I was able to visit the Marie Curie Museum in Paris. This has proved to be very useful for my research. There was a lot of information about her life and her research. There was also a lot of information about radium, its effect and uses during her time. In addition, the shop at the museum had so many books and DVDs that are so interesting. I have been able to buy many precious books in English and in French. A lot of these books were for specialists or the general public, but there was a surprising number of books for children. This is a very interesting lead to follow.In addition, thanks to the budget I received, I could organize an online conference with two foreign artists/researchers titled "ATOM + ART: Representing Irradiated Polynesia and the Navajo Nation / 被爆の表象：ポリネシアとナバホネイション". The conference had live translation from Tokyo in English and Japanese. The speakers were online, and the audience could also attend in-person. This required a lot of organization, and a great part of my budget, but the feedback I receive was very very encouraging. It was beneficial for my students, but many foreign or national scholars and artists also joined online. Even after the event, many scholars reach out to be able to watch the recordings of the talks.
