Blending of Culture and Science

Both culture and science have sought to answer the questions about who we are, where do we come from and where we are going. However, as science became more technologically advanced, the role and significance of culture experiences in this quest of has diminished—often at the expense of losing precious indigenous knowledge and scientific innovations.

Sponsored by the University of Hawai`i Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation.
