and I do in our experiments actually bears many parallels to cooking. By varying the amounts or types of ingredients, the order we add them to the pot, and the time and temperature we heat or cool them, we work to eventually perfect the finished dish – the target compound. Safety goggles aren’t powerful enough to actually let us see compounds we make. And, unlike the chemists of the early 1900s, we don’t taste our products in the lab anymore, either. We must use special instruments to help us “see

From there we headed to Red Chili camp to be welcomed by tame warthogs and cold bottles of Fanta, which is by far the best beverage to have on hot afternoons anywhere in Uganda. Several warthogs onsite were raised by the innkeepers and are quite fearless. At one point in time I was even nuzzled by one. The next day, after a delicious meal and a nice sleep shrouded under a mosquito net we headed bright and early, 6:15 to be exact, into the savanna of Murchison Falls. Hasan shot

students that have a lot of potential and a lot of desire and interest to do well in college, but are facing obstacles that might prevent them from doing as well at PLU as they could,” said Assistant Professor of Mathematics Ksenija Simic-Muller, who taught a Summer Academy course. “What summer academy tries to do is address (those obstacles) early on by providing more support to these students.” Assistant Professor of Sociology Galen Ciscell, another Summer Academy instructor, strongly endorses the

How did a sophomore student from the West Coast get an internship with NASA in Maryland? I wanted to apply for something NASA-related since my first year at PLU. My original plan in early high school was to do something business-related because I like math. I always had a soft spot for astronomy. I just didn’t know what I could do with it. I eventually took a physics
