Thank you, again, Barry Taniguchi for your continued support of TMT and astronomy in Hawaii https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2019/04/21/opinion/please-support-tmt-astronomy/ #ImuaTMT #WeSupportTMT (link in bio)
In a statewide poll conducted in 2018, 74% of Hawaii residents agreed that TMT will help create good paying jobs, economic and educational benefits for those living on Hawaii Island. #WeSupportTMT #ImuaTMT
#ICYMI here's a great article on how astronomy has helped the Big Island's economy, especially with recovery after natural disasters. #ImuaTMT #WeSupportTMT https://www.hawaiibusiness.com/reaching-for-the-stars/
