Our February speaker is Giglia Ann Goochey, a Hawaiʻi-based educator with extensive experience teaching biology and related sciences in secondary and post-secondary settings. Her presentation, Using Natural Dyes of Hawaiian Indigenous Plants to Understand Electrophoresis: Place-based Learning, introduces a classroom and lab activity that uses dyes derived from plants such as ʻōlena, ʻukiʻuki, and māmaki to demonstrate how charged molecules move through a gel matrix. The talk offers a practical example of how local plant knowledge can be integrated into science instruction and laboratory practice.
