    伊藤隆敏教授記念講演会 第1回「人間の血を吸う都市型の蚊」その起源は古代エジプトに 進化の定説を覆す国際研究、蚊が媒介する凶悪な感染症の撲滅に向けた重要な一歩

    9:00PM-10:00PM ETOnline

    Friends of UTokyo is pleased to present an online lecture/dialogue by Dr. Yuki Haba, an award-winning evolutionary biologist and currently a Leon Levy Scholar in Neuroscience at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute. Dr. Haba has already received numerous professional awards, despite completing his PhD only recently, in 2023.

    This is the inaugural talk in a new lecture series created in memory of Professor Takatoshi Ito, a prominent international political scientist formerly at School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University. (https://www.friendsofutokyo.org/ja/伊藤隆敏元futi理事を悼む/) The series aims to highlight promising early-stage professionals and provide opportunities for younger generations of FUTI alumni to learn from their work, perspectives, and career experiences. It also seeks to encourage spirited dialogue, and help foster a supportive professional network. We expect the lecture/dialogue to be held annually, either in person or online.

    Dr. Iwao Ojima, president of FUTI and University Distinguished Professor, Stony Brook University – State University of New York, will give an opening remark. Following Dr. Haba’s talk, there will be ample time for Q&A.

    Dr. Haba’s talk will be based on his article recently published in Science. It has been reported widely in major media including Nikkei and CNN.

    東大友の会オンライン・ダイアログ・シリーズ： 「Covid 19の経験から学ぶこと：ニューヨークと東京」

    8:00 pm - 9:30 pm ETオンライン

    Friends of UTokyo (FUTI) is pleased to present an online dialogue between Prof. Peter J. Macotullio (Director, Institute for Sustainable Cities at Hunter College; UTokyo professor, 2001-2006) and Dr. Geeta Mehta (Adjunct Professor, Architecture and Urban Design, Columbia University; UTokyo, PhD). Together they have several decades of experience about global cities in America, Asia, Africa and Europe.

    This is the inaugural talk in a series created to bring together UTokyo international alumni in the US and others interested in FUTI’s work.

    ABSTRACT

    Covid19 infection and death rates have been very different in New York and Tokyo, the two mega-cities with among the highest densities in the world. While the two cities are not lacking in financial capital, could social capital be the reason for such different outcomes? The speakers will present their research and analysis of the possible answers to this and show how social capital is the essential wealth of communities in not only preparing for future health or climate shocks, but also in addressing the ongoing issues of social inequity and social justice.

    July 29, 2020, Wednesday, 8pm-9.30pm (EDST-USA)
