Love when #maths and #philosoply collide. Sometimes I wonder why I'm referencing all this when all I want to say is, "there are actually better alternatives to the current #capitalist system" Great paper tho https://t.co/AfOb3FM1nd

Great talk by @SiennaStream on community-based stream side #invasive #Albizia removal & #restoration Often we forget it takes a village to do it well and maintain the effort over time to have any chance of success! #NREMSeminar Check out #AlbiziaProject https://t.co/RzXX1yZxsE

Yesah Tatum Kafka studying workforce capacity in natural resource management. Lofty environmental protection goals don't matter if there are no workers to carry out the work #DLNR #NREMSeminar #greenjobs Address understaffing crisis- pay, train and retain https://t.co/pHZmFub5mF

Keeping the US Navy accountable! Look out for #MEM graduate student Alyssandra Rousseve’s capstone project on the effects on tiny critter stream communities from the big #redhillspill #NREMseminar https://t.co/JJWytu9Oy0

#RapidOhiaDeath is caused by 2 species of (not-so-fun) fungi that infect trees through wounds (ungulates, wind/ storm damage). Check out research to #innoculate & preserve #endemic keystone Ohi'a trees here: https://t.co/3wD7SmSEkY #NREMSeminar Clean up so you don't host spores!

Legal fisherman does not equate PONO fisherman- don't take the 10 inch Papio just because it's legal to do it, take the 12 inch Papio instead so it has a chance to reproduce. Prioritize #CommunityEngagement #NREMseminar #enforcement #outreach Know your https://t.co/5AXZzrLx52

Next time you think of 'cow farts', think instead of soil microbes! Check out the amazing work to keep #methane #carbon in the land https://t.co/Ok6D26HE7J Also, growing #Brachiara grass in unused, previously intensively farmed land may be a winner! #NREMseminar

Mahalo nui @alohinak for hosting a todays talk story at #NREMseminar. A great reminder of how UH students have the #kuleana of promoting Hawaiian communities through the work we do in academia. Learn about the campus climate initiatives at UH https://t.co/EP5YjCc4sl

[Louis Chua @sirensorts]

A bit of #empathy goes a long way in #academia Communities are people too, not just research subjects, what are some of their scientific needs? An important reminder of our #Kuleana as academics #NREMSeminar Mahalo @alohinak

Want to detect #GeneralFlowering (GF) in tree canopies? Sometimes you just need to find the right remote sensing product for the purpose. #PlanetDove overcomes frequent #cloudcover in Borneo with higher temporal revisits https://t.co/9c4ABGvViY

"Deep dive" into how to do a coral stressor #metaanalysis at #NREMseminar. A cool technique for determining Min-Max bounds of stressors. Props to very clearly presenting 3 dimensions of data! #datavisualisation https://t.co/L4LQrCBURh

[Lillian Tuttle Raz @lillianjtuttle]

Our #Bayesian #MetaAnalysis found that early life stages of corals are particularly sensitive to copper, a common component of antifouling paints. Modest concentrations reduce fertilization success, larval survival, and larval settlement.

Not an everyday thing! The 3-dimensional structure of the world's coral reefs are mapped! @AllenCoralAtlas @ASUGlobalFuture @ASUResearch #OpenAccess

Not all fires are the same, woodland fires burn about 6x longer than grasslands #Prescribedfires used in #indigenous practices had varied uses, including channelling animal food sources and making them easier to hunt! #NREMseminar Check out https://t.co/rIgdJXdwuM

Dr. Alison Sherwood stresses the importance of Hawaiian mesophotic alga taxonomy: "These specimens need names so people are able to communicate about them. A species name provides an anchor" #NREMseminar #limu #taxonomy

Nuisance alga recently named!

A #Limu presentation by Dr Alison Sherwood that feels like a whodunit, complete with morphology and genetic matching! Still a mystery how a reef as pristine as one in #PMNM can see such scale of nuisance mat algae form https://t.co/JVpBcybNqm #NREMseminar

Cam also showed this moving video during his presentation that I wanted to share: "Love has no labels" #loveislove #LGBTQ #pride

"Love is about who you are and not what you are"
