#06 [Dr. Hirokazu Yukawa's talk on PALEOBOTANY]
Sep. 25, 2020.
For this 6th Webinar, we had a guest speaker, Dr. Hirokazu Yukawa (Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum), who gave us an overview of plant fossils in one hour, and then talked about his research in detail. He talked a lot about the difficulty and interest of paleobotany and his research area, and there was an unexpected surprise at the end! I think it was interesting for a wide range of people.

Participation to the 3rd VR Dinosaur Symposium
Aug. 3rd, 2020.
In collaboration with the Dinosaur Technology Laboratory (Dinotech Lab), our core members, N. O. and S. N. shared a symposium in VR Dinosaur Museum ran by Dinotech Lab. Theme was "Jobs of Paleontology", and since it was a new type of VR talk that was completely different from the conventional talk style, the talk got heated and lasted for 3 hours, far longer than the scheduled time. In the conversation, I talked about my current position as a student (graduate student) and the situation of going to school. I think we were able to provide an opportunity for undergraduates and paleontology students who are not yet enrolled in a university to hear about the realities of paleontology, which they may not have had the opportunity to hear. In addition, I felt that we could increase the opportunities for young people to interact with each other by using remote contents such as VR, which we used this time.
