Today we honor the one and only Dr. Isabella Abbot!
Born Isabella Kauakea Yau Yung Aiona, Abbott was an educator, ethnobotanist, author, the first native Hawaiian woman to receive a Ph.D. in science, and is regarded as the world’s leading expert on algae in the Pacific Ocean 1/2

"Biofuels are bullshit."
Before @spirainc I interviewed 100s of people to learn why algae biofuels failed.
After presenting my findings at the @algaeindustry summit I was privately asked not to come back🤬
Here's why biofuels failed + how we can be better⤵️

Did you know that yellow-spotted salamander embryos have symbiotic algae living inside them? This is the only known example of algae endosymbiosis that involves a vertebrate species.

What science says about maximizing life:
1. Eat less often.
2. Avoid sugar & high GI foods. Eat stressed plants.
3. Do hip-hinge exercises, stretch, pant a few times a week.
4. Block blue light. Sleep well.
5. Calm your mind, never lie, don't hate.
6. Have close friends & pets.✌️
