The Lemus and Gates Labs were pleased to welcome a motivated group of local educators in the University of Hawaii at Manoa EDCS 433 Interdisciplinary Science Curriculum course and their professor, Pauline Chinn, to HIMB to learn more about “Hawaiian Corals: Challenges and Opportunities”. Dr. Lemus and Lemus/Gates PhD Student, Ariana Huffmyer, spent a day with the educators talking about place-based marine science and engaging in hands-on and minds-on activities. We enjoyed a day of great conversations and learning with this group!
