As the city continued to urbanize, the creek started to become channelized. In PLU’s Report on the Landscape Master Plan, we see an image of the creek being maintained for aesthetic and economical purposes. In other cases, such as with McChord Air Force base, the creek was moved below the surface.

Research in Interdisciplinary STEM Education (RISE) is a 9-week residential summer research experience for undergraduate students in chemistry, education, life sciences, mathematics, or physics. Participants will join interdisciplinary teams mentored by faculty to investigate STEM learning across formal and informal environments with a focus on understanding issues related…
yet meet the prerequisites for general chemistry. The course abandons the traditional chapter ordering of topics in general chemistry to develop students’ understanding of four principle concept areas: 1) Quantitative Relationships, 2) Atomic and Molecular Structure, 3) Energy and Energy Changes, and 4) Chemical Reactivity. Through a “flipped classroom” approach, students read, watch videos, and work through practice problems before each class meeting to prepare them for higher-order problem

Rather it is something that exists within many words.” Hall worked with a tribal elder to come up with a phrase equivalent to the English word interconnectedness. “When I talked to my tribal elder and asked him if we had a word to explain interconnectedness, the first thing he said was -mixw, a suffix in our language that means life force or anything with life force in it, like the earth,” she said. “A lot of our words in our language have to do with life and the environment, and that is why there is

A Nikon Eclipse 80i fluorescence microscope system was used to obtain images at 3 excitation wavelength ranges, seeking optimal exposure and software settings. Commercial and open source software tools were then used for

investigate processes that change the Earth over time, including dramatic geological processes such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and ongoing processes associated with rivers, wind, glaciers, oceans, and soil erosion. Geoscientists are trained to explore how the materials of the Earth react over different time scales, from seconds to billions of years, and over different spatial scales, from atomic to planetary.Study in the earth science requires creativity, collaboration, and the ability to

In the world of science, significant discoveries can come in tiny packages. Picture being able to make and change things so small they’re nearly invisible. That’s where colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals shine. These super small wonders are made in solution and grown to have different sizes…
the variety that chemistry offers as a dynamic field of interest. Studying nanoparticles allowed me to become more familiar with material, physical, and inorganic chemistry, which are branches that I am interested in,” reflected Smith. “I enjoyed having the opportunity to use characterization techniques like X-Ray Diffraction, Small Angle X-ray Scattering, and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Before this research experience, I knew that I wanted to go to graduate school, and this experience
