town’s annual Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Two weeks earlier the deadliest tornado in our nation’s history ripped through Joplin, Mo., killing 160 people and causing almost $3 billion in damage. Today our goal was to interview any survivors and relief workers we could find. We figured the best place to find people would be in the center of the devastation. I was traveling the country researching for a documentary on compassion fatigue, an issue that particularly affects caregivers

He was familiar with government forms from years of doing his parents’ taxes. “When it came out I applied and that allowed me to be more secure in a way that I was able to more freely talk about who I am,” Kim said. “My history, my story as well as my status.” Kim is just one of many students who attend PLU with undocumented or DACA status. The official number is not known in an effort to protect the security and privacy

Simultaneously, the novel challenges Britain to redress its colonial history. Kamal is under no allegiance to false unification. She represents the pluralistic perspectives of Pakistan through a diverse cast of characters. Her novel aims to unsettle the British literary canon in order to make a place for itself, more characters of color, and non-English languages not only in

distribution and evolution in fishes, 24 species representing 24 families and all four major orders of otophysan fishes were surveyed. A combination of light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to search 15 body regions for the presence of extraoral taste buds. Taste bud morphologies and distributions were then mapped onto an existing phylogeny of otophysan fishes, allowing for inferences regarding evolutionary history. Results suggest that extraoral taste buds may have evolved

As Hunt and other researchers unearth more and more ancient evidence—breast cancer in 3500 B.C. Egypt, osteo-sarcoma in a T. rex femur—Hunt has formed an intriguing theory: She believes cancer is inherent in human beings and is aggravated by—rather than caused by—environmental factors. Her goal now is to gather
