Due to the Musk/Trump Administration’s draconian cuts, the National Science Foundation is significantly scaling back its program to provide college students with paid summer research internships. Many of my colleagues attribute their start in science to this program.

Finally worked up the nerve to call my reps (when I knew I would get voicemail lol😅) and it was not that bad. I adjusted the script they had to be more personal but it was helpful to have something to use as a base and all the phone numbers lined up for me.

A day for chitons on low tides near Ed Rickett’s Great Tide Pool in Pacific Grove. Here's a huge gumboot chiton chillin' with a bat star and lined and mossy chitons below.

I wanted to try drawing my summer research species and had some fun with colors along the way
Both species can be called pipipi in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. The spotted guy is Neripteron neglectum and the stripey dude is Nerita picea

DLNR: only five ʻAkikiki left, chances of survival are slim | Maui Now
Only five of the native Hawaiian honeycreeper species, ʻakikiki, are left in the wild and chances of saving them are growing increasingly dire by the day, according to state officials. This revelation was shared by Justin Hite of the Kauaʻi Forest Bird Recovery Project during a community open house Tuesday evening.

My dad was in college by the time ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi was allowed in schools. It's been generations since anyone in my family was fluent. I'm so proud of the work people are doing to keep our language alive, but we are still very much feeling the hurt and loss from this law

Kūpaoa, also called naʻenaʻe (Dubautia menziesii), is endemic to the summit of Haleakalā. It can hybridize with ʻāhinahina, and can be used to scent kapa.
