Kritical Science

Yes, some call it that and some call it "China man’s hat". Its real Hawaiian name is Mokoli’i.

That’s a great question! I would think that nutrients would be depleted since fungi help with decomposing and cycling nutrients. This would lead to loss of plant growth and reduce carbon storage.

Hello friends! What’s everyone been up to? I’ve been busy studying soil science so I haven’t been on much. I also got a new job working on a boat! Here are a couple photos of my recent visit to the east side of Oahu. It’s such a beautiful place! I hope you all are doing well!

Thank you! 💙

I had to reschedule it but I’m definitely doing it! I’m super excited. I would be swimming/diving in the ocean every single day if I could!

Gorgeous photo! 🤩

Wow, that sounds amazing! I’m taking a free-diving course next weekend with a national free-diving champion and I’m super excited! I’m going to eventually learn scuba diving as well!

So cool!! Thank you for sharing!

I think it’s because I’m struggling with the character limit on this app. It’s difficult to fit scientific topics that go into depth on here. I’ve been posting on other apps as well so it’s a balancing act between this and being busy offline. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to reflect

It was such an amazing experience and the food really was so fresh and tasty!

None taken ☺️ What specifically, about it seems show-y to you?

Incredible day at sea with one ono lunch! I’m on a brand new journey to spread knowledge about Hawaiian culture + ocean literacy! Stay tuned! #hawaii #oceanlife #boatlife #oceanadvocate

Send an email to education@noaa.gov. They will send it to you for free!

I recently requested this ocean literacy handbook from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) by email. They sent it to me right away! I’m excited to dive in and learn more to become an ocean literate advocate! Thank you NOAA! #oceanliteracy #NOAA #oceanadvocate #oceanconservation

I had a great Christmas, thank you! It sounds like you did too! I would loooove to try those treats 😍 They look so good!

Most definitely!

The whales were shy today! 😅

Happy New Year from Waikiki! I just went on a whale watching tour and it was so magical!

I won’t be surprised!

Thank you!

Aloha! 🌸

Human to human transmission hasn’t occurred yet, but if more and more people get infected with bird flu, the more likely human to human transmission will occur.

The virus has entered and mutated in a Louisiana man.

Stay safe everyone!

Ok I’ll check it out, thank you!

That sounds amazing! I am hoping to go to Maui sometime soon!

That’s what I want to do! It’s so beautiful over there!

Thank you, this is really great advice!

I went kayaking for the first time! It was so much fun. If anyone has any suggestions on more places to kayak on Oahu, let me know!

I’m looking for scientists to interview for a book I’m working on. If you’re a scientist, please hit me up and we can arrange a chat. If you’re not a scientist, please share this far and wide. ❤️

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the rapid advancement of A.I. and the risks it poses. Superintelligence could become uncontrollable, A.I. labs face security threats, and the race to be first might push safety aside. Are we truly prepared for the societal and impact this technology could have?

Absolutely!
