An active part. That’s the point, according to Finstuen. Because the students in the IHON program take the same seven classes together, they’ve already built a rapport. “They are already comfortable with each other. That makes the discussions more open, more engaging. It makes a huge difference,” Finstuen said. Lively

PLU’s China Study Abroad Program. “I think one of the biggest questions is that as China develops and modernizes, does it become more Western,” Youtz said. “That’s always been the assumption.” But Jacques – obviously – doesn’t agree. Jacques argues in his book and in the interview that, in fact, China will seek to reshape the world in its own image. The strong sense of superiority rooted in China’s history promises to resurface in 21st century China and in the process strengthen and further unify

green millet, the grain is a high-protein food staple and more nutritionally dense than rice. The National Science Foundation and other funding sources support the project.   “Although millet is a culturally and nutritionally important food in Asia and Africa, it’s not commonly grown in western agriculture, so there’s not a lot of research,” Laurie-Berry says. A similar process of genetic experimentation refined rice production around 50 years ago. “After we figure out which genes control yield, the

Spectroscopy, which are techniques used to identify the product.” “Each of my reactions requires almost all these steps, which can make the process lengthy, but overall, the hard work pays off when you produce your target compound.” “My time working in the lab has evolved dramatically because not every experiment is the same, as they can vary in length, scale, and techniques. However, I was quick to adapt to these changes and learned to navigate how to approach different experiments. Research requires
