courses “use multiple lenses in order to overcome the blindness that comes from insisting upon just one.” While Heath’s class is advertised as a starship design class, the course is actually a multi-disciplinary exploration of the current state of planet Earth and the issues facing humanity.“This is a course about asking big questions and pursuing insightful answers,” Heath writes in the class syllabus. “Although we will be using some scientific methods of inquiry and exploring scientific ideas, this

atomic or molecular level. We study the “stuff” that makes up the universe, but think about it on a very particular, tiny, invisible scale. My specialty is finding new ways to make interesting or important organic compounds – those made of mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. While many organic compounds are conveniently found in Nature (such as the innumerable caffeine molecules I drink on my way to campus each morning), others must be synthesized in labs – like aspirin or aspartame. What my students

the earth. Unfortunately, the law can also be used to stymie those efforts.”  “That’s why we are proud of how our students lean into the uncomfortable to seek justice. The legal system is a better place with PLU students navigating it.” According to Artime, PLU’s pre-law minor will offer courses from several disciplines to develop skills in understanding the law, developing a sense of professional ethics, practicing analytical reasoning, growing in their written and oral communication skills, and

compounds that contain carbon atoms) to move ions, and they work well in smaller electronics, as well as new electric vehicles, but can become dangerous. These liquids, in particular, can even be flammable under the right circumstances. Remember Samsung’s exploding cell phones in 2017? That problem, as well as some safety concerns around electric vehicle batteries, can be attributed to issues with organic liquid-core batteries. In the lab, Waldow and his students work to design, build and test molecules

Radiochemistry and Isotopes Intern Posted by: nicolacs / April 21, 2017 April 21, 2017 Intellectual Ventures and TerraPower Innovation are seeking a Radiochemistry and Isotopes Intern. This paid internship position will participate in activities related to the chemistry of radioelements and their resulting compounds. The TerraPower laboratory has a range of characterization tools including; thermal gravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, inductively

tackle real-world challenges. The data science program will provide students with essential analytical tools and techniques for extracting meaningful insights from data, enabling them to extract valuable insights from data with precision and insight. “In this era of data ubiquity, there is a high demand for graduates who major in data science,” said program director and assistant professor Jeff Caley. “Our program equips students with robust technical skills while also fostering a commitment to

studying organic chemistry in many universities. Fryhle is just finishing up the 11th edition of the book with his coauthor, T.W. Graham Solomons. The most recent edition in print has a picture of a magnolia plant on it, which is the source of a number of interesting organic compounds, such as several that are found to regulate stress responses.  As for the next edition? That hasn’t been decided yet. Each of the book’s covers, which Fryhle has been coauthoring since 1998,  has a connection to organic
