Genetic Ethics in Hawaiʻi: Feedback

Exploring the intersection of biotechnological advancement and our unique island culture.

This LibGuide is meant to be an open source repository of bioethics content resources for secondary STEM educators, particularly in the life sciences. Your feedback is important in creating a useful knowledge hub to support bioethics education in the classroom. Please contact us if you would like to submit curriculum or resources to this platform, or would like to collaborate on ideas.

Curriculum contributors include:

  • Dr. Yvonne Chan, ʻIolani School
  • Dr. Kevin Doxzen, Innovative Genomics Institute
  • Eric Tong, ʻIolani School

Our curator is Eric Tong, a genetics and genomics instructor at ʻIolani School (Honolulu, Hawaiʻi), and program coordinator for the ʻĀina-Informatics Network. This LibGuide was constructed as a collaboration between ʻĀina-Informatics and the ʻIolani Upper School Library.

What is ʻĀina-Informatics?

What can genetics, genomics and data science teach us about the land which sustains us? The ʻĀina-Informatics Network is a new initiative based at ʻIolani School which has been designed to bring genome science into our local high school classrooms. Our program’s objective is to develop place-based curricula for genome science that centers on Hawaiʻi’s unique relationships to ‘āina, all while generating real data via a citizen science approach. This growing network consists of high school science teachers from both public and private schools across Hawaiʻi.
