The April 2008 CTAHR Research News is ready to be downloaded.
This month we feature another "side" of CTAHR, our commitment to Hawaii's ranching community. Dr. Mark Thorne is CTAHR's Range Extension Specialist in the Department of Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Sciences. Mark is part of CTAHR's Beef Initiative and plays an integral part providing research and outreach in range and pasture management across the state. To assist stakeholders, Mark, in cooperation with CTAHR Cooperative Extension and the UH Hamilton Library, has developed the Hawaii Rangelands web site. Mark's work extends beyond Hawaii and is part of a Western Multi-state project that, as part of its outputs, developed the Rangelands West site. Also featured is an article about the 20th CTAHR Student Research Symposium. C.Y. Hu brings us up-to-date about the Taro Moratorium Bill and we introduce you to CTAHR's new Grant Specialist, Dr. Sharee Pepper. We provide you with an opportunity to order the CTAHR Centennial Book. Along with the regular contributions, the Research Calabash, new grants and publications and new funding opportunities, we also bid aloha to Dennis Miyahara and Ryoji Namba, and welcome Shirley Akiyoshi.
We hope you will enjoy this edition of the CTAHR Research News. Please read it, and if you have comments, good or bad, please share them with us. You can comment at the bottom of this blogpost. Thanks.
