There are a hundred perfectly reasonable explanations for wanting to pay a visit to Honolulu, any time of year. Its eminence as a major destination for tourists and travelers in the world is well-established. With every passing year, it continues to attract more visitors, drawn by the siren’s call of its precious beaches, and the promise of happy times ahead.

But it is also a place of great learning, where the University hosts some of the most cutting edge and provocative thinkers, artists, and scientists in the world. There are some stunning experiments in the works at any given time, and the island offers a wonderful balance. Scholars can delight in a peace of mind that can only be found in such a lovely setting, but they can also interact with some of the best minds of their generation. Some of these, like Ryuzo Yanagimachi are putting forth theories and experiments that can be reproduced in other places, under the same conditions, and that’s tantamount to a breakthrough.

Some lovers of science and technology are familiar with the new cloning technologies, but it might be news to discover that one of the most promising comes from Dr. Yanagimichi, and is even called the Honolulu Method named for the place he developed it. He conceived of a way to take the DNA out of the nucleus of a mouse, and to inject it into another cell to replace its DNA.

The method has proven to be very elegant and successful, and has brought him enormous attention, and secured his place in the history of biological sciences. So, while many travelers are drawn to the Honolulu best hotels for the chance to escape from it all, there is also the possibility of meeting up with some of these exciting visionaries, who are helping to create a better world, here and everywhere.
