Far from being dirty, bats spend a lot of time grooming themselves. Some bats even groom each other. Besides having sleek fur, cleaning also helps control parasites. #batfact

In today’s #NREMseminar, former #lobbyist, Stacy Evensen, talked about the challenges of getting a bill passed in one of Hawaii’s politically charged #LegislativeSessions. Every session there are about 3000 bills proposed but only about 300 have the potential of getting passed.

#Mosquitoes are the worlds deadliest animal and in Hawaii they have killed off multiple native bird species. One of @NREM_UH's Masters students is looking into new alternative methods of mosquito control and how the public will perceives them. #NREMseminar

@HiWildlife That’s great news!

“The mythology of islands of plastic, these garbage patches, has led the public to really misunderstand where plastic is in the world,” said Marcus Eriksen https://t.co/yEgSJ06fNt

Do we have a lack of scientific integrity in #conservation and restoration if we do not acknowledge and embrace the history of a place and the #IndigenousHistory that influenced it? Dr. Giardina discussed this and much more during today’s #NREMSeminar https://t.co/TjhDB3usr2

[Lesley Davidson @Hi_ForTheBats]

Multiple environmental factors have caused the #GuadalupeBass to undergo morphological changes, which have resulted in them looking like and living in similar habitat to #LargemouthedBass. To learn more about #PhenotypicPlasticity in fish check out _grabowskilab.org

Feral pigs and invasive earthworms create negative environmental impacts in Hawaii and worldwide. These species may have a facilitative relationship (from pig rooting) that is evidence of invasional meltdown https://t.co/lO4UkxdAiw #NREMseminar #feralpigs #invasiveearthworms

[Lesley Davidson @Hi_ForTheBats]

NREM Master’s student, Nate Wehr, discussed the impacts of feral pigs on #macroinvertebrates such as #earthworms. He found that while trampling soil decreased macroinvert presence, rooting increased the presence of earthworms and beetles! #NREMSeminar -> https://t.co/5KS6cojtK1

[Lesley Davidson @Hi_ForTheBats]

Dr. Mehana Vaughan, joined #NREMSeminar to talk about the importance of community support after a natural disaster. This was especially true after the 2018 floods, which completely cut off many areas on #Kauai from #FirstResponders. https://t.co/nAxu91KUnd

The 3 main reasons a science-based bill will fail according to @SENMIKEGABBARD: 1- lack of money, 2- a strong organized opposition, 3- no known reason (the person who kills the bill will not be forthcoming as to the reason why). https://t.co/BXIM27TqyP #NREMseminar #legislature

“Politics to me is helping people, it is very personal”- @senmikegabbard. In today's #NREMseminar, Senator Gabbard discussed how challenging #scienceinthelegislaturework can be. To learn more check out https://t.co/cI0LSLqPH8

Over the last 30yrs there has been a noticeable decline in Hawaii's streamflow and base flow with some streams showing no flow for up to 60 days! Learn more about the impact of #climatechange on Hawaii's #hydrology via Dr. Tsang's research, https://t.co/3iEe8VcHBG #NREMseminar
