Japan-Hungary Twin Research Joint Seminar (Online, December 2020 - March 2021)

Dr. Adam Tarnoki and Dr. David Tarnoki of Semmelweis University, Hungary (who are also twins, founders of the Hungarian Twin Registry, and guest associate professors of the Twin Research Center) and Dr. Takahashi, Vice Director of the Center for Twin Research, Osaka University, delivered in cooperation a seminar video titled "An Approach towards Twin Studies from the viewpoint of Radiology". In medicine, both diagnostic radiology and therapeutic radiology are of great importance, as it must deal with the entire body.
Initially, it was scheduled to be delivered until the end of January, but due to ongoing questions and lively discussions, the delivery period has been extended to the end of March. Questions and answers are posted on the Twin Research Center website as appropriate. This event is sponsored by the Center for International Academic Programs, Osaka Univ. Graduate School of Medicine.

'The Online Study Program for Inbound Students 2021' at Taipei Medical University (TMU) in Taiwan from 25th January to 5th February 2021

Due to the pandemic of the new corona virus (COVID-19), it was held online for the first time. Two undergraduates from Nursing registered the program and took lectures that they were interested in.
On opening remarks, one of our students introduced using slides, not only Osaka University but Osaka culture and the recent COVID-19 pandemic situation in Osaka.
A variety of themes were prepared for the lectures, including 'OSCE and Therapeutic Communication', 'Smart Critical Nursing Care, TED-ICU System & ADC, and 'Mental Health & Suicide', which they found especially very interesting.
During each QA session, they could learn views and culture of the other participants from various asian countries.

'Mental well-being in population health research: Some thoughts through my career lifecourse'

A special lecture was given by Dr Noriko Cable, a senior research fellow of International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health Dept, University College London (UCL).
Talking with reflection of her career lifecourse, she introduced and explained the current evidence in the UK, research approach and what we we should look into reserach.
Her continuous attitude to make uncertainties clear from a nurse perspective was very impressive.
