Back on Guam and it’s my first time since high school helping my mom put up shutters as we prepare for Sinlaku 🌀(“This could be another Typhoon Mawar”) feels oddly nostalgic in a way I never expected
Keiki cheering section out tonight to cheer @HPU_MBB on to a hard-fought win! We also remember Kam Steinhoff and the importance of helmet safety. Kam was an @HPU_MBB player who tragically died in 2011 after a skateboarding accident. Mahalo nui for the free helmets 🧠🪖
Thanks to @HPU_MBB@coachjnak for all of the schwag and inviting their biggest little fans to team dinner after their W last night ☄️ they also got to meet Derrick Low of Hawaii basketball fame ⛹️♂️ Go sharks 🦈
Saying goodbye to the year that was 2025 from Kauai 👋 Here’s to looking at you, 2026… Excited for the new things to come. Happy New Year, everyone 🥳 2026年もよろしくお願いします。
’Twas the night before the final exam, and all through the lab,
Every exam was printed, in neat little stacks,
The halls lay in waiting, the moment drew near,
Good luck to my students. I’ll see you next year!
Finished up teaching my last of 26 lectures for fall semester. This first time teaching was a huge learning experience for me but very rewarding. Long live ICS675!
My first Discover Mānoa, and what an incredible day! The campus was filled with nonstop energy, creativity, and aloha. Mahalo to everyone who made it happen. I cannot wait to see today’s visitors become tomorrow’s @uhmanoa students.
First award for the Pipes lab. Congrats to my PhD student Stephanie Murray for winning the Michael Bruno Award for Excellence in Microbiome Science for her project on studying Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death! c-maiki.org/mahimicrobe2025
