● 2023/12/10 Departure from Sapporo to San Francisco
After more than 10 hours of a tired airplane trip and 2 hours of customs inspection, I finally arrived in San Francisco.
● 2023/12/11 My poster presentation
I presented my research outcome, which is about the summer heatwaves over northeastern Siberia, to many researchers. Especially, the researchers from Korea showed much interest in my research. I also received many constructive comments from them, which helped to improve my research.
● 2023/12/11 My poster presentation
I listened to other researchers’ oral and poster presentations, focusing on heatwave and Arctic change topics. There are so many presentations in many disciplines, and some are very outstanding. From the outstanding presentation, including the content and presentation style, I Learn how to present a better oral presentation and poster presentation. That will be used to improve my research presentation.
I actively talked to many researchers all over the world (most of them are early career researchers) and discussed with them. In addition, I distributed my A4 size poster to them to increase the number of readers of my research as many as possible.
It was a very nice experience to meet with some researchers who wrote papers that are informative to my research. I also built connections and kept contact information with some researchers, which will be used in my future research and career plan.
● 2023/12/16–12/17 Departure from San Francisco to Sapporo
Again, after a very long trip by airplane, I finally arrived in Sapporo safely.
● The daily life during the stay in San Francisco
I was very surprised about the extremely high consumption level here. I was also shocked by the tip culture. By the way, the Golden Gate Bridge is magnificent.
