ScienceChemical Comparison of Igneous Rocks in the northern Tusas Mountains Faculty Mentors: Alex Lechler & Peter Davis, Earth Science This project uses geochemical data collected from ICP-Mass Spectrometry to analyze the oxides and rare earth elements present in different igneous rocks from the same area, in order to determine if there is any relationship between them. This will help better understand the geologic history of the southwestern U.S. Iris HernandezEarth ScienceNew Detrital Zircon Age Constraints

Ann E. Buchholz, Senior Capstone Seminar The Nipah virus belongs to the family henipaviridae, a class of deadly zoonotic agents, isolated mainly from fruit bats in Asia and Indonesia.
, which is a short term but unsustainable solution for antimicrobial resistance. A long term solution is found in the use of diversity oriented synthesis (19), a synthetic approach with the goal of creating libraries of small drug-like molecules. Nitroso compounds generated with “ene”-reactions are a candidate for a structurally novel antibiotics class as they have been shown to have activity against Micrococcus luteus, a Gram-positive bacterium. We investigated but were unable to confirm or deny the

On day one of PLU Professor of Mathematics Daniel Heath’s Designing a Starship class, students have no idea what they have signed up for — and that’s exactly how Heath wants it. The course is part of PLU’s International Honors Program (IHON), which means it…
courses “use multiple lenses in order to overcome the blindness that comes from insisting upon just one.” While Heath’s class is advertised as a starship design class, the course is actually a multi-disciplinary exploration of the current state of planet Earth and the issues facing humanity.“This is a course about asking big questions and pursuing insightful answers,” Heath writes in the class syllabus. “Although we will be using some scientific methods of inquiry and exploring scientific ideas, this
