The weather’s turning cold and who doesn’t want to curl up with a good read? You can start with the Winter 2020 issue of Washington State Magazine, available now.
Since most faculty and staff members are working remotely, on-campus distribution of the print magazine has been limited. The easiest way to read the magazine is online, although print copies can be delivered to campus offices or to home addresses upon request. Email wsm@wsu.edu to request a print copy.
The winter issue features the work of WSU Vancouver biologist Stephanie Porter, who examines symbiotic relationships, often with support from undergraduate student researchers. Another feature introduces small farmers around the state assisted by WSU, particularly Latinx, Black, military veteran, and first-time farmers.
Other stories cover:
- Conductor and associate music professor Danh Pham’s efforts to introduce marginalized and less known composers

- 25 years of Na-ha-shnee inspiring Native American high school students at a hands-on health sciences camp

The articles often have web exclusive videos, connected stories, recipes, and other pieces.
