The Daily Bruin

Join us as a mathematics faculty candidate presents her research topic on topology and its applications. This event will be today (Tuesday) at 3 p.m. in EHS 125.

Algebraic topology is a field of mathematics that describes and characterizes spaces by assigning algebraic invariants to each space, something that will not change if one deforms the space (e.g. by stretching or shrinking) without tearing or cutting. Building on a minimal knowledge of linear algebra, we will discuss applications of algebraic topology in the form of topological data analysis and see some examples of applications in image processing and neuroscience.

Students, interested in working at a Christian camp this summer? Faculty, do you know students who may be looking for work in this arena?

Today (Tuesday), we’re hosting reps from 20 camps in the local area and beyond to share paid opportunities with students for the upcoming summer. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the EHS Atrium.

The university’s Department of Biology and Chemistry invites you to join us for the 10th annual Dalton Lecture at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Monday) in Bauman Auditorium. Admission is free.

The presentation, titled “The True Story of Science and Faith,” will be delivered by Ian Hutchinson, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He will discuss how the widely presumed “warfare myth” that science and religion are at odds is a distortion of both science and faith.

In truth, Hutchinson argues, their relationship is a complex story that ultimately leads to the affirmation that God is revealed both in the “Book of His Word” (the Bible) and the “Book of His Works” (nature).

The lecture is one of two Hutchinson will present on campus. He will also speak at 3 p.m. today on “Star Power! Scientific Frontiers of Fusion Energy” in Bauman Auditorium.

More information is available on the Dalton Lecture Series webpage. Questions? Call Vetta Berokoff at 503-554-2710.

Have you noticed the bright sunny-yellow lids on the bins in the outside enclosures? Those are our recycling bins. Please avoid dumping garbage in the recycling bins because it contaminates the entire bin.

What can be recycled? So many things! And it’s a commingled service, so recyclables can be mixed together. Check out the full list of recyclable materials here.

Recycling not only reduces the use of raw resources, it also reduces what is taken to landfills and saves the university money in garbage fees. Thank you for making a positive impact on our world!

We are excited to expand our medical education programs with the launch of a physician assistant (PA) program in 2021. Currently, we are seeking health care partners to do PA clerkships for our students, which need to be identified by March to meet national program accreditation requirements. You have a chance to be a part of this wonderful initiative!

If you would like more information, or if you know of physicians, PAs, or NPs who might be willing to take student clerkships, reach out to our PA team at pa@georgefox.edu.

PAs offer valuable and versatile medical skills and serve in a wide variety of roles, from primary care to emergency medicine to behavioral health. Our PA program will give students critical hands-on training through clerkships at hospitals and clinics across Oregon and beyond.
