this type of coaching translates off the field and into the workforce or in their community spaces? They can use these mental skills when setting goals for their career, monitoring their stress during finals, and building confidence prior to a presentation. Mental performance goes well beyond just sports and I believe that anyone can utilize mental skills for life. What would you say is the thing that you enjoy most about your role? The interactions I have and the relationships I’m building with

Shawn Brookins, Senior Capstone Seminar Alzheimer’s Disease, the most common form of progressive dementia, has transitioned among the forefront of healthcare research, lending to novel
hyperphosphorylated tau variants to the disease. This review intends to assert the validity of both hypotheses from recent induced mutation, immunoblotting, and multi-label confocal immunofluorescence studies, followed by a projection for future research. 2:20 pm - Conversion of Ureas to Hydroxyguanidines for Conjugation to Drug-releasing Polymers by Nitroso-Diels-Alder Reactions North Foulon, Senior Capstone Seminar Hydroxyguanidines are a valuable class of molecules in the field of long-acting medications

limonene are almost identical, except for the fact that their building blocks connect to each other in slightly different ways. The results are molecules that are structurally similar, but their scent is radically different: Pinene and limonene smell like pine and citrus. “Nature is using the same building blocks, but in slightly different configurations,” he said. This type of instruction doesn’t just happen in the chemistry classrooms of Rieke Science Center. It is also happening in PLU’s dining

Elaina Bonar, Senior Capstone Seminar Piscidin is an antimicrobial, cationic, amphipathic peptide that is 22 amino acids in length and adopts an α-helical shape.
Hibbard, Senior Capstone Seminar Solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ssNMR) was used to determine the structure of piscidin, a 22 residue amphipathic antimicrobial peptide isolated from hybrid striped bass. Peptide samples were oriented in biologically-mimicking lipid membrane mixtures. 15N and 1 H chemical shifts and 15N-1H dipolar couplings collected on high magnetic field instruments were processed for high resolution structural determination. Additional work was accomplished toward creating a

Thanks, to a $213,500 three-year research award from the National Science Foundation, four undergrad PLU students spent 10 weeks this past summer participating in intensive lab research. “The first week or two of working in the lab was very stressful. I, like my coworkers, lacked…
says. “Once I had a couple of weeks to figure out where everything was and to practice basic techniques, I felt much more comfortable working independently.” The work centers on polymers — large molecules made up of smaller molecules linked together like a chain — which make up everything from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon pans. In the future, it may improve lithium-ion batteries. Jackie Lindstrom ’22, a chemistry major and fellow student researcher, said that after the year of remote

PLU students present ‘The War of the Worlds’ Posted by: vcraker / November 2, 2022 November 2, 2022 Theatre major Zivia Rich ’24 loves a good story. She is especially fond of them in the form of a radio show or podcast. Growing up, the Seattle-area native spent much of her time listening to KUOW, their local National Public Radio station. “We have a radio in my kitchen, right above where we cook, so pretty much I’d wake up, come into the kitchen and KUOW would be on every single day,” Rich said
