Although she was originally minoring in chemistry, Ash made the switch to gender, sexuality, and race studies (GSRS) after the introductory class captured her attention. “I was able to look at the world in new ways and it really fascinated me,” says Ash. “It was definitely a

The non-profit organization hauls away those hard-to-dispose-of tech items and refurbishes them for community organizations in need of, let’s say, a computer. If the items aren’t able to be reused for education, work training, etc. then the products are broken down into reusable plastic, glass and so on. “Anything that can be reused is our number one priority,” said Steve Vinzant, with Tru Recycle. That way those items don’t end up in a landfill, he said

April 19, 2010 Claim: You are what you eat Whether you had bacon and eggs for breakfast, a glass of milk and potato chips with your lunch, or a cheeseburger and milkshake for dinner, chances are you ate a lot of corn today. How so? Farm animals in the United States chowed-down on 5.25 billion bushels – that’s 147 million tons – of feed corn in 2008. Their metabolisms convert corn’s simple carbohydrates into the complex animal proteins and fats that make up meat, dairy products and eggs

Crime & Forensic Laboratory Services recommends that someone interested in becoming a forensic scientist complete a BS degree in forensic science or a natural science (Biology, Chemistry, etc.), which must include a minimum of 20 semester or 30 quarter hours of chemistry and five semester or eight quarter hours of physics. One benefit of pursuing a science major other than forensic science is that doing so gives a student more flexibility to pursue a career in forensic science, as well as other

Edgar received the grant for the research and recruited Ball and Juda to assist. “He was really working with us,” Ball said. “It wasn’t like he knew all the answers, which I thought was really cool.” The three researched a more specific ordering of natural numbers. The journal abstract reads, in part: “This paper provides an overview of the b-dominance order over the natural numbers, ℵ, using the base b expansion of natural numbers. … Here we discuss many ideas in order theory, including the

April 11, 2012 H2O Project Beginning Wednesday, April 11 a group of PLU students from various campus organizations – including Campus Ministry, Sustainability, G.R.E.A.N., and the Wang Center – are launching the H2O Project. From April 11 until Earth Day April 22, students are taking the H2O challenge and making tap water their only beverage.

Of course, they also gained a refined appreciation for Heritage Distilling Company’s products. “I’m not as into the flavored stuff, but I’m a really big fan of their bourbon, especially their Special Forces Bourbon,” Dixon says.

part of the Murdock College Science Research Program, is to support and recognize undergraduate research in the natural sciences at four-year institutions across the Pacific Northwest. The award is given to exemplary senior faculty members who run established, productive and nationally recognized research programs, and comes with $15,000 in funding. “To be recognized by your peers and in a large setting like this, you know, the whole Northwest, it really made me feel humble,” Waldow said. “There
