In my last week here in Japan, I presented a lecture to the local section of the Society of Polymer Science Japan, which has been promoting polymer science in industry and academia since 1951. Hosted by Prof. Masami Kamigaito, this was a fun lecture with lots of good questions from the students and staff attending, and an enjoyable meal of eel, a Nagoya specialty. I’m hopeful that Assistant Prof. Mineto Uchiyama keeps in touch – he just wouldn’t stop talking the entire night! Thanks very much for the hospitality – and hopefully we can collaborate in the future.
