    Biology Department Learning Outcomes Students will demonstrate an understanding of the following key biological concepts. Diversity of life evolved from a common ancestor over time by processes of mutation, selection, and genetic change. Structure and function are related at all levels of organization. The growth and behavior of organisms are regulated through the expression of genetic information in context. Biological systems are governed by the laws of thermodynamics and chemical

  • TACOMA, Wash. (Feb. 23, 2015)—Over J-Term, Pacific Lutheran University seniors Hailey Olafson and James Van Alstine presented their mathematics research at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio, Texas.

    Antonio, Texas.JMM, put on by the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society, is the largest mathematics meeting in the world. The research Olafson and Van Alstine presented, on changing the base of numbers, was conducted over the summer with PLU Assistant Professor of Mathematics Tom Edgar. Edgar says that numbers we know are “usually easy” to understand because the base is 10: We count in 1000s, 100s, 10s and 1s. For their research, though, the trio started to replace
