students, and to provide meaningful teaching experiences for undergraduate students considering a career in K-12 education,” said Andrea Munro, a PLU associate professor of chemistry and another proposal co-collaborator. “I am

Molecules Meet Materials Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Posted by: nicolacs / January 17, 2023 January 17, 2023 The Molecules Meet Materials REU site at the University of South Dakota will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during summers 2022-2024. In this program, participants pursue collaborative research projects, with a focus on chemistry at interfaces in which molecular processes occur on surfaces. The site will train students to use spectroscopy, electron

the broad disciplines of polymer science and polymer engineering, including chemistry, physics, engineering, and biomaterials.  These interns will take part in research and career development activities, discussions outlining their research progress and visits to regional companies.  The summer will culminate with an oral or poster presentation of each intern’s research results at the Northeast Ohio NSF-REU Undergraduate Research Conference. Support for this 9-week summer 2021 program includes a

Liebert added that the São Paulo do people use a more sustainable form of transportation: the metro, or subway as it’s more commonly termed in the United States. The Northwest is slowly following suit, with Portland, Ore., embracing its extensive light rail system. Seattle is beginning to take mass transit seriously and
