Exploring Brain-Inspired Tech and Space Medicine
|
As a Fulbright scholar at Western Sydney University, Kyra Lee ’24 spends her days developing brain-inspired technologies that could one day reshape healthcare and robotics. Lee is part of a research team designing neuromorphic systems — computing technologies modeled after the human brain. These bio-inspired tools could improve machine learning, enhance robotic responsiveness, and expand how artificial intelligence supports patient care.
“It’s incredibly exciting to be working at the intersection of neuroscience and technology,” Lee says. “Neuromorphic systems are about replicating how the brain works, and that has huge implications for how we solve real-world problems.”

Homecoming in Every Color
|
The University of Puget Sound changed the school colors from maroon and white to green and gold in 1968 to mark its entrance into the NCAA. In an all-school election, the students voted overwhelmingly in favor of the color change, and the Green and Gold Era was launched. While the green and gold are remembered fondly, the archives remind us the colors were technically changed to dark green and ice blue with gold highlights.
According to the Nov. 8, 1968, issue of The Trail, the new school colors received “raised eyebrows, startled glances, and hearty approval” from fans when first introduced at fall sporting events. The Green and Gold Era lasted until 1999, when the colors changed back to the original maroon and white. Today, the green and gold appear on Logger gear in the bookstore and are worn across campus during reunion and homecoming weekends, when alumni return to celebrate our shared legacy.
