Southern Miss Student’s Passion for Fisheries Hopes to Bring Change to Coastal Communities
SUMMARY: Molly Spencer, a student at the University of Southern Mississippi’s School of Ocean Science and Engineering, is dedicated to enhancing fisheries management. She secured a six-month internship at NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center to focus on Atlantic Surfclam stocks and climate change impacts. Spencer aims to connect scientific research with coastal fishers to inform policy and sustainable practices. Collaborating with various institutions, she is also co-authoring a research manuscript on climate change’s effects on shellfish sustainability. Completing her master’s in summer 2024, she plans to pursue a doctorate under Dr. Eric Powell, focusing on the Ocean Quahog clam.

SUMMARY: Tacos are a popular handheld food worldwide, available at fast food chains, Mexican restaurants, and street stalls, or easily made at home. The first decision is whether to use corn or flour tortillas, with corn being authentic and flour more common in the U.S. Tacos can be made with a wide variety of ingredients, including leftovers, seafood, or meats. The breakfast taco, originating in Monterrey, Mexico, is a favorite, with ingredients like eggs and bacon. Other options include cheeseburger tacos or salads like pimento cheese. Tacos are versatile and can be paired with chips, soup, or condiments like hot sauce.

SUMMARY: Taking an unhurried walk in nature can be beneficial for mental well-being, providing a break from life’s stresses. Fall is an ideal time to start this practice, as you only need your senses to explore your surroundings. Begin by selecting a local park or nature trail, and consider engaging in an exercise that utilizes your senses—sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Observe your environment attentively, listen to sounds, notice various odors, and feel different textures. This approach transforms a simple walk into a rich sensory experience, encouraging you to connect deeply with nature. Enjoy your time outdoors!
