April 4th

Because April 6th was the first day of the long weekend, I went to my internship on Wednesday on April 4th.

Since my professor and other grads student had conference at the other building, I was working in my professor's office by myself.

I kept researching about the relationship between asthma and earthquake, but it is hard to find credible source to actually present in front of many people. What I found was all from some regular housewives or other not academically incredible people.

March 30th

I went to the internship and there were three other grads students again with my professor!

We shared some questions that we were working on and also came up some other questions that we will consider in the future.

Recently, since there are always some grads student, I do not work over there; we mostly share our new informations and questions and I listen many interesting facts that grads student found.

By sharing our thoughts and new information for each projects, I realize that Japan is not as polluted as other part of the world so that it doesn't have any big problem that I can find easily.

For example, in Terrain, the air environment is so bad that we cannot see 10m away from us, which lead heavy, awful asthma symptoms; this fact makes the terrain interesting to research and allows us to find many information.
In actuality, I often struggle finding interesting fact about asthma in Japan.

Hopefully, by May, I can have decent amount of interesting facts to present for symposium.

Currently, I took the question that Peggie pointed out before about the relationship between asthma and earthquake in Japan and research on it.
It seems that there is a connection between asthma and earthquake because shaking the building causes spreading the dust from the houses.
