I'm grateful to have had an awesome learning experience as a co-author on this publication when I was an undergrad at @uhmanoa. Check out this new publication on how #climatechange will impact #rainbow occurrence and distribution! 🌈

[Global Environmental Change @GEC_Journal]

Carlson et al find that #climatechange is likely to increase the net number of global #rainbow occurrences, especially in high latitude and high elevation areas with more liquid precipitation 🌈

Driving past Lahaina is so difficult. Nothing left of the town I call home. The news cycle moves so quickly. Don’t forget about us. Rally your representatives and senators to do the right thing and vote for the funding to help us.

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

In the wake of powerful wildfires that ripped through Maui’s dry forests and the historic city of Lahaina, killing more than 50 people, researchers on the island remain concerned about the personal fallout for fellow scientists and their families. https://t.co/YTPWDaVrxp

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Extremely dangerous wildfire situation is ongoing in West Maui as strong winds up to 60 mph are pushing flames toward populated areas in and around Lahaina.

@dr_imariwalker I’ve seen a toilet seat tumbling in the waves on a beach in Hawai‘i.

@kteabam I'm a Ph.D. student studying plastics on land, but my friend Kayla Brignac @DebrisResearch researches plastics and marine debris in the ocean in Hawai'i.

[Amanda Wong @AWongPlant]

This is not okay

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

The chancellor of @PurdueNorthwest is on stage doing a stereotypical impression of an asian person as if it's funny. This is painful to watch and is so utterly harmful. Remove this person @PurdueNorthwest. This is completely unacceptable.

How is #ClimateChange likely to affect global #rainbow🌈 occurrence?
Our @GEC_Journal paper (https://t.co/IxoQvbh26f) led by collaborators @uhmanoa addresses this question
Overall, we predict a net positive change (+4-5%) in global average rainbow-days by 2100 (1/n)

[University of Hawaii at Manoa @uhmanoa]

🌈🌈🌈 Climate change forecasts more rainbows - By 2100, the average land location on Earth will experience about 5% more days with rainbows than at the beginning of the 21st century ➡️ https://t.co/pfq9mJwbp4 #UHMResearch

@TomBuckleyLab I suggest Life Sciences as her Major Field of Study and either Physiology or Biophysics as her subfield. Good luck!
