Kona Science Cafe: `Ike Wai (Knowledge of Water) at NELHA Gateway Visitor Center
October 17, 2016 from 5pm to 7:30pm
Pacific islands increasingly face unique challenges to their freshwater resources due to climate change and development. These urgent challenges affect a range of fundamental needs, including freshwater availability and the security and sustainability of food and water supplies. In recent years, Hawai‘i has experienced decreased rainfall, higher evaporation rates, and declining stream flows. These trends are compounded by rising sea levels, changes in land use and increasing demands from…See More

Kona Science Cafe: Small-Scale Biogas Reactors for Households and Coffee Farms at NELHA Gateway Visitor Center
June 27, 2016 from 5pm to 7:30pm
Presenter: Alexandra SchulerOrganic waste such as kitchen waste, grass clipping, fruit waste and weeds contains large amounts of nutrients and energy. Sustainable treatment of such waste is more important than ever, as we live on a planet with only limited resources. Anaerobic digestion in a biogas reactor transforms organic waste into energy-rich biogas and nutrient-rich effluent that can be used as fertilizer. In other words, it produces CO2-neutral energy and closes nutrient cycles.Alexandra…See More

Citizen Science and Engineering Responses to the Dengue Fever Outbreak at NELHA Gateway Visitor Center
March 28, 2016 from 5pm to 7:30pm
Presenter: Van Eden, PhDWhen the dengue outbreak started, Van Eden studied the research literature to see what was known about preventing the spread of arboviral diseases. What became clear is that many authorities use mosquito traps as part of an integrated vector control program. Van realized that mosquito traps could empower the community to fight dengue, but there was no source of instructions for a scientifically validated trap that people could make using easily obtainable materials.Van…See More

It was great seeing you, meeting Holland and learning about Ikehu. Lets grab coffee the next time you guys visit Oahu.
It's close! I regularly fly to Honolulu to join meetings. There have just been date conflicts. The June meeting I'll be on an Alaskan cruise and the August meeting I'll be at Inbound 2012 in Boston. I'm really going to try to make the July meeting!
I think I prefer Facebook events better. But, either way is cool.
I put the July meeting in my calendar, and it looks like you're doing them the 4th Monday of the month?
Yea!
Two whole friends on TechHui! Super excited! Thanks Rod. I really want to come down for a tech get-together, but the scheduling just hasn't worked out yet.
Hi Rod-
The 24th would work fine. Just let me know the logistics, head count(approx), time, etc.
Mahalo,
Jim
