Lizbett Benge ’11 describes her educational journey as “a long and winding road.” It began with her immersion into foster care and deeply influenced her time at PLU, where she grappled with a set of life experiences few of her peers could understand. Benge felt…
. postdoctoral fellow for Innovation in the Humanities at Carleton College in Minnesota. Benge’s dissertation work focused on foster-care-involved youth. Through a combination of research, interviews, and theater productions, Benge’s project asked a vital question: “What are the strategies for survival that those with foster care experience create and cultivate to lead lives they deem worth living?”Benge explored this question several ways. She examined self-portraits painted by youths in the foster care

from the host affects both the bacterial and host responses during infection. My interest lies in determining how iron acquisition not only impacts the interaction of S. aureus with host cells, but how this mechanism could be exploited as a therapeutic strategy. With the ever-increasing emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of S. aureus, the identification of alternative treatment strategies remains a priority.

A simulated replica of our RC car is created using ROS which allowed us to test our pure pursuit algorithm and machine learning models. Once the simulations achieve success, the instructions are implemented onto the physical hardware of the car. 4:00pm – Genre Busters Devin Ober (BA), Keith Petitt (BS/Poly Sci) “Genre Busters” is a project made to satisfy a niche in the deck building genre.

slow growing nature of green algae. In order to optimize its production, a method for the detection of E. coli producing the largest quantities is necessary. Tetrazole photoclick chemistry, a bioorthogonal strategy, features the UV-induced reaction of a synthetic 2,5-diaryltetrazole with terminal end alkenes of biomolecules, in turn producing a fluorescent dihydropyrazole. For this purpose, a water-soluble, cell-permeable 2,5-diaryltetrazole is desirable. A versatile precursor tetrazole, 2-(4

Most simply, gaslighting constitutes the systematic devaluing of a person’s reality in order to convince them that they are insane as a means of exerting control over them. The term itself originated from the screen in the 1944 film Gaslight. Paula, the heroine, is romanced by Gregory who becomes her husband and then proceeds to manipulate her into thinking she is mad so that he can have her committed and steal her
