JSPS Information Session was held on Friday, January 20, 2023, hosted by JSPS Washington Office and the Science Diplomacy Committee, Johns Hopkins University.
The info session consisted of 2 parts, one was JSPS info session, the other was a panel discussion by 4 Alumni members at JHU.
Dr. Kit Bowen, Dr. N. Peter Armitage, Dr. Stephanie Rankin-Turner and Dr. Saed Abbasi introduced their research experiences in Japan. In particular, they talked about the booklet “Life in Japan”, called “Survival Book” at the discussion, which all fellows received after starting their fellowship in Japan. The discussion became animated because it sounded like the booklet helped them with their daily life in Japan.
Also, Dr. Kit Bowen and Dr. N. Peter Armitage mentioned that they have been supervisors for Japanese students. It was evidence that the mutual exchange of researchers between the U.S. and Japan is continuing after their fellowship.
Mr. Taichi Kaneshiro, the Education Counsellor at the Embassy of Japan in the USA, joined this info session, he introduced “Study Abroad in Japan” for graduate students.
If any alumni members are interested in helping us host the Information Sessions in the future, please contact the JSPS Washington Office.
