1. What prompted you decide to participate in the "JSPS Science Dialogue" program?
My interest in communication with young people.

Comprehensibility, popular style.
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?

Not so much.

Same as Q4 + I believe some students were motivated for studying sciences and languages.
