Comment

  • Ayaka Kato


    I am very pleased and honored to receive the prestigious Gold prize at RIKEN CBS Retreat Poster Session.
    I would like to appreciate Retreat Committee, Human Development Team, and Director Kageyama for their support.
    Although the presentation was conducted online, I enjoyed interactive and enthusiastic discussions with many researchers who came to my poster. It was a great opportunity to obtain feedback from CBS researchers working on a wide range of neuroscience topics, using various model organisms and both theoretical and experimental approaches. I am encouraged by the fact that I received the award based on the votes of the audience, and I would like to further pursue my research.

    I received the Gold Prize in the Online Poster Session of the CBS Retreat. This was my first opportunity to present my on-going project at CBS. In addition, it was my first poster presentation with SpatialChat. I was worried if anyone would come to listen to my presentation and if I could explain well, but contrary to my expectation, I received many questions and comments. I was especially grateful to the PIs for their deep discussions about my research. When my name was called at the award ceremony, I was too surprised to make any comments.... Again, thank you very much for the wonderful award and the precious and enjoyable time.
