2004 Harvard Sponsored Lecture
 

 

  

 

 

The Harvard Club of Hawaii sponsored a lecture on May 11th with a presentation by Edward Laws, Harvard '67 (B.S.) and '72 (Ph.D.). He is Chairperson of the University of Hawaii's Oceanography Department and his illustrated talk covered several crucial questions currently challenging oceanographic research:

  • Can we rescue marine fisheries, and the vast health benefits they provide, from growing mismanagement, overfishing, and political meddling?
  • How safe are Hawaii's waters for recreational use by visitors and
    kama'aina?
  • What is the ocean's potential as a source for life-saving pharmaceuticals?

Ed Laws is a leading lecturer and author on these and related subjects. He's written more than 100 publications in scientific journals, and has had two books published by Wiley-Interscience, one of which, "Aquatic Pollution," is now in its third edition and has been translated into Japanese and Chinese.

We hope you and your guests enjoyed this event!
