All About Bacon | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Bacon, dating back to 1500 BCE, originated with the Chinese salting pork belly, later embraced by the Romans and spread throughout medieval Europe. It preserves pork through smoking, enhancing its flavor, which is primarily due to its fat content. Globally, bacon has various names, such as “rasher” in the UK and “speck” in Italy. Its versatility is evident in dishes like bacon sandwiches, breakfast combos, and vegetable pairings. Commonly smoked with hickory and other woods, bacon can be fried or baked, while different brands, like Benton’s from Tennessee, offer unique flavors. Bacon remains a beloved culinary staple worldwide.

USM Graduate Students Pursue Passion for Researching Mississippi Alligator Snapping Turtles, Answering Alarming Call
SUMMARY: Dr. Luke Pearson, a USM alumnus and biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is leading efforts to conserve the alligator snapping turtle, a species potentially facing threats. Collaborating with USM graduate students, Pearson aims to gather accurate data as Mississippi holds the highest density of these turtles. His team addresses challenges like illegal harvesting and nest predation by implementing strategies such as captive egg hatching. By tracking turtle populations with radio technology and tagging hatchlings for future monitoring, Pearson hopes to improve survival rates and understand primary threats to this largest North American freshwater turtle species.
