Warm Summer

Recreational scalloping in Florida is a popular group activity for many residents and visitors throughout the summer months. Currently, the state allows the recreational harvest of scallops in several Florida Gulf Coast counties (http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/bay-scallops/). However, people travel from all over Florida and other states to participate in the fun summertime fare (Hall-Scharf et al., 2018) and may not be familiar with the waters in which they are venturing. In addition, the warm summer water can increase the risk of food borne illnesses for those consuming scallops if not cleaned and stored properly. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the legal requirements for boating and scalloping, have a safety plan to minimize and/or prevent accidents while out on the water, and practice proper shucking recommendations to ensure food safety.

The Waves

Existing research suggests that patterns of both men and women serial killers are hyper-gendered. In American society, however, gender norms for women have dramatically changed over time. This study proposes that the patterns of women serial killers reflect the femininity ideals of the time period in which they operated in. The shifts in gender norms are operationalized by three time periods representative of the waves of feminism. The Radford/Florida Gulf Coast University’s serial killer database is used to establish a sample of 1,321 serial killers. Using multivariate regression analyses and controlling for age of last kill, which could potentially alter the kill method but be unrelated to gender, women serial killers do appear to be impacted by the femininity ideals of their time period but not as clearly as initially anticipated. Men serial killers were also found to be affected by changes in femininity ideals. Both women and men serial killers had more feminine kill patterns during the first wave of feminism, but men serial killers had a very violent, hyper-masculine peak during the second wave of feminism that women serial killers did not have.

Pink Pigment

Prodiginines are secondary metabolites produced by several known species of bacteria. These metabolites are known for their bright pigmentation and their potential medicinal uses. Biosynthesis of prodiginine compounds, including the well-studied prodigiosin, has been well characterized in Serratia marcescens and other bacterial species, including several marine bacteria. In an effort to isolate and identify natural products from marine organisms, an environmental sample was taken from a salt flat along the Florida Gulf Coast and cultured for bacterial growth. A bacterial species that produces a vibrant pink pigment was isolated and identified as a member of the Vibrio genus and was named MI-2. Whole genome sequencing identified a 13-gene operon with homology to the S. marcescens prodigiosin biosynthetic operon. The pigment produced by MI-2 was hypothesized to be composed of prodigiosin or related prodiginine compounds and was purified by flash column chromatography and identified by mass spectrometry.
