, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it.” Paulson honed his ability to say things brilliantly at PLU, where he majored in Chemistry and moonlighted as a philosopher, with a particular interest in the Philosophy of Science. Then, Paulson counted himself “part of the massive pre-med crowd,” following the vocational itinerary of his father—until he began to write for The Mooring Mast and discovered a philosophy of journalism. “I was getting irritated by bad reporting on science and environmentalism

insights that will guide the project’s evolution and help pave the way for future scalability. And, as the initiative unfolds, student research assistants at PLU and other partner institutions will have opportunities to contribute to the implementation, evaluation and reporting process. “We’ve designed a great project and we have a huge number of sites and high-quality researchers and practitioners involved.

hopefully give them some helpful feedback.” Now, for her math capstone, she’s running a statistical analysis, using principal component analysis to simplify the dataset and suggest ways the U.N. agency can fine-tune their surveys and reporting. If collaborating with a U.N. agency seems unexpected for a chemistry major, for Jackie, it’s been a natural outcome from the innovative interdisciplinary approach of PLU’s International Honors Program (IHON).

I left the conference with an abundance of knowledge on Washington, D.C., and the opportunities there for journalists, along with some new Facebook friends and more confidence to graduate this May with a degree from PLU.

using library database, but also expressed that they did not always know where to find sources. Detailed results can be viewed in our UHouse presentation. It’s important to note that our students are not unique in over reporting their capacity to “do research.” In the survey conducted by Credo, our students did not significantly differ from students at other institutions. National data echo our students’ research experiences and habits. If you would like more information about the research habits of

always been fascinated with reality shows,” she said. “But when you’re a reporter there’s a conflict of interest.” So she put that dream on hold for awhile to focus on other projects. Then she moved on from reporting and found herself a slot as a contestant on the Fox Reality Channel’s Solitary 3.0. “I now have time and there’s no conflict of interest,” Francisco said.
