Halmos College Hosted Physical Oceanography Seminar

Matt Gough SharkbyteOn Thursday, February 21, at 2 p.m., the Halmos College hosted a physical oceanography seminar at the Oceanographic Campus. Entitled, “Climatological LCS Patterns in the NW Gulf of Mexico And Heating of the Inner-Shelf by Warm Internal Tidal Bores” by Matt Gough, Ph.D.

Gough is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He completed his B.S. in Atmospheric Science from the University of California, Davis in Davis, California and went on to work as a wind power meteorologist for Kenetech Windpower in San Francisco. He took a brief detour from the physical sciences to undertake a few teaching positions before returning to school at San Francisco State University, where he completed his M.S. in Applied Geosciences. He went on to complete his Ph.D. in Applied Marine Physics at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) in Miami, Florida. Much of Matt’s research has focused on processes responsible for mixing and transport in coastal regions such as tidal currents, upwelling dynamics, inertial oscillations, Lagrangian Coherent Structures, internal tidal bores, and rocky shoreline dynamics. When he’s not analyzing oceanographic data, Matt can be found in the ocean on a surfboard or at home strumming a guitar.

NSU Invites you to the Next Intellectual Conversations

Marlisa Santos, Ph.D.

Marlisa Santos, Ph.D.

NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) is delighted to invite you to the next Intellectual Conversations on Wednesday, March 13. 2019 at 12:00 p.m. in the Mailman Hollywood Auditorium. The series theme this academic year is “Boundaries and Borders: Beyond Open and Closed.”

The upcoming conversation will feature Marlisa Santos, Ph.D., faculty in the Department of Literature and Modern Languages, facilitating the conversation entitled, “Straddling Hollywood’s Gender Boundaries: Ida Lupino’s Auteur Journey.”

This conversation will explore how Ida Lupino made her place in film history by refusing to accept predetermined roles and categories.  Her career began with acting, bleaching her hair to be known as “the English Jean Harlow” and eventually developed into directing, to be known as “the Female Hitch,” for her orchestration of suspense.  Lupino battled the studio system, enduring suspensions for refusing to play certain roles, and ultimately used these challenges to learn the directing craft and form her own production companies.  Her films unflinchingly tackled social problems that had never been fully expressed on screen, such as rape (Outrage, 1950), polio (Never Fear, 1950), and bigamy (The Bigamist, 1950), while avoiding reductiveness in gender and class depictions.  Her contributions to film noir are among her most important, both as an actress, in her nuanced “tough girl” portrayals, and as a director, helming one of noir’s most gritty offerings, 1953’s The Hitch-Hiker.  Eventually, her efficient and actor-centric techniques brought her to television, directing numerous episodes of traditionally male-oriented adventure and suspense series such as Have Gun, Will Travel, Thriller, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and The Twilight Zone.  As one of film’s most important pioneers in subverting traditional female roles in the industry, Lupino’s out-of-the-box redefinition of her career paved the way for contemporary female filmmakers, such as Kathryn Bigelow and Patty Jenkins, who still struggle with pervasive gender barriers in Hollywood today.

It is free and open to the public.

If you have questions, please contact Stephen Levitt, LL.M., faculty in the Department of History and Political Science and the Intellectual Conversations Committee chair, at levitts@nova.edu

Great White Shark Genome Decoded

The great white shark is one of the most recognized marine creatures on Earth, generating widespread public fascination and media attention, including spawning one of the most successful movies in Hollywood history. In a major scientific step to understand the biology of this iconic apex predator, and sharks in general, the entire genome of the white shark has now been decoded in detail.  One highlight – sequence changes were found tied to DNA repair, DNA damage response and DNA damage tolerance, the exact opposite of which – genome instability – is well known to predispose humans to numerous cancers and age-related diseases.

The researchers say they have just explored the “tip of the iceberg” with respect to the white shark genome.

“Genome instability is a very important issue in many serious human diseases; now we find that nature has developed clever strategies to maintain the stability of genomes in these large-bodied, long-lived sharks,” said Mahmood Shivji, Ph.D., director of NSU’s Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Research Center and Guy Harvey Research Institute. “There’s still so much to be learned from these evolutionary marvels, including information that will potentially be useful to fight cancer and age-related diseases, and improve wound healing treatments in humans, as we uncover how these animals do it.”
