This study is a life-long dream fulfilled. "Ecologically diverse clades dominate the oceans via extinction resistance" @ScienceMagazine. Working with this group of co-authors was a highlight of my career. Please R/T to share broadly. science.sciencemag.org/content/367/64…

Laukahi, with support from Lyon Arboretum and other partners, launched Hua ʻIke, a free online resource offering lessons, activities, and multimedia to inspire students, educators, and communities to conserve Hawaiʻi’s rare and endangered native plants ➡️ bit.ly/3HGBm6k

Do you have a favorite lesson plan and/or paper that you use to teach undergraduates how to read and critique a peer-reviewed science publication? Gearing up for co-teaching a new sophomore seminar in botany where this is the primary focus.

@UHPresident We all so appreciate the work you are doing in these unprecedented times. Thank you for your leadership and it’s wonderful to see that Universities across the country are banding together for collective strength

A nice surprise today–flowers and a thank you card from a group of students. Such a kind gesture. We’re all working hard in these challenging times, so their appreciation truly touched me. Honestly, it made my day. Thank you!

#UHohana researchers discovered that marine fungi from Hawaiʻi’s nearshore environment can degrade plastic, with some species adapting to do so more quickly, offering potential for plastic waste solutions ➡️ bit.ly/4gWiNa0 #UHMResearch
