Fashions in Weeds

Every well-dressed victory garden this year will be wearing green; familiar greens, and some whose names are strangers

The Later Years: Women Instructors at the Winnipeg School of Art in the 1940s

Women were employed as art teachers at the Winnipeg School of Art in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in unusual numbers from 1940 to 1950. Beneficiaries of a proper art education, they "kept the home fires burning." When the men came back they were let go in what was seen as a return to normalcy.Les femmes étaient employées comme enseignantes d’artau Winnipeg School of Art à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, ennombres exceptionnels de 1940 à 1950. Bénéficiairesd’une formation indiquée en art, elles étaient les“gardiennes du feu au foyer.” Lorsque les hommesrevinrent de la guerre, elles furent renvoyées à ce quiétait vu comme étant un retour à la normale

Ancient DNA from coral-hosted Symbiodinium reveal a static mutualism over the last 172 years.

Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides powerful evidence for detecting the genetic basis for adaptation to environmental change in many taxa. Among the greatest of changes in our biosphere within the last century is rapid anthropogenic ocean warming. This phenomenon threatens corals with extinction, evidenced by the increasing observation of widespread mortality following mass bleaching events. There is some evidence and conjecture that coral-dinoflagellate symbioses change partnerships in response to changing external conditions over ecological and evolutionary timescales. Until now, we have been unable to ascertain the genetic identity of Symbiodinium hosted by corals prior to the rapid global change of the last century. Here, we show that Symbiodinium cells recovered from dry, century old specimens of 6 host species of octocorals contain sufficient DNA for amplification of the ITS2 subregion of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, commonly used for genotyping within this genus. Through comparisons with modern specimens sampled from similar locales we show that symbiotic associations among several species have been static over the last century, thereby suggesting that adaptive shifts to novel symbiont types is not common among these gorgonians, and perhaps, symbiotic corals in general

The History of Pathology in Texas

The History of Pathology in Texas is the study of the changes of disease in Texas from the frontier days to the 1990s. Marilyn Miller Baker wrote the book for the Texas Society of Pathologists. The book was published in 1996 with a forward by Vernie A. Stembridge, MD, the Ashbel Smith Professor and Chairman Emeritus of Pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The book covers the story of pathology from the performance of crude autopsies on the frontier through the emergence of bacteriology and immunology and beyond.https://digitalcommons.library.tmc.edu/ebooks/1010/thumbnail.jp
