| The bulbs I planted last year have sprouted and lovely tulips have bloomed. Birth, growth, and death--that's the defining characteristic of living things. Individuals die and a new life is born. Living involves measuring time and repeating it. Modern society has moved in the direction of killing time in the name of progress and efficiency. As I thought about this, I came across the old Japanese word, mezuru(philos in Greek). It has the feeling of loving the life that is born while taking the time to watch over it carefully. During the first discussion about love, Dr. Imamichi said science was just a function of the involvement of curiosity. The research was conducted by Dr. Itakura, who tries to understand the human mind through its evolution and development, and Dr. Iwasaki, who wants to identify the evolution of the biological clock and conduct research into cyanobacterial genes with their internal clocks. At the Scientist Library, Dr. Honjo examines the mechanism of immunity, which concentrates the genome's adaptability. I hope we have conveyed their love for science as a subject that transcends mere curiosity. (Keiko Nakamura) |
