keynote speech
Difference between "saw" and "noticed."
Mr. Shinobu Ishigaki
Director, Dinosaur Museum, Okayama University of Science
Adjunct Professor, Center for Paleontology and Geochronology
Many skeletons have been found in Mongolia, one of the world's leading producers of dinosaurs. However, no dinosaur footprint fossils had been found. One day, a footprint fossil was found by chance, and everyone was surprised at the unexpected state of production. At that time, everyone's eyes changed and they thought, "There is such a state of production. Then, they realized that there were numerous footprint fossils on the surface of strata they had been casually looking at. Discovering a new way of looking at things is one of the great things about science. This is one of the great things about science.

Tour planning for junior high and high school students
Okayama University of Science Laboratory Tour
Partner: Okayama University of Science
Let's take a peek into a live university laboratory, which you cannot normally see at an open campus or on-campus tour. Let's experience what it is like to be a university student by observing actual laboratories and asking questions to the professors. ... You might even get to hear from some of the university students' seniors.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from those who register in advance. If seats are still available, participants may join on the day of the event.

| Courses in Science (Zoology) Laboratory of Animal Resources and Laboratory of Animal Reproductive Physiology where you can learn zoology. |
The Animal Resources Laboratory investigates various biological characteristics such as genetics, morphology, physiology, reproduction, and nutrition of small mammals and other wild-derived captive animals through their lineage preservation. The Animal Reproductive Physiology Laboratory investigates endocrine dynamics, their regulatory mechanisms, and the relationship between hormones and behavior in laboratory and zoo animals.

List of Booth Projects
Booth exhibits of the following projects will be held at the poster venue.
B-01: Genetic Cafe® - Genetic Awareness Project (supported by Chugoku Bank)
The Chugoku Bank, Ltd.
Have you ever thought about heredity? In recent years, we are entering an era in which knowledge of genetic information can be used for disease prevention and treatment. In this booth, we will introduce the efforts of Genetic Cafe®, which organizes events and lectures to provide an opportunity for people to become familiar with genetics and genome medicine.
B-02: Challenge yourself to research the ocean and aquatic environment with the Marine Challenge Program!
Japan Advanced Science and Technology Education and Human Resources Research and Development Organization
The Marine Challenge Program supports junior and senior high school students who want to challenge themselves in all kinds of research related to the ocean and aquatic environment. Both first-time researchers and those already conducting research are welcome! We will support your research with research funding and mentoring by research coaches. At this booth, we will offer advice on planning a research theme and introduce the Marine Challenge Program. Please let us know your interests in the ocean, such as biology, environment, manufacturing, marine debris, etc!
