The Daily Bruin

Want to spend a fun Friday night learning and practicing Spanish while having a blast? Join the Spanish Department for a movie night tonight (Friday) at 6 p.m. in the Minthorn basement.

We will be playing Como Caído Del Cielo, a movie based on the character of Pedro Infante. This comedy follows Pedro as he tries to undo wrongs from a past life. It is lighthearted and heartwarming. The movie is mainly in Spanish, with a little English mixed in. We will have subtitles on, and plenty of munchies!

Please see our flier for more information or head to our instagram @gfu.spanish.department. We hope to see you there!

Fencing is a fun way to stay active and learn a unique skill with only one hour per week! All equipment is provided, although it’s recommended you bring a water bottle and athletic clothing/shoes.

We are meeting today (Friday) from 4 to 5 p.m. in the large fitness studio in Hadlock (down the stairs, end of the hall, on your left; look for the sign). We’ll teach foil (stances and footwork) and play the game Champion.

If you have any questions, contact the club’s president, Mark Berglin, at mberglin19@georgefox.edu.

One of our graduates is on the brink of changing how doctors treat chronic cardiac disease. Joel Rurik, a 2016 graduate of George Fox’s biology program, will explain the details of his research in a lecture all are welcome to attend this Monday, Sept. 26, at 3 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Rurik is now a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, where he does cutting-edge gene therapy research. Most recently, his team’s work was featured on the front cover of Science, the top research journal in the United States.

Cardiac fibrosis, a scarring of the heart, underlies most cardiovascular diseases and remains challenging to target therapeutically. Chronic cardiac disease often results in fibrosis, which negatively affects heart health and function. Therapies targeting this cardiac fibrosis remain limited, but Rurik’s research offers a promising and tractable immunotherapy approach for tackling fibrosis.

The Maker Hub’s clausing drill press is a variable speed drill press primarily used for drilling holes in wood or metal quickly and easily. Often, this machine is helpful when a noncritical hole is needed on a part. While it is possible to drill perpendicular holes in parts somewhat accurately, turn to the Milling Machine for more precision.

For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page. Check out this video to see how it works.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
