Four PLU women from the Department of Economics present their research at a national undergraduate conference in Memphis, Tennessee.
* King County Metro 70.4% Fares only covered 29.6% of operating costs Sound Transit 74.8% Fares only covered 25.2% of operating costs Pierce Transit 80% Fares only covered 20% of operating costs *Data on rates from 2014 Jessen used statistical analysis to examine the relationship between public transportation subsidies and ridership. She acknowledges that she didn’t find a definite conclusion, and would benefit from more time and more advanced methods. But the student-faculty research process gave

For some, summer is a time for play. For others, it’s a time for work. But for many at PLU, it’s a time for a little bit of both — through science.
that will take huge amounts of data on protein sequences and produce conclusions, notice patterns and speed up analysis for scientists to use. It is a little bit of biology, statistics, mathematics and computer science. One application of this research is more efficient pharmaceutical drug design. “This is the first time at PLU that computer science has attempted this kind of research,” Cao said. “It is very new and the experience can be used for other students later.” The research is so cutting

even salmon. It requires some specialization in taxonomic knowledge. Usually these insects are identified at the family level of taxonomic groups, as the Pacific Lutheran University Environmental Methods class does when they collect insect samples from several locations in the watershed each year (data). This is one of the large barriers in preventing the extinction of the insects that are key to the watershed ecosystem. Further Questions Through the analysis of the protection for these two

science provides an analysis of these further complications, and an assessment of current regulations. Global studies also comes in to provide insight into the cultural and social values of the people involved. With this understanding my project aims to provide recommendations of effective measures that can be used to combat the illegal trade of these species in Myanmar.I would like to thank Dr. Mckenney for her unwavering support down this rabbit hole. As well as Professor Ramos, Dr. Artime, and

forefront of technology. When you’re at the forefront of technology, you’re guessing some of the times. Amy Young: Yes you are. Kory Brown: You can do all of the strategic and analysis work and all of those pieces but you’ll place a bet and you’ll spend 10 million dollars. When it doesn’t come through, people lose their jobs. That’s painful. When your decisions are not only affecting yourself, affecting the livelihood of tens of other families is a painful professional experience that the one has to

Dear Environmental Advocates of Pierce County, Here is a picture that I took that shows the most recent view of the watershed and what it looks like. I would like to express to you the important aspects of the Clover Creek Watershed, such as the geology that takes place and how that places a role in the habitats for the living organisms and wildlife to grow healthfully. In addition, I would like to inform you on the changing environment and how over the years the climate has changed in this

ENVT 350 Environmental Methods of Investigation is a watershed-based course that examines the health of PLU’s watershed – the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed. The class has been the centerpiece of our interdisciplinary Environmental Studies program since the minor was first offered in 1992. Later the program offered its first major in 1998. In the class, students study the health of our watershed using multiple disciplines – this semester, including Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, History, and

Photo courtesy of Kam Coon – Sunrise on American Lake (within Clover Creek Watershed) Dear residents of (and visitors to) the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed, It’s easy to look at elements of this watershed and think that it’s not healthy. Looking at Clover Creek, especially at times when the flow is low, and seeing the litter around it and the debris left around, it certainly doesn’t look like the ideal, healthy stream, and reading about algae blooms in the lakes in the watershed, urbanization
