Research Update Two-photon Microscopy: A powerful tool to observe neuronal activity Research Update New weather radar test conducted at OIST For the next month, JAXA and NICT will use parts of the OIST Onna campus in experiments which may lead to advances in weather forecasting and flood prediction. Research Update OIST Science Film Show On Tuesday, March 29th, the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Promotion Corporation held a "Science Film Show" at Seaside House for junior high and high school students. Institutional News Summary of International Symposium & Workshop on R&D Cluster Development Released OIST held an innovative event called the "International Symposium and Workshop: Toward the Development of an R&D Cluster in Okinawa" at the end of last year, and a full summary of the major points and recommendations made is now available for download from the International Symposium and Workshop Event Report page.
