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.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012).
