What's new

Photo Album page updated.

We are very pleased to announce the 5th International Tunicate Meeting, which will be held on 21st (Sunday) – 25th (Thursday), June 2009, at the hall of the Okinawa Industrial Supporting Center in Naha-city, Okinawa, Japan. Okinawa is a subtropical island, southwest of the main island of Japan, and you can access here easily by about 2-hrs flight from Tokyo or Osaka. Research of tunicate biology has become deeper and wider during the last several years. So, it is a good opportunity for everyone to come to Okinawa to discuss his or her research progress. Many beautiful corals surround Okinawa so that you may be relaxed for several days to refresh your head and body. We are looking forward to seeing you in Okinawa soon.
