A special lecture by Omura Satoshi who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

    On July 27th our students attended a special lecture, “A message for you who carry hopes for the future.”  It was held in the gym of Ehime Prefectural Matsuyama Technical High School.  Omura Satoshi, Emeritus Professor at Kitasato University, gave us the lecture.  He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.  He looked back his process and told us the importance of a challenge and making efforts.

 We cooperated with companies and was given a lecture about the data analysis of buying behavior.
   Our general and science course students adopted “Data Science” and statistics into their research last year.  They read a trend from huge data and promote Challenge Research and Super Science research, which leads to regional revitalization.  Last year some research conducted by General course students won the prize in Japan.
　  On Thursday July 25th Karasudani Masahiko and Miyaoka Maya who belong to the Department of Analytics Solution and Nishiguchi Miho who belongs to the Department of Economic Strategy PR visited our school and gave us a lecture titled “Unexpected? Satisfied?  Let’s see the world from shopping at supermarkets and drugstores.”  From first graders and third graders who are interested in statistics attended this lecture.
    After the lecture about a difference of pos data and ID-pos data, we did a workshop.  We analyzed what are sold well now by using a software made by True Data.  Students were divided into each groups and guessed a market from real data, using iPad.  The results often became different from what we had expected.  So we could enjoyed the lecture and realized an attractive point of guessing a market. 
   Thank you very much for guiding students kindly all the time, three teachers.  We are looking forward to your continued patronage.

    I chose “Food Science and Technology” for the second week.  This lesson were classroom learning, but we went to the Lab to do experiments on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. 
    In the lecture we learned science technology, which is in the background of food, and considered how to choose healthy food.  In the experiment, we measured pH of purple cabbage.  Then we made ice cream, cheese and butter.
  　When I had a conversation with my classmates, I was asked a lot of questions about Japanese food.  We had a great talk!
    I took five lectures.  I enjoyed “Pharmacy Compounding Workshop” the best.    We compounded materials, dispensed medicine and put it into a container.  Then we wrote a patient’s name on it.  I could experience medicine manufacturing.
  　We changed our roommates every week.  I shared the room with a student from Massachusetts.  She was very friendly and kind.  We had a lot of conversations and joined the activities together.  I introduced origami to her and folded it together.
    This week, I asked people around me to speak slowly because I learned from mistakes last week.  Then everyone told me meanings of English words in conversation and rephrased what they said as easily as possible.  So we had a nice chat and it was connected to learn new things.  In group chatting with new friends, I learned unique expressions and abbreviations which are used in America.
  　I also learned a lot about American culture and tried to have American food and drink.  I surprised at the pizza shop in Storrs Center which I visited in the activity class.  Surprisingly, I could choose topping ingredients and pizza dough I like.  They were so delicious!
    I’ll take “Digital Animation and Motion Graphic” class next week.
