The 103rd CSJ Annual Meeting (2023)
My name is YINGQI MU and I am about to be a Ph.D. student at Hokkaido University. I belong to the Laboratory of Molecular Device in Graduate School of Life Science, Professor Ijiro Kuniharu’s lab.
In the final month of the master course, I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in the 103rd CSJ Annual Meeting. This is a great conference organized by the Chemical Society of Japan, gathering so many talented scientific researchers in the field of chemistry. I feel that by collecting research information and presenting my research results so far, I had an experience that will be useful for dealing with current issues and inspiring future research.
The conference was held from March 22 to 25 in Tokyo University of Science. In an atmosphere that I usually cannot feel in online conference, I can not only hear the contents of cutting-edge research and obtain information that would be useful for my research, but also listen to the inspiring presentations on the spot and communicate with some researchers face to face.
I gave an oral presentation and that is my first time in a conference (several poster presentations before). I was nervous before the presentation. Fortunately, the presentation went well, but improvements are necessary. The audience listened carefully and asked unanticipated questions that made me consider my research from different angles, which is the reason why such a conference is necessary.
During this conference, I was able to enrich my knowledge related to my research and obtain information that will be useful for future research. At the same time, I feel that it was an experience that reminds what I lacked now, such as language skills, and is helpful to my future in many ways.
