Inspiration & Excitement in Science: Welcome to the University Lab! KAKENHI: "Exploring 'Life' Through Cattle: Let's Take a Close Look from Cells to Whole Organisms!"
Date:
Faculty of Agriculture and Marine Science will host "Inspiration & Excitement in Science: Welcome to the University Lab"—a KAKENHI-funded event titled "Exploring 'Life' Through Cattle: Let's Take a Close Look from Cells to Whole Organisms!"
The purpose of this project is to disseminate and apply to society the research findings obtained through the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research program (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science).
Have you ever taken the time to observe a cow closely? While these days our interactions with cows are limited to the “meat” found on supermarket shelves, this program focuses on the Tosa Akaushi—a rare breed of Japanese beef cattle unique to Kochi Prefecture. We invite you to experience cutting-edge research related to the preservation and expansion of this breed, while also gaining firsthand insight into the entire process of livestock—from birth to consumption—through visits to actual cattle farms. We hope this experience will encourage you to reflect on the meaning of “life.”(Upon completion, participants will be awarded a “Future Doctorate” from Kochi University and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.)
