Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 24/07/2026This 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! 040
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Hi, 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 090
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Growing 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 060

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 27/06/2026🐌 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! 152
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 22/06/2026🌺 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 071

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Hello 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! 3421
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Incredible 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 3391
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 14/01/2025I 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 3364

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Human 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! 3197
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 24/12/2024I 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! 4350

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Lately, 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? 4251

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Finished 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 😉) 1220
Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I’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. 🌼 5482

Still no confirmed h2h transmission, but evolution might be changing that very soon.

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Went 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! 2310

Kritical Science @sciencecritical.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Cicero'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. 0170
