 * Confirming the revised wording on this. Fugimus (talk) 00:02, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Fact checking
I don't see a reference for Dr. Hadfield working at WAQ for four years--and I don't think that's true. Where did you find that info? Akoawahine (talk) 04:17, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * also note that he retired (year) and has not been Director of PBRC for quite some time--be sure to say when, exactly, he was Director. He actually started teaching at Pomona BEFORE graduating from Stanford. Delete: Under Hadfield's research of reproduction and development, [it's repetitive].
 * Hadfield's goal with his work in terrestrial snails is --change to WAS
 * Thylacodes hadfieldi is a species of marine gastropod in the family Vermetidae that was described in 2007-- BY WHOM?
 * In Copenhagen, he studied under Gunnar Thorson--can you find a source for that tidbit? Akoawahine (talk) 04:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Added 2013 as retirement year, and citation.
 * changed wording to: "Hadfield's goal with his work in terrestrial snails was to restore the snail population..."
 * added authority for T. hadfieldii
 * cannot find a source (that was not co-authored by Hadfield) for studying under Gunnar Thorson in Copenhagen Fugimus (talk) 00:31, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The reference is linked immediately after that statement. It is mentioned in this article.
 * Helen. (2005, Jul 24). Marine lab looks for new home. Honolulu Star - Bulletin Fugimus (talk) 23:45, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * direct quote from the article: "The laboratory moved to its present building in 1972 under a state lease that runs until 2030, said laboratory director Michael Hadfield, noting it can be broken only if the property isn't being used as prescribed.
 * A zoology professor, he arrived in Hawaii in 1968 and worked four years at the Waikiki Aquarium until the then-new Kewalo Marine Laboratory was finished." Fugimus (talk) 23:48, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That's a bit different than how you've put it. MGH was an assistant professor in Zoology at UHM and used WAQ as a lab until KML was built.
 * The Star Bulletin article was by Helen Altonn (not just "Helen")--make that correction. Can you put in a direct link to the article or is it behind a fire wall? Akoawahine (talk) 00:20, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The one that I found was behind a paywall, but a link to the archived article: https://archives.starbulletin.com/2005/07/24/news/index10.html Fugimus (talk) 19:54, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hadfield works as the director of the Kewalo Marine Laboratory He is retired (emeritus)--what years was he Director of KML? Akoawahine (talk) 00:22, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
