    people together to create great gathering places. April Reitan (2002)After graduating from PLU 2002, I taught/tutored international and developmentally delayed students at Tacoma Community College.  Since I also have a BS in Biology, I took a job at Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center.  I work in a group in Public Health Sciences which conducts cancer studies.  Primarily, we conduct breast and ano-genital cancer studies, but we also have others like HPV-related, testicular, and skin cancer studies.

  • A year of achievement and a Decade of Change Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is a great joy for me to welcome each of you to University Fall Conference as we prepare to launch the 2010-2011 academic year, the 121st year in the life of…

    Charitable Trust funds the scientific exploration of the natural world and supports projects that will enhance the quality of life in the Pacific Northwest. Prominent among Murdock grants last year were three awarded to PLU assistant professors of biology. Michael Behrens, Julie Smith and Jacob Egge received grants totaling more than 120,000 dollars to fund two years of student-faculty research looking into the ecology of the Pacific Northwest and species divergence in several Mississippi river

  • The Spanish word, Duende (du-end-ay), has come to refer to the mysterious power that art has to deeply move a person. Soon-to-be graduates in the Department of Art and Design chose this word to rally around for their senior exhibition in the University Gallery, opening…

    raised in Washington State, she came to PLU four years ago with the intention of being a biology major, but her love of art soon led her to turning her passion into an everyday part of her life. She graduates Pacific Lutheran University this Spring as a Graphic Design major with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Arianna enjoys spending her days with family and friends, constantly challenging herself to explore new things and better herself as both artist and person. With a fascination of psychology and

  • Dave Song Research GroupResearch in the Song lab centers on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of energy conversion in chemistry and biology. Our primary focus revolves around the transfer of both the proton and electron in biological catalysis via a ubiquitous mechanism called proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), underpinning key metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and nucleotide reduction. The mechanistic complexities associated with the inherently dual particle

  • copolymer structures synthesized develop nanometer morphologies potentially allowing these materials to improve performance and safety in lithium ion batteries. The nano-morphology of these materials will be studied as a function of block molecular weight allowing lamellar, cylinder, sphere, and gyroid morphologies to be produced on a sub 100 nanometer length scale. In addition, the influence of the nano-morphology on ionic motion will be investigated. One block in the material will allow for both

  • students sometimes worry that their families don’t understand what they’re doing at college. “That was my experience,” said Ellard-Ivey, who attended University College Dublin for her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in botany and earned a Ph.D. in molecular biology at the University of British Columbia. One experience she doesn’t have in common with her American students is their financial struggles. Ellard-Ivey lived at home while she attended college in Dublin with a government grant that paid for
