どういう内容の学会だったのですか?


〜 How was the conference which you attended? 〜
I attended the 19th Annual Meeting of Wound Healing Society with Symposium by SAWC 2009 at Dallas, Texas, USA. It was a large convention with a mixed population of wound healing researchers and wound care practitioners. The conference was well organized, very informative and interactive. I had the opportunity to present my own research findings at the poster session on 27-28th April and at the oral session on 29th April.

国際学会までの旅の印象やエピソードを教えてください。


〜 Please tell me about your impression of the conference and your trip including interesting episodes. 〜
Impression: I was highly impressed with the conference. The conference provided me with new insights to incorporate into my research area. I also gained by interacting and discussing with pioneers in my field of research.

Interesting epidsode: This conference reunited me with an old friend of mine. We were college classmates in India for five years, but lost contacts after graduation. Now, we meet in the USA after 15 years. Interestingly, both of us are working in the same research area. It does feel great to reunite with old friends, isn't it?

国際学会に参加した感想をお願いします。


〜 How would you like to put your experience this time to account? 〜
This was my first oversees travel to participate in an international conference. I made sure that I took full benefits of all that the conference could teach me, inspite of the jetlag fever. By the time I recovered from the jetlag, it was time to return and so, another bout of jetlag. Nevertheless, I had a very memorable experience.

〜 Could you tell me your remarks about this system to fund women researchers'participation to international congresses? 〜
I sincerely thank ATHENA for providing me the funding and opportunity to attend the international congress. It is a nice system that promotes active participation of women researchers in international conferences. It provides us (women researchers) with a chance to broaden our research mindset and vision, in addition to expanding our circle of contacts that will benefit our profession. I hope this system continues to support several researchers in the long run.
