, and the process of repetition and confirmation-bias lead discourse to become increasingly extreme and polarized. The prevalence of these scenarios is perhaps more pronounced today than it has ever been, in large part through how technology has increasingly fostered these closed systems in media and social networking. The term has its origins in acoustics, describing a hollow enclosure where sound reverberates. When composing for acoustic instruments and electronics, I’m wary of the meaning that

Medical Sciences (MAMS) program. Shelby Hatton is one of many Lutes who have gone from PLU’s pre-health science undergraduate program into PNW’s MAMS and DO programs. Recently, the two universities recognized this trend and created this partnership to ensure this path continues to serve students – and benefit communities throughout Washington.Then, in November, when the DO students transition to systems courses, the MAMS students take a set of other courses. This includes classes like biomedical

.” “You can zoom in and out on different body systems,” adds Auman. “You can turn the virtual body and rotate your perspective to gain additional insights. And what appears on the table can also be projected on all the new screens around the room.” The new virtual dissection table together with other technology upgrades in the lab ensures students and faculty can also engage with teaching and learning in virtual and hybrid ways, opening up opportunities to collaborate with students, faculty and

. Together, Laurie-Berry said, they make a perfect team. “It’s really a team effort to solve a question or get to the next question,” Dahms said. “You create one little brick in this big wall that people will be able to build upon in the future.” According to Sonnenberg, much of the research on the molecular level deals with human systems. But there’s still so much to learn from how plants work. This is exactly what brought Laurie-Berry to the study of plant pathology. “We know a lot less about (plant

For an upcoming film, Chan wants to investigate the training educators receive before going into the workforce. “Are they even having the conversations about race and equity to support ethnic studies?” she asks. While making changes at the classroom or district level is commendable, she hopes to work on a larger scale, changing policies and systems to incorporate more voices. After

and strategic opportunities.What’s your advice to someone who is interested in becoming more innovative in their day-to-day life, or interested in seeing their world through a more innovative lens? I think it can start with naming creative acts when you see them and when you try them. One part of innovation is creating something new, but it is equally important to improve existing systems and maintain what we already have. If you are volunteering at a local food bank and you see a new way to

, it’s been an enriching experience, and I’ve made a lot of connections with professors for mentorship, guidance and point of view. I’ll miss those, but I feel academically ready for the next step and my future. What are your plans after graduation? I plan to teach English in Spain for the next school year. After that, I’ll return to the U.S. and apply to graduate schools. To prepare, I appreciated that PLU has systems to help you with applications and a professor as a point person to help you

like? It’s only a one-year program. In the beginning of the year you take the same Sci-FOM course – scientific foundations of medicine – as the DO students. You’re in that same class, and that’s just to cover all of the basic biomedical science information to make sure that all of the students are on the same page in terms of the basic science.  Then, in November, when the DO students transition to systems courses, the MAMS students take a set of other courses.
