This year, the Department of Life Biological Sciences was able to welcome two new students from overseas. On September 30, the day before the entrance ceremony, pre-admission education included a laboratory tour by Professor Kanae Ando and workshops conducted by Assistant professor Hidemori Yazaki and graduate student instructors. Four students from the Department of Biological Sciences also participated, and in a friendly atmosphere, they learned the basics such as how to use equipment, how to conduct experiments, and how to take notes.
