I have two doctoral degrees (Moscow State University, Russia and Max Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, Germany). During the last 15 years I have been deeply involved in microbiology-related research centers around the world, e.g., New Zealand, Malaysia, Bangladesh and South Africa. I have worked at the University of Hawaii at Manoa for 20 years. Microbes are critically important in the production of foods, fuels, industrial materials, and the air we breathe. Human biology can no longer concern itself only with human cells: Microbes at different body sites show profound differences and show how microbes contribute to tissue and organ function. Plant and microbes are bonded forever helping each other with nutrients and defense. Our Hawaiian Archipelago is one of the most diverse ecosystems of our planet earth. It has more diversity than Galapagos Island (Darwin wrote his famous book Origin of Species based on Galapagos Island). Just think a minute, what would have written by Darwin, if he would have visited our diverse and beautiful Hawaiian islands. I want our local school to graduate students to explore, and to make ground-breaking discoveries of our vast microbial diversity here in our islands. We can do that in many ways, but start early just by introducing something as simple (yet significant) as a state microbe.

Like many of its ilk, By Liesl Bradner the Lane Victory was named after an edu- cational institution: Lane College, in Ten- nessee.

Within a month, the crew was carrying munitions and supplies across the Pacific. On a run to Guam, the ship spent 14 days in a typhoon. After the war, the Lane Victory carried Marshall Plan supplies to Europe. The 10,750-ton ship’s most dangerous mis- sion came during the Korean War.
