. Convocations are held in August to allow interns the opportunity to present their work to their peers in concise scientific presentations. Interns also must complete a written report, akin to a research paper, summarizing the findings of their research project. These reports are published and distributed to the interns and sites, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and many others. CNF REU interns receive a $6,000 stipend, plus housing and reasonable travel expenses. Full participation in the ten-week

., a small town which clings a point of land on the Olympic Peninsula. Each is carrying a sensitive directional microphone aimed at the canopy of a Sitka Spruce stand. About 100 feet above the trail, a chit-chit-chit sound drifts down. It’s the call of a particular type of North American Crossbill-unglamorously named “call type 10.” Predictably, the types range from one through ten, with type 10, the elusive bird over our head, having been described in scientific literature only 18 months ago

in the northwest United States, and the unique ways the sea has influenced their culture and identity. Reid prepared the following abstract for his lecture: “Twenty-five years ago, the Makah Nation successfully hunted a gray whale. This action drew the ire of animal rights activists who often rooted their criticism in racism and stereotypes of Indigenous authenticity. Drawing from the tribal nation’s historical and contemporary relationship with the sea, this talk will focus on Makah statements

to further pursue his graduate degree with a focus on pre-modern Chinese manuscripts. He notes that people are often stumped by this part of his story. Zhu recalls the many times he has been asked, ‘If your research topic is Chinese manuscripts, why are you here in America?’ Zhu’s simple reply to this question is “methodology.” He wanted to be trained in analyzing texts through the Western tradition, which he believes is unique in its linguistic approach and textual criticism. And with the

Trust, professor of chemistry Neal Yakelis and his collaborators from two other Puget Sound area universities are working to adapt this concept for their research. “It never ceases to amaze me how my students transform into young scientists through their work in the lab during our summer research program at PLU,” said Professor Yakelis. “This project has allowed them to experience the collaboration necessary to answer important scientific questions. The students’ creativity and meticulous work have
