Marine Fisheries Internships Pave Way for Future USM Scientists
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.

Recipes to Get You Ready for July 4th
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!
