Science Digest

​​​

Do you enjoy discussing your work and getting ideas from your peers, getting a glimpse of other research institutions, and networking?  Science Digest is the place for you. This is where the speaker talks about their work, career journey, and host institution, followed by a lively discussion session. Once a month, the ORC will host an invited speaker. If you want to be our next speaker, send us an e-mail: orc@oist.jp.
