create artificial gravity, and how many people to bring aboard so that the genetics of those on board can be uncompromised in future generations. Next, they discuss the challenge of how to feed the population using a self-sustaining biosphere. Students then build their own self-sustaining terrarium inside a glass jar and seal it to represent the conditions that would be present on the ship. This project was a favorite for many of Heath’s students, including mathematics and physics double major

always being ready to learn new things. There has been a lot of learning I have had to do on my own, especially in subjects I don’t usually spend a lot of time on as a computer science major, like physics and math. Being excited and open to learning has really helped me in this internship.How do you manage working as a full-time intern while also being a full-time student? Prioritizing my mental health has been very important to me. I try to take time away from work and school to wind down and do

students like her for medical school. Over the years, she took advantage of all the opportunities available to her by engaging in whatever she could do to become the most desirable medical school candidate. “I wanted to be one of those people that could do good in the world.” “I did a lot in the medical field,” Thiele said. “I did a lot of things to put myself on that path.” She did well in her physics, chemistry and biology classes. She volunteered in a local emergency room for 100 hours. She studied

undergraduate.  “I didn’t really know what I wanted to study. Philosophy was something I had always interacted with but didn’t really have a name for. Then I took this philosophy class and it was like oh, this is what I have been interested in.” Dr. Arnold says, “Broadly speaking, all areas of the academy and education have elements of philosophy to them. You could do the philosophy of just about anything: physics, religion, literature etc. I don’t think philosophy is done only in its department. The way it

Chambers Bay, in order to work up to my dream career. Joseph Olson – Bachelor of Science in physics, minor in mathematics Joseph Olson ’12 is from Boise, Idaho. Why PLU? I decided to come to PLU because it was the right fit for me. Coming into college, I knew that I wanted to do something in physics or engineering while still continuing music. Going to a state school for science or engineering meant I would have had to give up guitar, which was unacceptable. The broad education offered at PLU appealed
