  • The PLU Department of Physics offers bachelor of science and bachelor of arts degrees in physics, a bachelor of science degree in applied physics, and a bachelor of arts in education degree for

    new laser systems for applications in medicine and communications; they heat hydrogen gases to temperatures above those at the sun’s core in the attempt to develop nuclear fusion as an energy resource. From astrophysics to nuclear physics to optics and crystal structure, physics encompasses some of the most fundamental and exciting ideas ever considered. The Department of Physics offers bachelor of science and bachelor of arts degrees in physics, a bachelor of science degree in applied physics

    PLU launches new data science major to meet growing demand in data-driven economy. Students learn essential analytical tools and techniques for extracting meaningful and precise insights from data. Lindsey Clark ’24 will return to PLU for her MA in Education and teaching credential. "The goal was to bring mathematics in new, fun, and interesting ways to students’ and their families’ lives,” Clark says. Physics major Julian Kop ’24 studied the universe and his family background at PLU. He

  • Sophia Mahr ’18 analyzed how and why medical providers repeatedly and deliberately harmed people in the name of medical science by conducting non-consensual experiments on their subjects.

    studies Mahr examined, Kraig said, the people aiding in the corrupt treatment believed they were doing the right thing. “If it’s doing real harm it might come in a package that says ‘I’m doing real good,’” Kraig said. For example, one of the most cited medical studies Mahr examined was the Dachau Hypothermia Experiments, which took place at the first Nazi concentration camp opened in Germany. The victims were submerged in vats of icy water, naked and outdoors in freezing temperatures, only to be

  • For some, summer is a time for play. For others, it’s a time for work. But for many at PLU, it’s a time for a little bit of both — through science.

    , “so we can both address safety and increase capacity in batteries.” The team is working with rigid polymers that have highly conductive regions. They are working in a lab using experimental techniques to study how the polymers organize and ions move through the polymers. The experimental techniques include, for example, electrochemistry — the branch of the discipline that deals with the relations between electrical and chemical phenomena. The work is funded by the National Science Foundation

Below is an edited discussion about her vocational journey and her experience creating hand-lettering books. Question: How…

    threatened by other artists. You will always gain more by giving support than if you try to stand on your own. My second biggest challenge has just been finding creative ways to educate myself. Since I don’t have a fine arts degree, when I started I had to teach myself everything from techniques to how to use Photoshop. It was very intimidating. Over the years, I’ve made it a priority to always keep learning something. I read blog posts, watch YouTube videos, buy books and even ask other artists how they
