Just as things were winding down, the team found human remains in KV 27’s final chamber. Also, while reexamining artifacts found during previous field seasons, they uncovered new revelations. These discoveries will send the group back to the valley at least once more. “People, I think, are intrinsically interested in the past,” Ryan said. “I think in

-walled laboratory at the Rieke Science Center on lower campus. Rebuilding the north side of Rieke to support the unique device – including Professor Dean Waldow’s “science on display” glass enclosure – brought the NMR cost to more than $1 million, all of which was paid for by sources outside the university. Eventually, the group sees not only students using the machine for student-faculty research, but local community and four-year colleges bringing samples over as well. The chemistry faculty members

. Having a built-in support group of Lutes helped. Along with Hall and Van Mechelen, there was Novalee Richard, ’09, Stephanie Johnson ’11 and Ieisha McIntyre ’97. Johnson said that she has received huge support from her fellow Lutes, including Choir of the West members who helped her put together audition videos, and her current voice instructor (and PLU professor) Barry Johnson, who encouraged her to audition. “PLU has given me amazing connections,” she said.

example, he cites his work with BluetoothTM standards. That work involves more than 15,000 firms that are members of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, and about 600 unique individuals who actively contributed knowledge to Bluetooth technology development. Members of these firms actively collaborate to advance Bluetooth technology and then return back to their companies to compete for profits. Brown, in essence, wants to understand these competitive and collaborative dynamics while competitors work
