Hawaii Ecosystems meeting, Hilo HI

Peter Vitousek reminding us why research in Hawaii is so important...and that we can't go over our time limit!

Following a morning of presentations we go outside to discuss what makes Hawaii a model system, and what are the most interesting research directions for comparing Hawaii with mainland forests.

Discussion about how scientists can get more involved with conservation. We made a list of the unique qualities that scientists can bring to the table and ways we can reach out to the public in a productive way.

Kye Epps showing us a diagram explaining her ideas for how to leverage existing organizational networks (agencies, universities, etc.) so scientists can reach a broader audience.
