    where one might have thought they would: with other metaphysical beliefs. We all have beliefs about what there is, what is of value, and how knowledge may be obtained, that play a crucial role in our worldview. Though they are not closely tied to experience in the way a low-level scientific theory is, most of us would insist both that we really did have some reason for accepting them, and that we were open to being shown wrong. They are beliefs on which we continually act, not waiting around for

    the link between human health and time spent in the outdoors. I will show how it could be connected to identity with help from the disciplines of Anthropology and Women’s and Gender Studies. I utilize theories of intersectionality, critical race theory, and feminist anthropology to better understand the United States’s outdoor culture and how it distinguishes who is and isn’t allowed to be considered normal for existing in that space. I go over various health benefits provided by the environment

  • Rodion A. Zhuravlev, Senior Capstone Seminar Solid polymer electrolytes are a safer alternative to the current electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries.

    Conjugation James Okubo, Capstone Senior Seminar Imperfections in the two-dimensional structure of graphene-based electrodes have led to reduced chemical capacitance. Recent density functional theory calculations have shown that the capacitance can be improved via structural and morphological features of the electrode. The structure of the organic compounds known as benzofulvenes may act as a model for graphene. Rotation about the exocyclic double bond of benzofulvenes may change the conjugation of the

    focus of my time at PLU. The most important memories I’ve made here center on the relationships I’ve built with professors, and the times when I’ve been challenged to dig deeper into the material and to think in completely different ways. The experiences I cherish most are those when I’ve sat in the classroom, listening to a lecture, and that theory I’ve been studying so hard to really understand finally makes sense, all the pieces finally fit together.
