The very first episode. “Yama-san,” a PhD student in biology, introduces himself and talks about what he wants to cover on this show, Yama-san no Labo Keikaku.
In this episode
- Who is Yama-san? A self-introduction as a graduate student pursuing research in a biology PhD program.
- Why I started this show — a desire to share what makes research exciting, and what graduate school is really like, with people outside the field.
- Topics I want to cover — research itself, the behind-the-scenes of academia such as papers, conferences, and funding, and the things I think about day to day.
The meaning behind the title “Labo Keikaku”
Yama-san’s long-term dream is to one day build a large research institute in Japan. This show will document each step toward that big goal. The “Labo Keikaku” (lab plan) in the title is something like a blueprint for that future.
Who this is for
- Anyone curious about researchers and the world of academia
- Anyone considering graduate school or a PhD
- Anyone who wants a glimpse into how someone deep in research actually thinks
