Experimental days
| Shun | "I did most of the experiments. Of course, I sometimes felt bored because experiments often didn't work well due to unexpected reasons.But overall it was very fresh and fantastic experience for me." |
|---|---|
| Shingo | "You are happy. Whenever I conducted experiments, they didn't work well :<" |
| Shun | "That must be a coincidence." |
| Shingo | "Thanks. It was very nice experience any way! " |
| Hayato | "Why are uploaded pictures of mine always experimental scene :( ? " |
|---|---|
| Yuito | "Although you don't like experiments:D " |
| Hayato | "That's no the case!" |
Domestic meeting
All the Japanese teams gathered at the University of Tokyo and have a domestic competition. Hopefully our project got high score and ranked second among seven teams. After the competition, we had a dinner party. It was fun and it was a good opportunity to interact with other team members. We're looking forward to meeting them again at Harvard University!
Interacting with laboratory members
It was September 27th, when the other members were absent. I was invited to lunch, and had a lunch with laboratory members. It was quite interesting because though I was in Tokyo, Japanese was only me, and the other five members were all French! They spoke in French and sometimes in English and rarely in Japanese. I enjoyed the situation a lot. (Shun Otsubo)
Dramatic success
It was truly a wonderful day because I got a clear picture of modified origami for the first time. At this section, I want to introduce you this event which I was really moved and a secret story behind the success.
Lodging together
We lodged at Hayato's house several times to do our work. In this picture, they are barbecuing. That was fun a lot. Well, we have to insist this:we gathered to do work, not to play.
The Last Hope
On the day two days before the deadline of this wiki page, we were in Mr.Matsubara's lab to do AFM experiment. We had tried to observe the pictures on the DNA tablet, but we hadn't succeeded at all. That day, we had some samples of tablet solution named "Last Hope", which we remade the day before. That was the last trial for us to get some good pictures to upload to wiki page.
right It was over eight o'clock P.M. Shun and Hayato was manipulating the AFM, but they were very tired. Mr.Matsubara, the supervisor, was falling asleep. Shingo was almost dead. We were all exhausted.
"But we still can and must try."
They continued observing, and finally got some pictures. But they were not clear. The mood was getting more and more negative. However, it was sure that they were different from the ones of plain origamis. There seems to be something on the tablet's surface.
"Look! This is 'I love DNA'!!"
"And this is Tablet Boy !!"
Although the pictures are not so clear, we surely got a good result. There WERE "I love DNA" and some shapes of Tablet Boy.
