Attending conferences is always stimulating.
We hope to continue participating and presenting regularly.
November 27-28, 2014
■ Participated in the 2nd Emergent Symposium by Tenure-Track Faculty.
This time, I was involved as an organizer.
There were some troubles, but it was a success in the end.
November 13, 2014
■ Participated as a speaker in the 44th Science Café.
It was great to let high school students experience various things.
I hope some of them will join our lab in the future!

■ Held the Spring Semester Closing Party 2014.
This time, we had pizza in the lab. With nine members, the spring semester went by quickly.
Looking forward to the autumn semester!
August 2-3, 2014
■ Held a lab open house and demonstrations at the 2014 Open Campus.
Last year, we had little to show, but thanks to the team’s efforts, our demonstrations improved.
Over two days, around 200 visitors viewed our demos.
If we inspired even one future YNU student, it was worth it.
Thanks to all M1 and B4 students who helped!
