Abstract
This poster explores the intersection of indigenous knowledge, personal observations, and scientific inquiry to address health issues in the Pacific region. The focus is on how anecdotal and generational knowledge can improve or add to modern health practices and education. By empowering students to make personal observations and test hypotheses based on their life experiences and environment, students can test these traditional practices using scientific methods, thus bridging the gap between science and culture.
