Dr Julie Bakker's Lecture: My Response -- Mayu Saito

 Whether creatures show male or female behavior may not depend only on its biological sex. It may also be influenced by hormones and by development before birth.

The lecture used diagrams and graphs, so it was easy to understand. However, some parts with many technical words were difficult for me to understand.

I thought that scientists and researchers help people live healthily both physically and mentally. By sharing research results with the public, misunderstandings and discrimination may be reduced.

I want to focus on the subjects I'm studying now, so I am not considering becoming a scientist or researcher.

ZOU Qingyang

  Hi everyone, this is ZOU Qingyang from Xiamen, a very beautiful coastal city in China. I graduated from the Business School of Fudan University in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree. After that, I worked in the Strategic Business Department of CMOC Group Limited, a leading global mining company, in Shanghai for more than three years until March 2025. Currently, I am a master’s student at the University of Tokyo, majoring in Human and Engineered Environmental Studies, where I analyze how to reduce accident rates in mining companies, taking into account the impact of artisanal miners and host countries. One of my biggest interests is traveling. In 2025, after resigning from CMOC and before starting my studies at the University of Tokyo, I used my savings to take my parents on a one-month trip to Europe. We drove through ten different countries, including Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Spain. Although we encountered many challenges along the way, it was truly an eye-opening exp...

Hi there! My name is Saho Ono . I’m a first-year student at Sophia University , and I’m 18 years old. However, I’m turning 19 on March 3rd, so I would be happy if you could celebrate it next week! It’s a bit embarrassing to say that by myself  😅 I was born in Osaka , but I lived in Tokyo for most of my life. My family consists of four people, mother, father, and younger sister who is a high school student. The reason why I joined this program in Dunedin is that I like studying languages. Actually, my major is French (language), but I started studying it last year, so I’m still a beginner. I would like to have more conversations in English during my stay here and make my English more natural and fluent. Moreover, I want to make friends with both international students and Japanese students ！ My hobby is watching sports, and especially love baseball ！ I have been a big fan of the Hanshin Tigers for more than 10 years. I watch baseball games almost every day, and I sometimes go to...
