Led by SPU Biology Professor Tracie Delgado, the research group acquired salmon samples from 67 grocery stores and 52 sushi restaurants. DNA from each salmon sample was isolated and tested to identify the fish species.

Singing the Faith conference
Tuesday, Jan. 28, 12 p.m.–8:30 p.m.

This conference celebrates the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed by exploring the relationship between theology and song. Lyrics stick with us in ways other written forms of communication do not. The songs we sing in personal devotions and in corporate worship shape the way we think about the God we serve. During this conference, we will consider the topic of "Lyrical Theology." Drawing from the deep wells of wisdom from theologians, local pastors, and worship directors, attendees will find useful reflections and tips for songwriters, worship leaders, and pastors alike.
