specifically how tigers lap up liquids – as part of a PLU capstone project. Two years ago, physics major Matt Hubbard ’13 became intrigued by the subject when he encountered research taking place at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which analyzed the roughness and size of a tongue and its relation to water-column pull and strength. “I liked the fact that you could take a field of complex mechanics and relate it, in a tangible way, to an everyday occurrence,” Hubbard said. He worked on his project for

educators trained at PLU, among them my wife, Karen. My wife’s first public school teaching assignment was choral and general music classes in middle school – a true baptism by fire for a first-year teacher. Karen always said she got through it because of Gordon’s strategies and inspiration. Ours are but two examples of the impact this wonderful man had on so many at PLU.” The Gordon O. Gilbertson Instrumental Music Education Scholarship has been created by two former students of Gordon, Alvina Hauf

Dept of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship Posted by: nicolacs / October 30, 2024 October 30, 2024 Computational science is interdisciplinary by nature, using algorithms, mathematics and computers to analyze and solve scientific and engineering problems. The DOE CSGF’s unique program of study helps nurture this crosscutting foundation. The result: scientists who may reside in science, mathematics, engineering or computer science departments but share an interest in research using

. The term of the fellowship is May – September. The mentor and Fellow will determine the exact 10 week schedule. In this program, AAPM serves as a clearinghouse to match exceptional students with exceptional medical physicists, many who are faculty at leading research centers. Students participating in the program are placed into summer positions that are consistent with their interest. Students are selected for the program on a competitive basis to be an AAPM summer fellow. Each summer fellow

interest, I am struck by the general lack of concern for animals in universities. It seems to me that nonhuman animals have not fared well in American higher education. Photo taken during a J-term course in Uruguay in 2014 by Mariann Funkhouser (‘16) When I refer to academic animals, I am not referring directly to animal experimentation in universities, though this is a related issue. Rather, I refer to the ways academics are likely to conceptualize nonhuman animals—the animals we construct, the animal
