The Hokkaido University Diversity Research Environment Promotion Office will be holding the KNIT a Network! Researcher Exchange Meeting online (via Zoom).
In this project, we will invite various guests involved in the world of science and research, and through an interview format, they will talk about their lives, work, and other topics. We will also accept questions from participants via chat and email.
For our 10th episode, we will be featuring Chiho Kawashima, Associate Professor at the Livestock Field Science Center and Head of the Gender Equality Promotion Office at Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine.
Professor Kawashima, who previously researched cow pregnancy and calving, shares the realities of her own pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing! She says her body was so worn out that she would have been culled if she were a cow (according to Professor Kawashima)... but we also hear about the insights she gained from the birth of her child and her current research.
Since it will be held during lunchtime, please feel free to join us.
Researchers and staff affiliated with the KNIT project's partner and collaborating institutions, including our university, as well as faculty, staff, researchers, and students of our university, are all welcome to participate.
We also accept questions.
