This weekend, our REU group participated in science outreach as part of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museumʻs “Seas the Day” event.
Our program had the opportunity to learn about research in new ecosystems while visiting the Island of Hawai‘i.
On the first Saturday of July, we participated in a loʻi kalo (taro patch) workday at Ka Papa Loʻi O Kānewai on the UH Mānoa campus.
The REU group took a trip to Hanauma Bay, a popular tourist location and snorkeling spot, to meet up with Tanner and Andy and explore the bay.
After traveling up a long and incredibly windy road, we reached the trailhead to Palehua-Palikea!
With co-founder of the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s Herb Kawainui Kāne’s painting of Kaha’i entering Kāne'ohe Bay behind us, we began our intern and cultural orientation into working with the Bishop Museum.
Fascinating, Informative, and breath-taking. These were all thoughts to be had about our visit to the Lyon Arboretum.
