The other day, I couldn’t find saury for 300 yen, so I had to make do with horse mackerel. However, my craving for saury didn’t go away.
Finally, a 100-yen opportunity appeared. I grilled and ate two of them, and they had a deeper flavor than the mackerel—it was fantastic. The Saury🐟Revengers (SauReve) mission was accomplished!
Just as with finding discounted saury, persistence in research often leads to fortunate discoveries. Keeping an open mind can also reveal interesting new perspectives on a problem.
On my way home from university, goldenrod spreads along the roadside. Towering above human height, its sight captivates me. This weed is incredibly vigorous. But if only this flourishes, there’s no room for other flowers to bloom.
Suddenly, I wonder if the human world is similar. A place with diverse people is surely more interesting.
We’re thrilled to welcome Lakshmi (left) and Donia (right) from IIT Madras for a 3-month stay! Short-term research in a new environment is challenging, but their perseverance and enthusiasm have energized our lab!
I’m enjoying the expanded research scope and cultural exchange. Wishing them a great stay!
A side note during my manufacturing class: In college, I admired aerospace but couldn’t fully commit. I wonder if my friends felt the same? Back then, there wasn’t even a lab for medical devices.
I discovered potential and interest in biology. Now, I’m creating machines using cells. Not finding your passion right away can be an opportunity. It might lead you to pioneer new fields!
This is our lab’s group photo from October 2024. There are 30 people here, though not everyone could make it.
I’m moved to see so many young faces gathered today. It would be wonderful if we could reunite like this after graduation. That depends on my actions, doesn’t it?
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s future accomplishments.
I run around the university even in the rain. Now I love running, but when did this start?
The process was actually: running → gaining knowledge → developing a liking for it. My research followed a similar pattern: conducting research → gaining expertise → developing a passion for it. In other words, diving in to learn the content first is correct from a behavioral economics perspective.
In our lab, we frequently use 3D printers. The technological advancements in this field are remarkable, with equipment feeling outdated in just 2-3 years. This presents both challenges and research opportunities.
Our latest update:
Introduced 3 FDM and 3 LCD printers
Purpose: Addressing aging equipment and improving speed
Investment: Relatively affordable at under 100,000 yen(JPY) per printer
We’re hoping this bulk introduction will boost our research output!
*The photo shows the box of our previously purchased Elegoo Saturn3 Ultra. Stay tuned for an unboxing report of the new equipment!
The Chunichi Dragons, despite finishing last for three consecutive years, still drew over 2.3 million fans. Increasing attendance even with losses defies intuition. Which prevails in life: the win-at-all-costs mentality or narrative (storytelling)?
As a PI, I should know the path to victory in grant applications and papers. Even when children lose at a sports day, we can find enjoyment in the narrative. Mastering the narrative is a path to achieving both.
Quality education, in my opinion, involves personally editing and commenting on all outgoing manuscripts. However, when the volume is high and deadlines are approaching, I become overwhelmed.
It’s impossible to finish in one round, and with around 30 people in the lab, it’s quite a task. The number of manuscripts one can properly proofread likely corresponds to the upper limit of students one can effectively supervise in higher education. For me, perhaps it’s 40 students?
Today, we are welcoming two new international students from Pakistan joining our lab as master’s students. The image shows a commemorative photo with our new members. Welcome to Toyohashi! I will support you wholeheartedly, so let’s work together to achieve great research results.
