The Community Cooking Series aims to bring the OIST community and residents of Onna closer through a shared love of food. Each session will be focused on one dish, taught by someone with a personal connection to the recipe (perhaps you?).

Between Nov 28th (Mon) and Dec 9th (Fri) the Resource Center will accept food donations. These will later be sent to the local non-profit organization “Second Harvest Okinawa,” which will distribute them to families in need.

Speaker: Prof. Gediminas Juzeliūnas, Vilnius University

OIST Mini Symposium | Organizing unit: Evolutionary Genomics Unit | Open to OIST members | For non-OIST members: Please contact the organizers for information on how to participate.

This mini-symposium will allow the leading researchers on termite phylogeny and evolution to present their latest results. It will help determine the gaps in our understanding, and design approaches to fill them. In particular, this mini-symposium will provide a platform for researchers to determine the necessary steps to take to create a new termite classification, that takes into account phylogenetic evidences.

Why is it that when you have a tense conversation with a boss, coworker, or partner, you feel like you’re staring down a charging rhinoceros? How is it that both situations cause a fight-or-flight response? To answer these questions, we will take a closer look at the autonomic nervous system and the way our biology helps us navigate daily life, how we respond to cues of safety and danger below the level of conscious thought, and how this guides the way we move through the world, from turning toward and backing away, to connecting and other times isolating.

If this ignites the curious part of you, please come and join me, and let’s befriend our autonomic nervous system together.

Curious about Intellectual Property? Please join our introductory seminar, hosted by TDIC alongside guest Patent Lawyer Gregory Kirsch.

This is an introduction-level seminar open to everyone at OIST.

Talk 1: 15:00-16:00

Speaker: Prof. Shigeaki Koike (Waseda University)

Title: ABP maximum principle with upper contact sets for fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs

Talk 2: 16:00-17:00

Speaker: Prof. Michiaki Onodera (Tokyo Institute of Technology)

Title: A perturbation theory of overdetermined problems

Abstract: The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which is a fundamental result in quantum mechanics, and related inequalities such as the hydrogen and Hardy uncertainty principles, belong to the family of geometric inequalities known as the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. In this talk, we discuss some recent results about the optimal uncertainty principles, Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities, and their quantitative stability. The talk is based on recent joint works with C. Cazacu, J. Flynn and G. Lu.

Shaping the future of 3D interaction with virtual worlds

This session will be done in Japanese. The program will start off with a general introduction of OIST, PhD & Research Internship admission process, financial support and student life followed by a panel discussion by two OIST PhD students.

Target audience: Interns, Students, PostDocs, and those who are interested in the same research field. Language: English

This talk will introduce two major forms of cold-water biogenic habitats. Deep-sea coral reefs are extensive in the NE Atlantic region due to high food availability and high carbonate saturation levels. Maerl beds are calcified seaweed habitats and are the oldest biogenic habitat type found in shallow waters of the region. (...)

In the face of ongoing change across our world, societies, and organizations, Inclusive Leadership is critical for creating conditions and climates that enhance adaptability, empowerment and collaboration, and a strong sense of community and belonging. This year’s symposium brings us together to explore how the qualities of inclusive leadership can be engendered at multiple levels across our institutions.

We invite participants from Japan and across the world to engage in discussions, inquiry, and strategic thinking to explore how to: develop institutional cultures where every individual can thrive and their contributions are valued; instill ownership amongst leaders at all levels to actively foster inclusion and equity; empower those who identify as people from minoritized and underrepresented backgrounds to realize their full leadership potential.
