Backyard Birds – Northern Cardinal
SUMMARY: The Northern Cardinal is a well-recognized backyard bird, often seen as the first bird children learn about. Males are strikingly bright red, while females have muted shades, both featuring crests and black masks. Although shy, they thrive in urban and agricultural areas. Cardinals do not migrate, making them a year-round presence, and they are frequently attracted to bird feeders, favoring sunflower seeds. Their melodious songs, often consisting of “cheer, cheer,” add to the morning chorus. Nesting typically happens in dense underbrush, with females handling most duties. Cardinals hold symbolic meanings in various cultures, often associated with deceased loved ones.

SUMMARY:
The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) partnered with NIST, Arizona State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create a novel polymer that visualizes shockwaves during high-velocity impacts. This research, published in Nature Communications, reveals how mechanophore molecules illuminate under extreme force, aiding in the understanding of energy absorption and trauma responses. Insights from this technology could enhance healthcare, military defense, and space exploration materials. Key contributors from USM included Dr. Sarah Morgan and her team, emphasizing the collaboration’s role in military engineering research and student engagement.
