Board Games Are Back With Mississippi’s “Tortugas Games”
SUMMARY: Board games are experiencing a resurgence due to 2020 lockdowns, with the global market valued at $15.1 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $29.7 billion by 2028. Mississippi-based Tortugas Games, founded by lifelong friends Jon Micah Tyson and Nick Raynor, is contributing to this trend. Their first game, “Red Tides: A Tale of New Caribbea,” is a cooperative dice battler with RPG elements set in the fantastical world of New Caribbea. The game, currently in development and pre-launched on Backerkit, aims to provide a fun, immersive experience for players and has received positive playtester feedback.

SUMMARY: As summer reaches its midpoint, the Fourth of July is a time to celebrate with flags, remember our heritage, and enjoy food with loved ones. Initially, I considered writing about flag displays or the historic July 2, 1776, independence declaration. Instead, I focused on sharing food tips, including a burger tip with chopped onions and peppers from Bess Robbins. For your Independence Day meal, I recommend a Sour Cream Flag Cake and a Watermelon Feta Flag Salad, both featuring patriotic colors. The cake includes layers of strawberries and blueberries, while the salad combines arugula, watermelon, and feta, dressed with a lemony vinaigrette. Bon Appetit!

SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and the Science Center for Marine Fisheries (SCEMFIS) collaborate to enhance the Mississippi Gulf Coast's blue economy through research and internships. USM graduate students, Molly Spencer and Catherine Wilhelm, gained hands-on experiences via the NSF Internship Program, focusing on climate change and fishery management. Spencer researched the impact of climate-induced warming on Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog, fostering her passion for fisheries. Wilhelm developed a data portal for Gulf menhaden management, securing a position at the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. SCEMFIS supports research, internships, and career development in marine science.
