However, there has been conflict within the city about who the cathedral-mosque belongs to– Muslims or Christians. The cathedral and mosque are still

[Greenchemistry] NSF REU Bioplastics and Biocomposites Posted by: alemanem / February 13, 2019 February 13, 2019 WSU is recruiting interns for the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) that is connected to the NSF center on Bioplastics and Biocomposites (CB2). This is a great opportunity for students to gain hands on research experience in the fast-growing field of sustainable materials.  This is a unique REU program as the projects are all closely related to industry and have

in the northern outskirts of the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. This program offers interdisciplinary research experiences at the forefront of the chemical sciences. Although our faculty research groups are grounded in “traditional” areas of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, physical), most of their research projects cross boundaries between these areas. A unique aspect of our REU program is that all projects will involve collaboration between two or more research groups, including both

Program activities and work on a research project under the direction of a faculty mentor. The cohort of students will participate in exciting renewable energy research projects as well as professional development, social and outreach activities. Student participants will receive a $5,000 stipend, a housing and meal plan for ten weeks, and travel assistance. Renewable energy offers exciting possibilities for research. Students will be offered the opportunity to engage in research related to the

As Hunt and other researchers unearth more and more ancient evidence—breast cancer in 3500 B.C. Egypt, osteo-sarcoma in a T. rex femur—Hunt has formed an intriguing theory: She believes cancer is inherent in human beings and is aggravated by—rather than caused by—environmental factors. Her goal now is to gather

September 7, 2012 Government scientist shares passion for empowering women and minorities By Katie Scaff ’13 The science world needs more women, particularly in academic and research institutions, said government scientist Debra Rolison. “They’re too white — and too male,” said Rolison. “There’s a statistical imbalance between women and men.” She argued for change in her field before students and professors at a seminar in Morken on PLU’s campus Friday afternoon. Scientist Debra Rolison spoke

And unfair. “I thought (water) should be free for all, and considered a resource,” she mused before she spoke this spring at the Wang Center Symposium, which focused on water – both its growing scarcity and value, as well as its impact on socioeconomic trends. “I guess since I wasn’t a lawyer or a scientists, I saw these issues with fresh eyes,” said Barlow, who has a degree in

looking over the documents at the time, Barlow noticed that water was listed as a tradable commodity. Odd, she thought. And unfair. “I thought (water) should be free for all, and considered a resource,” she mused as she prepared her remarks as the keynote speaker for the Wang Center Symposium on Feb. 23. The two-day symposium will focus on water – both its growing scarcity and value, as well as its impact on socioeconomic trends. “I guess since I wasn’t a lawyer or a scientist, I saw these issues with
