Next time you admire a Christmas tree, think of physics laureates Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura who invented the blue light-emitting diode (LED) and made white energy-efficient fairy lights possible.

Thank you so much for the huge flattary Marco😆!!
I/we are so happy to hear you enjoyed our lab and our city🗼 We would love to welcome you back anytime. Come and visit again soon — although it might be easier for both of us to catch up in another fantastic city🇸🇬
Goodbye Tokyo! 🫂
I love the Sato lab!! @SystemsVirology
The lab has a great vibe, full of bright scientists. Located on a really nice cosy campus in the heart of Tokyo. This is a great city to live in!! You all should consider doing part of your career with Kei.
