Measure of genetic diversity across populations of the Hawaiian endemic raspberry, ‘ākala or Rubus hawaiensis (Rosaceae).

Recording of the talk: Measure of genetic diversity across populations of the Hawaiian endemic raspberry, ‘ākala or Rubus hawaiensis (Rosaceae).

Speaker: Rosalie Michot, MS in Botany

I am an intern at Amy Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden through KUPU. I just completed my Master's in Botany at UH Manoa, focused on population genetics of 'ākala; I got my undergraduate in Biology at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. I grew up between there and France, with parents who taught me about our connection with nature and it's thanks to them that I have a deep appreciation for it and decided to focus on conservation for my career path.
