Comment

  • Kensuke Yoshida
    Postdoctoral Researcher

    I am very pleased and honored to be awarded the gold prize at CBS Retreat 2023. During the poster session, I discussed with many researchers from various fields, which was useful for further broadening my research scope. I also engaged in many insightful and stimulating discussions outside the poster session, potentially leading to future collaborations. The whole program at CBS Retreat significantly boosted my research motivation. I would like to refine my research, incorporating the extensive feedback at the retreat. I am also looking forward to collaborating with researchers in different fields.

    It is my great honor to receive the Silver Award. The 2023 CBS retreat was my very first neuroscience retreat ever and it was such a stimulating and fun experience! It was an awesome opportunity for me to witness both the breadth and depth of the neuroscience research conducted at CBS. In addition, I really appreacite all the valuable and thoughtful feedback on my ongoing project provided by CBS researchers from such diverse backgrounds. Besides the more formal activities (seminars/poster sessions), I also enjoyed the social event(s) at the retreat quite a bit – I was able to make so many new friends!

    I am very honored to have received a bronze award for my poster presentation at CBS Retreat 2023. I spent a very meaningful time receiving many advice from unexpected perspectives from researchers with various backgrounds. Based on the feedback I received at the retreat, I will refine my research for publication. I will continue to work hard on my research so that I can present new data again next year. Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who worked so hard in organizing the retreat and to Dr. Fujisawa, who has been a constant mentor to me.
