  • Technology. There, all seniors in the natural sciences will present the findings of their capstone research, or the results of their projects. A large number of alumni also attend the festival, some of whom discuss the work they are doing in the industry. Kakar referred to it as “bringing the whole family together.” “Festival” is the operative word here – the event bubbles with excitement, according to Hauser. “Interview,” might be another apt descriptor – the event is known to draw employers who are

  • properties, designing tiny batteries, to developing “greener” ways to make drugs to treat cancer or sickle cell anemia. In fact, 10 students worked with faculty members this past summer on independent research projects as part of the Natural Sciences Division Undergraduate Research Program, supported by external grants as well as endowed PLU research fellowships. Upon getting some exciting results after months in the lab, these students have the chance to present their work both on campus and at

  • two-year grant through the Murdoch College Research Program for Life Sciences that covers work by the students and professor from June 2011 through May 2013. As part of the grant agreement, PLU supported sending the group this past summer to a meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists in Austin, Texas. At the ASPB meeting the students were able to present their research to Washington State University scientist Bryan Thines, who has done groundbreaking research in jasmonic acid signaling

  • By Maria Flores '20Division of Social Sciences A yearlong sabbatical in 2017-18 provided Dr. Brenda Llewellyn Ihssen, Dr. Michael Schleeter, and Dr. Seth Dowland with opportunities to rethink their courses and pursue scholarly interests. For Dr. Dowland and Dr. Schleeter, sabbatical was a time to step away from teaching and service obligations so that they could focus on scholarship relevant to their teaching.  For Dr. Llewellyn Ihssen, sabbatical provided an opportunity to teach and serve in a

  • graduated because it was so important to her.” The next step in Ceynar’s research will include partnering with female professors in the natural sciences to study how student expectations of professors vary by discipline and gender. This is a growing research field, with more studies on the extra burdens students place on faculty of color, as well. One way Ceynar hopes to help change the way students treat their female professors is by sharing these findings with them. Traditional formalities are

  • Plant Sciences at Somerville College. Each week I was assigned an essay topic and given a list of readings pertaining to that topic. After researching the essay topic, I then wrote an essay of approximately  2,000 to 2,500 words, answering the prompt. For each essay I spent about 10–20 hours researching the topic prior to writing the essay. After writing each essay I would email it to my professor, and we would discuss it at our next meeting. My professor and I met for an hour once a week for the
