Tokyo is so full of visual ads, in particular in the subway trains every inch is plastered with ads for cosmetics, food, holiday resorts, movies etc. And I always was wondering if any of them shows Misaki Ito's smile. <br />I found it strange, that the county is so polite, and very friendly and helpful. But on the other hand, people rarely look a stranger in the eyes.<br />About the next research scandal appearing on the horizon (the STAP stem cells from the Riken institute, it really seems to be another example of the unhealthy alliance of fame-addicted scientists and journal editors (in this case NATURE and NEJM) who neglect their duties of critically and carefully assesing the manuscripts, only because they want be the first to publish and increase their impact factor and the money they can then make with adverts. it is really synergism between two bad intentions to result in a worse scenario.<br />greetings michael radiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418500820960221635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-78862776856293138852014-03-12T06:14:48.631+01:002014-03-12T06:14:48.631+01:00Dude - I am so jealous of you right now. :( Did ...Dude - I am so jealous of you right now. :( Did you see this latest development? http://mainichi.jp/english/english/newsselect/news/20140312p2g00m0dm035000c.html<br />just a peasanthttp://www.21stcenturyhumanist.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-27724689980495904402014-03-07T13:54:08.384+01:002014-03-07T13:54:08.384+01:00Thanks for the wishes.

I am always surprised by how the Japanese manage to unite their many traditions in social, cultural and family life with this hyper-modern technical civilization. After the conference, we stoud in Tokyo in an typical family-style guesthouse (http://www.kimiryokan.jp) , with tatami mats to sleep on, japanese wodden bath-tube and paper-blinds on the windows. It is really a good advise, for everyone considering to visit Tokyo. I'm sure it is also listed in Lonely Planet.<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-1567201355564897732014-03-05T03:26:22.435+01:002014-03-05T03:26:22.435+01:00Good luck with your talk Michael.
