Summary

In this episode of ‘きゅんです！サイエンス’, host Uchikawa and guest Professor Kobayashi from the University of Tokyo engage in a casual conversation. They start by discussing the Olympics, particularly figure skating, and then move to a personal anecdote about a stargazing trip to Hirugami Onsen. The latter half focuses on Professor Kobayashi’s role as the chair of the Japanese Society for Biochemistry’s annual meeting, where he created original songs to promote science. He also mentions his involvement in the Ohsumi Frontier Science Foundation and a recent talk with Nobel laureates Ohsumi and Sakaguchi, which will be released on YouTube. The discussion highlights concerns about the future of basic science in Japan, as both laureates noted a decline in funding and freedom for curiosity-driven research. The video serves as a promotional teaser for the upcoming talk and encourages viewers to watch it.
