本月底，国际生物论坛和日本生物博览会在东京召开，重点介绍亚洲学术、工业和商业领域的研究、技术和生物制药趋势。对于日本来说，科学通常被视为促进经济增长的手段，国家一直致力于支持科学发现的商业应用。不幸的是，基础科学——专注于解释事物如何运作以及为何运作的发现——已经退居二线。然而，正是这种好奇心驱动的研究带来了概念上的新颖发现和创新。在过去的十年里，年轻的日本生命科学研究者很难追求这一重要的科学类型。这个关键问题的解决方案可能会通过回顾历史来解决，在那个时代，日本科学家知道如何欣赏自然并让这种快乐激发他们的工作。
At the end of this month, the international bio forum and bio expo Japan convenes in Tokyo, highlighting research, technologies, and biopharma trends from academic, industrial, and business sectors across Asia. For Japan, science is generally regarded as a means for boosting economic growth, and the nation has concentrated on supporting scientific discoveries for commercial applications. Basic science—which focuses on discoveries that explain how and why things work—has taken an unfortunate back seat. Yet, it is such curiosity-driven research that brings about conceptually novel discoveries and innovation. In the past decade, it has been difficult for young Japanese investigators in the life sciences to pursue this important type of science. Solutions to this critical problem may come by looking back in history, to a time when Japanese scientists knew how to appreciate nature and let that joy inspire their work.
