Since 2019, Ted Radovich has been conducting science interviews as part of the “Science Zone” segment on his radio show, “In Your Head with Professor Ted,” which airs this Friday 9-12 on KTUH. Ted’s show, which is supported by producer Mikey Kantar (both of the Dept. of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences), has interviewed more than 50 scientists on different projects related to Hawaiʻi and the world. 

This summer, youths across the state learned and cooked their way through “4-H Camp Kau Kau,” a new week-long summer culinary camp from CTAHR’s 4-H Youth Development Program. Recipes and lessons focused on the context and diversity of local food in Hawai‘i, with hands-on cooking experiences and educational activities about Hawai‘i’s food and agricultural history.

Congrats Kirsten, or should we say, “Commissioner Oleson.” The professor in the Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Management was appointed Aug. 7 to the City and County of Honolulu’s Climate Change Commission. 

Is Kent Kobayashi a perpetual motion machine? The long-tenured professor in the Dept. of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences was recently named Interim Department Chair for TPSS. He will be teaching a newly developed course in the upcoming semester, "Controlled Environment Agriculture,” and is planning another new course, "Artificial Intelligence in Horticulture," scheduled for Fall 2025.

When CTAHR serves the community, and the community helps the College, everybody wins. The Mānana ahupuaʻa is home to several new food-growing systems after Oʻahu County Extension wrapped up its third annual summer workday series at the Urban Garden Center.
