Hawaii Agriculture Research Center / Health

HARC is a private non-profit organization that supports a viable agricultural sector by researching and applying relevant science and technology to achieve practical solutions and by identifying new agricultural opportunities. They are aiming to develop new technologies to help forward and sustain agriculture in Hawaii. Our speaker was a Plant molecular Biologist from Taiwan but went to University of Manoa in Plant Physiology and Agricultural engineering. She taught us how to identify the sex
determination genes in Papayas. We also got to do a DNA dance.


















Our next guest speakers are Pediatricians and they came to talk to us about the importance of our health and how we should change it or start eating right today because most of the health problems are spreading out to teenagers like us. They gave us sheets that explained whats in the things we drink and eat that is not good for us. It is very important that we eat Breakfast and not too much Sugar. Also, SLEEP is very important :) It was a very healthy lesson. Mahalo.
