1. What prompted you decide to participate in the "JSPS Science Dialogue" program?
The desire to see what kind of educational background the Japanese science students (like the ones in my lab) have.
2. To what did you give greatest attention in preparing and giving the lecture?
To make the presentation visually appealing to the students.
3. Did you find it difficult to give a lecture in English to Japanese students? Could you give some advice to future lecturers on how to facilitate communication with Japanese students?
I think the topic would have been rather demanding in any language. As for future lecturers, I would highly recommend having someone proficient in Japanese and familiar with your field of study to accompany them.
4. Could you give your impression with regard to participating in this program?
It was interesting to see a Japanese high school and I would say the reception was extremely nice and friendly.
5. Was it meaningful in terms of your fellowship activities?
I think all of my experiences in Japan will greatly benefit me in the future, one way or another.
6. In what ways do you think the students benefited from the program?
In the best case, it could help them in choosing their future careers. In my own personal experience, actual scientific work differs quite a lot from the things they teach at high school.
