[Part Ⅱ] Giving 120% — From Band Life to a Passion for Science The Journey of Kyoko Miura

2025/12/03
In the second part, we shift to Professor Miura’s personal journey—how she became immersed in research, the unexpected parallels between band life and science, her “give it 120% and if it doesn’t work, that’s okay” philosophy of challenge, and her candid messages for young researchers. Through her stories, we explore both the joy of doing science and the value of taking on challenges, while getting a closer look at the personality and principles that shape Professor Miura as a scientist.
