University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researchers have received a five-year, $5.6 million grant to help reduce intra-abdominal fat, overall body fat and to improve cancer-related biomarkers and gut microbiome functions for high-risk ethnic groups in Hawaiʻi.
Over the past 6 years, gravitational wave observatories have been detecting black hole mergers, verifying a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity.
A study co-authored by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa scientists suggests that Mylodon—a ground sloth that lived in South America until about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago—was not a strict vegetarian like all of its living relatives.
The mental health of Hawaiʻi adult residents has historically been among the best in the U.S., with the 50th state ranked among the top three states in the country by Mental Health America (No. 1 in 2020 report released in late 2019, No. 2 in 2019 report and No. 3 in 2018 report).
New international research on plant and animal changes over the past 50,000 years suggests that climate change was a primary driver of extinction and reduced diversity in the North.
