 On October 20–23, 2025, Jomel attended the Japan PhD Student Meeting in Evolutionary Biology held at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). The event brought together PhD students in evolutionary biology from across Japan for four days of presentations, discussions, and community building. Research presentations were held on the second and third days, where Jomel also joined the poster session to share his ongoing work. Beyond the academic program, the group explored one of the world’s largest aquariums, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, an experience that added a fun and memorable highlight to the trip. The conference provided not only academic learnings but also opportunities to form meaningful connections, friendships, and collaborations. These experiences, combined with the knowledge gained, will help strengthen our future contributions to evolutionary biology.

Professor Kozo Watanabe paid a courtesy visit to President Evaristo A. Abella, Vice-President for Academic Affairs Ravelina R. Velasco, Vice-President for Research and Extension Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz, and Dean of the College of Fisheries Hazel Monica Peralta at Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in the Philippines on November 5–7, 2025. During the visit, the parties reaffirmed their commitment to advancing preparations for the Ehime University (EU) –CLSU International Collaborative Research Lab (EU-CLSU ICRL), slated to be established in 2026. The agenda included site visits to prepare facilities, the promotion of joint research, and the fostering of academic exchange. The visit was arranged by Professor Khristina Judan Cruz—formerly a postdoctoral researcher at the MECOH Lab—who holds a cross-appointment at both universities. Professor Watanabe received a very warm and generous welcome. |
