I visited Cellular Immunology
Laboratratory, INSERM 543 in Paris from July 27 to August
2, 2009. The objective was to discuss about the detailed
methology, schedule, and contribution for our joint research
project, "Influence of CD8+ T cell antigen sensitivity
on the selection of HIV-1 escape variants". |
| Actually, we had never
met with one another until my visit to Paris. Although we
had tried to discussed about those by e-mail, I have now
realized that talking face to face was sometimes very effective
for proceeding the project smoothly. E-mail itself, which
can be used and recorded anytime, might be convenient for
communicating with researchers oversees. By only e-mail,
however, we cannot see and/or feel facial expressions, gestures,
and mood with one another, from which we can get many things
for discussing efficiently and precisely. I know that my
stay in Paris was only for one week, but I beleive that
the discussions were very productive. |

Anyway, all laboratory
members were very friendly and kind, and I enjoyed this
discussion. In addition, everything was amazing for me in
Paris including food, arts, architectural structures, and
weather. |
Thank you.
