Everyone came back from a three-day short trip from Kansai. On the third day, we learned two things. First, we took a special course by associate professor Takeo Yamauchi of University of Hyogo at The Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo prefecture. We learned about pests and infection, mainly about mosquitos and ticks. We gained a wonderful sense of fulfillment through observation of specimen and the specimen room. Second, in Harima science park city, we visited exhibitions about the radiation facility “Spring 8” and “SACLA”, science and chemistry laboratory, famous buildings and a solar power facility made of more 12,000 panels. We were touched by all of them.　We can think about what we can do to develop sustainable society and what society and environment should be like through three days. I want to make the most of the experience for their research and their future career.　　(John Doe)
