Farewell message from Nozomi Kakinuma

Our administrative staff member, Nozomi Kakinuma, will be leaving RIKEN on February 14 to return to academic research. We will greatly miss her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Here is a message from Nozomi:

Since April last year, I have been part of iTHEMS as a staff member in the iTHEMS Promotion Office. However, I have recently decided to pursue a career in research.
Through coffee meetings, where researchers passionately discussed their work and explained it in an accessible way, I came to deeply appreciate both the excitement and significance of fundamental research. Inspired by these experiences, I am now committed to dedicating myself to research.
I am truly grateful for all the support and guidance I have received. Thank you very much.
