I finished the Hokkaido Marathon! As I approached the finish line, my legs were so exhausted I couldn't lift them, but I still enjoyed the experience.

Noriaki Mizumoto (M1) and Kyoka Into (M1) received poster awards at the International Symposium on Polymer Physics held in Lanzhou, China. Congratulations! Ms. Mizumoto presented a poster on a method for removing artifacts during polymer solution structure analysis using light scattering, and Ms. Into presented a poster on a method for calculating the thermodynamic equilibrium constant of synthetic polymers with light scattering. Both presentations received high praise. Prese
