Dr. Grippo and co-authors have journal article accepted

had an article accepted by the Annals of Pharmacotherapy, a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the safe,
effective, and economical use of medications. The article, "Analysis
of Flavonoid Phytoestrogens in Botanical and Ephedra-Containing

Dr. Romero publishes article on 17th-century whaling
Dr. Aldemaro Romero,
Biology, recently published an article, "More private gain than
public good: whale and ambergris exploitation in 17th-century
Bermuda," in the latest issue of the Bermuda Journal of Archaeology
and Maritime History, the publication of the Bermuda
Maritime Museum. His article argues that the first
shore-whaling operation by Europeans in the Caribbean was carried
out by British colonists in order to circumvent colonial
regulations. Whaling became piratical, until British investors in
Bermuda moved to stop it.This pirate whaling was enticing to
poverty-stricken colonists, and ultimately led to the exploitation
of the sperm-whale by-product, ambergris, which was of substantial
value to European perfumers.
