A “Strawberry Moon” Ushers in the Summer Season
SUMMARY: Summer officially began on June 20 with the summer solstice, marking the year's longest day. The Sun reaches its highest point due to the Earth's maximum tilt. June's full moon, the Strawberry Moon, appears on June 21, a day after the solstice, making it the lowest full moon seen in years, coinciding with the solstice—a rare event occurring every 19-20 years. The Strawberry Moon, named for the ripening of strawberries, appears larger and more colorful due to thick horizon air. Historically, its name was used by Native American tribes to track seasons. European names include the Honey Moon and Mead Moon, linked to marriage traditions.

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.
