Since last year, I have been a judge for the High School Bio-summit in Tsuruoka, Yamagata. Research presentations are very prepared and interesting. The quality of their skills were surpassing that of ordinary university and graduate students. The judges also discussed seriously and judged them carefully.

By the way, this year it was a great honor to have been included in a photo of the Yamagata newspaper. I was really relaxed by the Shonai dialect of the nurse, and I thought Tsuruoka is a good place. And the Suiden Terrace where I stayed was the best. I want to come again.
