Matthew Stromberg, environmental engineering Ph.D. student, was recently mentioned in the Science article, "OCEANS AWAY: Is raising salmon on land the next big thing in farming fish?" by Erik Stokstad. Stomberg is co-advised by Dr. Ghosh, professor of chemical, biochemical, and environmental engineering and Dr. Zohar, professor of marine biotechnology. 

The article explores the emerging trend of land-based fish farming, specifically focusing on Superior Fresh, a Wisconsin-based farm that raises Atlantic salmon. The farm's unique approach to raising fish in tanks and integrating them with its greenhouse operations has attracted attention from investors and customers looking for locally produced and high-quality fish.

The article highlights the challenges associated with land-based fish farming, including the high costs of equipment and infrastructure, potential environmental impacts, and the need to address fish health and welfare. To address some of these challenges, the farm has implemented various innovative practices, such as using ultraviolet light to purify water and using antisense RNA to prevent salmon from sexually maturing and ensuring larger filets.

Stromberg is testing a system that uses ultraviolet light and titanium electrodes to break down water-borne chemicals that can give land-reared salmon a muddy flavor. Their research is crucial in ensuring the long-term success of land-based fish farming.

If you need to satisfy your upper level art history major requirement, please consider adding the courses below. Thank you.

Art 350
20th-21st Century Latin American Art

This course examines a range of art forms from Latin American countries within cultural and historic contexts, focusing on artists active during the 20th and 21st centuries; studies Latin America's indigenous and African heritages and its colonial past from decolonizing perspectives; and explores major artistic trends (e.g., Muralism, Constructive Universalism, Neo-Concretism), as well as why the distinct -- and problematic -- category of "Latin American" art has emerged in academia and the international art world.


Art 351
Feminist Vision: Art

This course explores feminist theories and practices in the art world, focusing on artists from Europe, the U.S.A., and Latin America. We begin with the premise that in any era and culture where systems of inequality exist, there are always people who challenge, intervene, and change their societies. Instead of viewing these artists as "ahead of their time," we study them as agents of social change who are vitally part of their time.

As we come to the end of a month that focuses on celebrating both our Autism community and our Deaf community, we'd like to remind you to continue to engage in opportunities to learn more and engage in discussion. 

The ADS & SDS offices have selected two films this month that we encourage watching and spending time in reflection on in honor of our peers who represent these communities. As a reminder, we are hosting a Noontime, free-hour discussion session in the Math/Psychology Bldg, Room 222 conference room on Friday, 4/28 for anyone interested in joining us in discussion and reflection. 
We hope to see you there, RSVPs are appreciated for space planning.

Films:  

1. "In a Different Key"- Autism documentary that centers on the experience of Autism within neurotypical communities: From Patient Zero in rural Mississippi, initial discernment with Johns Hopkins healthcare providers, history of healthcare and structural inequality, as well as hope. This film centers on people on the autism spectrum within their families and community, and is available for free through PBS. For more information and to view it, please visit the website at https://www.pbs.org/show/different-key/

Synopsis: A mother of a young adult with autism tracks down the first person ever diagnosed with autism, now an elderly man living in rural Mississippi, to learn if his life story holds promise for her own autistic son. Her journey exposes a startling record of cruelty and kindness alike, framed by forces like race, money, and privilege – but leads to hope that more communities are learning to have the backs of people on the spectrum. The documentary shows the lived experience of a diverse mix of people with autism within family, community, and transitioning toward independence.

2. "Feeling Through"- Academy Award-nominated film produced by Marlee Matlin, an American actress, and activist who is recognized as being the first Deaf performer to win an Academy Award (Best Actress, 1986). The film "Feeling Through" stars the only award-winning DeafBlind actor and the only DeafBlind member of the Screen Actors Guild.   For more information, please visit the "Feeling Through" website at https://www.feelingthrough.com/. (Please note this film is not available for free online at this time and the film organizers are accepting donations to further their activism work for accessibility and disability representation in Hollywood). 

Both films are captioned, have a downloadable transcript, as well as a version with audio description.
