    The name derives from the Irish Gaelic phrase, “cal ceannann,” meaning white headed cabbage. Although colcannon is traditionally made with cabbage or kale, I like to add a Southern twist and make it with collard greens.

    Sometimes the tiniest of organisms in our world evoke memories we hold dear. Such was the case when I recently shared a few photos of one of the smallest of our regional flowering plants, a Tiny Bluet, Houstonia pusilla.

The post about the Tiny Bluet reminded me that many of my friends also share my passion for nature, big and small. 

    Making waves in marine research is what motivates Dr. Jerry Wiggert of The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) School of Ocean Science and Engineering (SOSE) to pursue his passions. Wiggert was appointed to the Ocean Studies Board (OSB), a unit of the Division on Earth and Life Studies of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. OSB explores the science, policies and infrastructure needed to understand, manage and conserve coastal and marine environments and resources.
