Farewell party for graduates was held, and Dr. Ayami Matsushima came back from the Salk Institute.

After the achievement report meeting was over, the preparatory party was held at Hotel Okura Fukuoka. Over a sumptuous meal, participants enjoyed chatting with professors and students.

Also, Dr. Ayami Matsushima, who had been studying with Dr. Ronald Evans at the Salk Institute since January 1, 2024, returned on February 29, 2024.

She gave us chocolates as a gift and told us about her research life in the United States. We will continue to work hard together with Dr. Ayami Matsushima, who has surely grown up through his research life in the U.S.
