to capture the best images for use in their investigations- observing dynamics, temperatures, and luminosity of celestial objects,” Hay concluded. Seeing Stars:Dr. O'Neill is assembling the 3D-printed Bahtinov Mask, unique for PLU's telescope. The mask makes focusing the telescope on a star easier before image capture.Mentorship:O'Neill looks on while interns discuss celestial image processing.

disease modeling, cardiovascular disease modeling requires the specific emulation of cardiac tissue microenvironments to account for the spatial and geometric assemblies found in human tissues. Microfluidic cardiovascular models were successfully generated to emulate the extracellular matrix – a microenvironment found in cardiac arterial tissues. This extracellular matrix was not accounted for in two dimensional modeling. Utilizing this microfluidic model, a disease model for thrombus formation and
