Science Communication / Outreach Activities

I'm a co-founder of the Tenpla Project, which is an organization for popularization of astronomy under cooperation between students and museum staffs. The project webpages are written in Japanese, but we have an English page for our representative product, ATP (Astronomical Toilet Paper). Please check it!

An article on the ATP appeared in the Science Magazine, 10 March 2006 issue.

Our activities are presented in IAU General Assembly Special Session held in Prague.
