Yes, it was very sad news. I took over a part of Prof. Aono works. I'm a freshwater ecologists. I have provided some Japanese phelogical data for State of Climate of American Meteorological Society every year, including the bloom date of Cherry blossoms in Arashiyama. wmo.int/publication-...
Congratulations! Dr. Noriko Takamura, who was my mater and PhD supervisor, won the Ecological Society of Japan Prize 2026. I learned (have learned) a lot from her. She always taught me the importance of identifying a driving factor. Our retentive study is here! link.springer.com/article/10.1...
With Dr. George Sugihara (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego). As a CCM user, I was very excited to meet the developer in person. He was invited to a symposium at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of Japan, held in Kyoto this year. He was very kind!!

I’m studying at a cafe this morning by reading papers that I has accumulated in my backpack. This review paper is really interesting!

Tonight I watched this movie CODA. What a beautiful and heartwarming movie I’ve never seen before! Must watch it but please do so without getting any information! This is an Academy Award-winning film (2022).

Our institute created this great YouTube Movie in English! How Did Japan’s Largest Salmonid Become Endangered? www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEIP... Sakhalin taimen (Parahucho perryi) is a Critically Endangered species on the IUCN Red List and has been suffering from X. Please check it out!
This is the homepage of the Center for Limnology at UW–Madison @uwmadison.bsky.social , where I was a visiting scientist from 2018 to 2019. I love the new slogan, “Global leadership, local impacts.” I hope to walk on the ice of Lake Mendota again someday! limnology.wisc.edu
