コロナ禍での大学院研究

2021-02-17 14:51:12 | 研究室紹介
先週、大学院生物圏科学専攻修士論文発表会があり、当研究室から3名が発表いたしました。コロナ禍で研究は例年になく苦労があったことと思います。修士論文を基にさらに努力を重ねて、投稿論文化いたしましょう。

恒例の集合写真です。来年は、マスクなしで撮影できると良いですね。



定山渓にて Serendipity in Jozankei

2021-02-16 17:47:41 | 研究室紹介
定山渓へ行ってみようか。

研究室のメンバーの何人かと思いつきで定山渓へ。札幌駅からバスに揺られて約1時間で到着。短時間の調査で思わぬ発見がいくつも。

研究の醍醐味です!
