🏃 The FT2024 jogging group started with just four people. Dr. Hashimoto promoted it during the conference, and we wondered how many would join.
By the final day, we had nearly 20 participants. The mix of walkers and runners created a welcoming atmosphere. These morning activities brought us closer than formal conference meetings. I’m grateful to all participants.
As an organizer of FT2024, I could only watch over the laboratory students’ presentations from a distance, without offering direct assistance.
Nevertheless, I was impressed by how they took ownership of their research and confidently explained their work to visitors. Their presentations showed remarkable strength and conviction. It was gratifying to provide this opportunity to 14 students, seeing them grow through their interactions with visitors.
Four international students’ first poster presentation at FT2024 Sendai. It can be stressful when language barriers limit the number of visitors they can interact with.
To address this, they considered effective presentation styles, incorporating actual devices, videos, and partial Japanese language elements. Looking forward to their next presentation. 4人の留学生たちの初めてのポスター発表。言語のバリアがあって、お客さんが限られるのはストレスになりますよね。
Inspired by Hashimoto-san, we launched the conference’s first morning jogging club, curious about who would join us in Sendai’s chilly dawn.
Four runners gathered on our inaugural day for a photo by the Kokeshi monument. We completed three laps of Nishi Park, covering 3km. This energizing morning activity was a welcome alternative to evening meetings. We’ve created a LINE group and look forward to growing our jogging community!
From Nov 25, we’re hosting a conference at Sendai International Center. The main hall looks perfect with final checks done. Exhibition booths and poster panels are being arranged smoothly – everything is coming together nicely.
In the evening, four committee members shared local Sendai specialties while reviewing preparations and planning next year’s conference. Whatever will be, will be.
After six years, I took my family to Hamakita Forest Athletic Park in northern Hamamatsu City. With 40 different athletic obstacles taking two hours to complete, it’s quite a challenge.
While most adults skip some obstacles, I’m the type who enjoys trying everything! I hope to maintain this energy to tackle all these activities even 30 years from now, for both my research and teaching career 💪.
🏃♂️ During my morning run before the conference on its second and final day, I visited the areas where I used to hang out during my university days – Osu, Kamimaezu, and Tsuruma.
I jogged past nostalgic spots like Osu Kannon Temple 🛕, Yabaton 🐷, Sugakiya Osu 🍜, and Tsuruma Park 🏞️. While these areas have evolved with time, their essence remains unchanged. This is the kind of timeless value I want to pursue in life.
アメリカの研究者と交流し、生物材料の外部委託による効率的な研究スタイルを学びます。私がやりがちな自前主義とは異なる視点を得ます。今後に活かそう✨ I attended the CBS conference banquet on Lucent Tower’s 40th floor in Nagoya. The night view was breathtaking, with illuminated Nagoya Castle to the east and the station square’s green lights to the south.
I engaged with American researchers. They taught their efficient approach to outsourcing biological materials, offering fresh insights beyond my traditional in-house methods ✨
この三菱電機は20年前、学部生時代にFA関連製品を見学させてもらいました。後に友人から、ここが花形部署だと教えてもらったことを思い出します。懐かしさと再発見が入り混じる、充実の学会前の朝の運動でした。 I completed a 12km morning run 🏃 before the conference, visiting Nagoya Dome, Mitsubishi Electric, Tokugawa Garden, and Nagoya TV Tower.
At Mitsubishi Electric, I recalled my undergraduate visit 20 years ago to see their FA products. Later, a friend told me this was actually their prestigious division. This morning run became a fulfilling pre-conference exercise, mixing nostalgia with rediscovery.
🦠👨🔬 I gave an invited talk on Microorganism Cyborgs at CBS 2024, Nagoya University. To be honest, my preparation wasn’t perfect.
However, the Euglena video prepared by my students was well-received by the audience! Good materials and presentation structure made it work. The view from the 8th floor of the EI Innovation Building was spectacular.
