This is an invasive ivy plant choking out a palm here in Oahu, Hawaii. The ivy wraps itself around anything it can grab hold of and spreads rapidly across a landscape. I pulled this one from its roots and gently released the palm so it could breath and get more sunlight again!

Hi, my name is Gulf Frigate and I live in Hawai’i. I’m a fancy caterpillar raised by a nice lady who helps butterflies to be born here on O’ahu 🦋 #nature #butterflies #Hawaii

Growing plants in Hawaii is so much easier, I feel like I’m cheating! Just wanted to show my beautiful snake plant I repotted. I put her babies in new pots too! #plantscience #snakeplant

You all really liked the gecko I shared yesterday, so here’s another one! It was hanging out on my dragon fruit plant! #gecko #reptiles #hawaii

🐌 There are many non-native and invasive species in Hawaii, such as this snail. I was shocked to learn that it can give you rat lung disease!

🌺 Hello from O’ahu! I’m working on a wildlife series. Now that I’ve graduated, I’m getting into my creative flow again and I plan to start posting more often. If you love wildlife and Hawaii, stay tuned! #monkseal #hawaii #environmentalscientist

Good morning, everyone! Enjoy this lush green imagery of a quiet piece of paradise located on Oahu.

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!

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

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!

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?

Finished some homework and now doing some reading. Big thanks to Michal for suggesting a great book and sending me the first few chapters of it. Here’s a photo of where I spend much of my days becoming the best I can be! (When I’m not out at the beach or mountains 😉)
My room where I study and do my work on the computer. A PC, monitor, computer chair, and trees in the window view.

I’ve been feeling so uninspired lately. Maybe it’s this darn statistics class. Oh well, 3 more weeks to go. Here is a beautiful plant I saw on my walk the other day. 🌼

My summary based on todays findings of H5N1 mutational propensity for human-to-human (h2h) transmission. Still no confirmed h2h transmission, but evolution might be changing that very soon. And we are giving H5N1 plenty of evolutionary fuel. 🧪🛟 crvscience.substack.com/p/h5n1-avian...

H5N1 Avian Bird Flu is not Human-to-Human Transmissible - Yet (12/5/24)
Some groups are reporting h2h transmission in humans is low - this is wrong (it has not been confirmed).

Went inside #NOAA on Ford Island in Hawaii! I only have a dependent ID so I couldn’t tour the place. I peeked into this room after a quick lunch at their bistro though! This globe shows sea turtle migration patterns. Really neat!

An outrigger canoe at Nānākuli Beach, where paddlers move as one. The rhythm of their strokes mirrors the connection between culture, teamwork, and the ocean. Such a timeless reminder of how we’re stronger together. #Hawaii

Cicero's outspoken opposition to Mark Antony after Julius Caesar's assassination ultimately led to his downfall. Antony declared him an enemy of the state, and Cicero was executed in 43 BCE. Even in death, he symbolized the fight for free speech and the rule of law.

Amazing video of a huge dolphin pod off Laguna Beach, by Chuck Patterson! Amazing. To understand the size… for every dolphin you see, there are 4-5 under the water unseen. 💙

We're all joking & dunking on this ridiculous tariff idea but if implemented it will make food, energy, housing, & cars more expensive for American households and it will no kidding be really bad, especially for low-income families who could just use some breathing room to get ahead instead of this.

A live gopher snake was recently found in Hilo after hitchhiking on Christmas trees and I got to see it today! If you see a snake in Hawaii, report it: (808) 643-PEST (7378). They are illegal here. #InvasiveSpecies #HDOA
