Dead Kennedy's! 🚷❌🤘🏽 Sometimes you just need a little mosh pit group therapy, great pit great people good to see everyone and meet good people! Stoked the kid in the front with the pink Mohawk, met his mom who was a punk in the south back in the day and now works in Buka or "Bougainville Island", an island named for it's colonizer, Papua New Guinea doing badass humanitarian work. Helping them develop tools to cope with the after effects of brutal colonization and civil war, as they work to become an independent nation. Punks doing big things! Synchronicity with me hoping to go to Papua next year for young pacific leaders conference! Anyways it was the kids first punk show and stoked I got a video of him crowd surfing (which he got kicked out for, 😂 do it big, kid) . Met some other cool young kids and old farts. #punksnotdead #itsjustold

"He ula no ka naele, panau no ka hi'u komo i ke ale." That lobster of the sea cave, with one flip of the tail she is in the Rocky cavern. Said of an independent person. Mary Kawena Pukui. One of my favorite places 🤫 Photo by the lovely @elizabethsides

“I’m not afraid to die,” Aomame reassured herself. “What I’m afraid of is having reality get the better of me, of having reality leave me behind.” #selfportrait

Today is my grandpa's birthday. My bestie, most fun grandpa ever! Always teaching me about the ocean from surfing to fishing to how to play hard and read nature. Started my feedive training from 3 years old diving for quarters in the pool for years. Then teaching me how to run a business and be one of the best bosses to his employees. Plenty success stories and love out of so many people who worked with us over the years. Seriously one of the best and most knowledgeable people who put so much love into me and my future. Built our whole family from nothing but hard work. ❤️Love my grandpa! My grandma is also a scorpio on Oct 23rd but missed the post, in case you were wondering why I'm a savage 😂. ♏♏♏ #familyovereverything

Makapu'u one to two-o! Back when the sandbar wasn't messing up the shore break and the waves were full of limu lipoa not marine debris 🤔 also when we could go out all night and dawn patrol in the morning like champs

Throwback to #konakozies ❤️💛💚 really some of the happiest times of my life! Need to get back to it! Like I said camping trips!

E ‘Ohana Hou: Hanocon 2018

Today I am attending the Hawaii Nonprofit Alliance Organization annual conference. From an amazing opening keynote by Pono Shim, where we revisited the spirit of aloha and the truncation of the word Hana to mean “work” in our culture today. But in the aloha spirit, Hana is not work at all. Hana is the unbridled […]

Summer Fieldwork 2018 Has Begun!

Our summer fieldwork season has begun! It’s going to be a very productive and exciting summer filled with new connections, exciting new data, and much more! I’m really excited to have a great and diverse team of undergraduates joining us in the field this summer! First, I am excited to have an incoming freshman undergraduate […]

Graduation Season

There are subtleties of PhD student life that you really aren’t warned about, can’t be warned about, until you experience it. The slower passage of the typical PhD education makes you a more permanent figure in the college than the typical bachelors or master’s degree student. You marinate longer in your research questions and may […]

Phycological Society of America Conference

If you’re thinking that looks like a Hawaii girl who found herself a long way from home at her first scientific conference in Monterey, California, then you’re right. What a long strange trip it has been, but I did it! I attended my first scientific conference on my own, got a travel award, and presented […]

Community Workday at Huilua Fishpond in Kahana

This past weekend I volunteered with Friends of Kahana at the Huilua Fishpond, one of my field sites. An interesting connection between my field sites, those with submarine groundwater discharge, and ancient Hawaiian fishpond sites. Many sites with submarine groundwater springs are also sites that were chosen by ancestral Hawaiians as sites for loko iʻa, […]
