Hi, I'm Shoko Miutani. I am a B4 student and interested in the relationship between nutrition and its impacts on the body. Two of my hobbies are playing the flute and running. So, please talk to me if you have similar hobbies. If not, please speak without any hesitation, of course:D

Look at the 16th ISS poster! Yoshitsuna and I designed it together with the imagination that Science is active and lively like bursting bubbles and a colorful splash.

We are making the 16th ISS marverous with all the ISS members. Please join the 16th ISS if it is convenient for you.
