Prof. KASWAKUBO of Chuo Gakuin University initially proposed AIRA to hold a lecture.  The theme would be “war and peace” reflecting the current situation in Ukraine, which would be very timely, because 16 months have past since Russian invasion of Ukraine started.  AIRA decided to hold the lecture with Dr. KAWAKUBO’s laboratory jointly.  AIRA considered that thinking about peace was closely related to both “Abiko City’s peace promotion project” and the best timing of thinking about peace.  (No. 23-7)
