1. What prompted you decide to participate in the "JSPS Science Dialogue" program?
I wanted to know better the Japanese high school environment and the students going to these school, especially to evaluate their and scientific and English level.
2. To what did you give greatest attention in preparing and giving the lecture?
I tried to have the most comprehensive lecture in order to get the students reactive and in order to give them a very general overview of micro and nanotechnologies.
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?
It was not difficult, but the words should be simple and the spoken language should be clear.
4. Could you give your impression with regard to participating in this program?
It was really interesting from a cultural and scientific point of view. I highly recommend this program to future postdocs.
5. Was it meaningful in terms of your fellowship activities?
In some sense yes, since I had to summarize all the knowledge acquired during the postdoc.
6. In what ways do you think the students benefited from the program?
They could maybe asked more questions and have a clearer idea about the researcher job, and also they maybe acquired some non scholar knowledge regarding the research in micro.
7. Could you give some overall advice or comments to future participants in the program?
I highly recommend the program to new and future participants.
