From August 11 to 16, 2024, we attended the International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-20) in Toronto. Designated associate professor Akiko Yagi from our Organic chemistry laboratory delivered an invited lecture, while Mr. Hideya Kono (D3), Mr. Tomoki Kato (D2), Mr. Daiki Imoto (D1), and Ms. Miyuka Ogawa (M2) presented posters. The symposium provided an excellent opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and connect with brilliant colleagues, making it a truly enriching experience.
