athlete who studied chemistry and biology at PLU. She eventually went on to earn a master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin. It was abroad that Blakney learned about the problems facing developing nations. She saw Panamanians with parasitic infections, primarily a result of poor water quality and sanitation. She saw how simple yet inaccessible preventive treatment was for the locals and decided she wanted to dedicate her life’s work to similar issues. Blakney’s recent field of study is new
