Researches & ResearchersTo Continue Being a Researcher - Misako Tatsuuma
What processes lead to the formation of planets? — Research Scientist Misako Tatsuuma aims to theoretically answer this question. Describing herself as "indecisive at times but fundamentally a perfectionist," Tatsuuma adds, "I consider strategies carefully before acting." This approach applies not only to her research but also to her private life. What are these strategies? Please see the full article via the related link.

Researches & ResearchersConnecting People Through Science - Tomoya Nagai
When we think of mathematics, the image of a large blackboard covered with various equations often comes to mind. Spirited conversations in front of such blackboards frequently appear in videos and photos capturing the research atmosphere of the Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences Program (iTHEMS). How are these lively discussion spaces created? We spoke with Tomoya Nagai, the Coordinator and Director of the Program Director's Office, whose work involves creating a conducive research environment. Please see the full article via the related link.

Person of the WeekSelf-introduction: Daeho Park
I interested in ameliorating methodologies employed hadron physics, especially quark model and lattice QCD, to test various ideas accurately and reliably. Then, equipped with correct characteristics of hadrons, I will trace back to QCD to investigate origin of diverse existence of hadrons. I like to combine different things in different ways, so if you have some geek-looking idea, please let me know!
