The students, who hailed from various universities, worked alongside researchers at the National Institute of Genetics in Mishima, the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules at Nagoya University and the National Institute of Basic Biology in Okazaki this summer. Among the students, who worked in pairs at each lab, was 麻豆传媒在线 alumnus Paolo Turano 鈥�21.

鈥淚t was a great learning experience,鈥� says Turano, now a doctoral student in the molecular biology, genetics and cancer program at Rutgers University. 鈥淚鈥檓 super thankful, to Dr. [Noriyoshi] Sakai, the lab, the program, my mentors鈥t was honestly an amazing experience, both culturally and scientifically.鈥�

Molina and Munakata fondly remember doing post-doctoral research in France and participating in an undergraduate study abroad experience in Kenya, respectively, and how it expanded their worlds, so they wanted to provide a similar opportunity to students, particularly those underrepresented in STEM fields. 鈥淲hy stay in one place in the world? We can do research anywhere,鈥� Molina says.

The professors were awarded a $300,000聽聽in 2020 to do just that. The program, which was postponed for one year due to the pandemic, provides international research experiences for students in Japan for three consecutive summers. The grant pays for all student travel and housing, as well as a $5,000 stipend. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really like an internship,鈥� explains Munakata, adding, 鈥淲e wanted to make sure that we gave opportunities to students who would not otherwise pursue these kinds of opportunities. We didn鈥檛 want to take away their opportunity to earn money during the summer.鈥�

Molina and Munakata are currently accepting applications for next summer鈥檚聽IRES: Summer Biology Research Program in Japan聽(NSF Project #1952513). The professors will again cast a wide net to recruit traditionally underrepresented students from women鈥檚 colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-Serving Institutions for the 鈥淯.S.-Japan study of novel genetic elements regulating seasonal behavior of medaka fish.鈥�

Director of International Academic Initiatives Tim White, whose team supports study abroad and other international academic projects, says that Molina and Munakata 鈥渄esigned an impressive summer experience, which enhances both research and intercultural skills for students.鈥� He encouraged students to apply, noting: 鈥淭his opportunity for research in Japan is absolutely fantastic for 麻豆传媒在线 students.鈥�

In February, the club is conducting a series of workshops on robotics innovation, which received grant support from the National Science Foundation as well as the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. A goal of these academic events is to attract more women and underrepresented minorities to the STEM field, Wang says. With students across all academic disciplines working in groups, it will be interesting to see what the future holds.

The Robotics Club is supported by the National Science Foundation under and .
