日本再生医療学会総会@新潟 / Congress of the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine @ Niigata

　日本再生医療学会総会に参加しました。ちょうど朝に行く準備をしていると地震が起きて、新幹線が止まったのですが、何とか予定通り午後から参加することができました。以前に演者として部分的には参加したことがあったのですが、本格的に参加するのは初めてでした。初めてお会いする方、久しぶりに会う友人、多くの出会いがあって、やはり対面の学会とオンラインの違いを実感できました。自分の研究と関わる多くの情報を得ることができて、とても有意義でした。

I attended the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine Meeting in Niigata. While I was preparing for the meeting that morning, we had an earthquake and Shinkansen rapid trains stopped due to it. However, I managed to join the meeting from that afternoon as I initially planned. Previously, I had partially attended this meeting as a speaker twice, but this was my first time to fully join the meeting. I was able to meet some people for the very first time, and some friends for the first time in a while. An in-person meeting is indeed different from an online one. I learned a lot of new information related to our research. It was fruitful.
