Honolulu ARCS Scholar Alum Anthony Amend will discuss "Fantastical Yeasts and Where to Find Them (in Hawaiʻi)" at the April gathering of Honolulu Science Café. Dr. Amend is a professor in the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa's Pacific Biosciences Research Center, where he heads the Amend Lab on Microbial Diversity, Ecology and Evolution Lab. He studies factors that shape diverse microbial communities on land and in the ocean, and why differences in those communities matter for hosts and ecosystems.
Dr. Amend received the Honolulu Chapter's 2007 Maybelle F. Roth ARCS Award in Conservation Biology. In recognition of the Honolulu Chapter's 50th anniversary, partner organization Science Café has included several speakers with ARCS ties in its 2024–2025 lineup.
Science Café brings together science enthusiasts from across O‘ahu for conversation and edification on the third Wednesday of the month at Pho Viet Thien Hong in Mānoa Marketplace. No-host dinner begins at 5:30 followed by a talk at 6:30 p.m.
