that is constantly innovating. He does this by bringing students into his lab to help him build a better battery. It’s a goal he has been working toward for more than a decade. Over the years, close to 30 students have been involved in the process.Backed by a $213,500 three-year research award from the National Science Foundation that Waldow received last spring, four students spent 10 weeks this past summer participating in intensive lab experiences. “The first week or two of working in the lab

subjects—and to excite them about math and science. MESA stands for Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement, and MESA Day tests all of those skills through fun challenges such as building stick bridges, designing and flying gliders, creating prosthetic arms and building energy-generating windmills from straws and masking tape. Students have been working on these projects throughout the year—in class and after school—and then they bring them, and their own high hopes, to PLU each spring. It’s a

on plant genetic engineering in agriculture and an internship with Washington State University, where she researched tree fruit physiology in response to changing environmental conditions. After graduation, Davis plans to begin a master’s and PhD program at University of British Columbia to study plant science — specifically how high-value horticulture crops are impacted by different environmental conditions. We caught up with her to reflect more on her PLU experience.Tell us about your capstone

, he’s an international honors student with a double major in business and economics and a double minor in data science and statistics. Outside the classroom, he’s served as DECA Club president, a resident assistant, and an intern at Russell Investments. We recently met with the busy senior to discuss academic experience at PLU. What sets PLU apart from other universities? I think PLU is unique because the professors really care about you. I thought I was this weird Chinese immigrant coming here from

sound of our mother talking,” Moon said in 2012. “This is the first study that shows we learn about the particular speech sounds of our mother’s language before we are born.” That insight earned international attention—and a very prestigious ranking: Science News picked Moon’s research on language learning in infants before birth as the No. 8 science story of 2013. This fall, Moon is starting another study on the very early perception of speech sounds with the help of two PLU psychology majors. Moon
