As the planet awaits the celestial spectacle of the total solar eclipse on April 8, award-winning astronomer Shadia Habbal from the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) is gearing up to lead a world-class team of researchers at three North America locations to conduct in-depth observations during this rare event.
Rat lungworm larvae are present in snail slime when the snails are exposed to stress, according to findings from University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers.
More than 120 UH Mānoa and UH Hilo researchers are among the world’s best in Earth science, ecology and evolution, environmental science, chemistry and more.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are made by introducing a gene from a superficial source like animal, virus, plant or bacteria into usually associated species. Prime reasons crops are modified is to enhance desired traits such as: a resistance to herbicides and pesticides, increased nutritional content, improved tolerance to the effects of adverse weather conditions and produce millions of identical crops for cheaper. Currently, GM crops are grown around the world by approximately 18 million farmers. With more than 75 countries that import, grow and/or research GMOs, and out of these, only 64 countries world wide require labeling laws.
