While engaged in science communication related to earth science at the Geological Survey of Japan, I became convinced that if we could communicate our research to society in an easy-to-understand manner, not only would more people empathize with our research, but also our research results would be more widely used in society. I thought it would be wonderful if Kyoto University's wonderful results could be communicated to society more widely than they are now, and if those wonderful results could be utilized more widely in society, so I applied for the URA of Kyoto University.
