On December 23, our laboratory hosted a year-end party. In addition to members of the Okayama University Astrophysics Laboratory (our laboratory), we were joined by MPA Director Komatsu and by colleagues from Okayama University of Science (the Yamauchi and Nagao groups). Bringing together members who normally work at different sites sparked natural conversations and new momentum for collaborations. Thank you to everyone who attended—we’ll continue to balance research, education, and outreach in the year ahead.
