JSPS San Francisco held a fellowship information and networking session at the University of California, Irvine. With the generous help of Mary Frances Ypma-Wong (Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) Graduate Division, University of California, Irvine), participants came to learn about the JSPS’s fully-funded fellowships for research in Japan and to connect with fellow researchers.

The sessions drew a variety of researchers at different career stages from different fields, including late-term doctoral students, postdocs and faculty members.

The JSPS appreciate alumni Suzanne A. Blum (Professor, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine) for sharing her experience researching in Japan on a JSPS fellowship. Her talk was the highlight of the session, providing valuable insight through his first-hand experience.

JSPS San Francisco will continue to hold regular networking info sessions at universities around the Bay Area. All interested researchers are welcome to attend.
