Kid: “Ms. Shibata? Did you go to Japanese school?”

Me: “Sure did. Every Saturday morning when I was a little girl.”

Kid: “Did they learn you Arabic there?”

Me: “Nope. Just Japanese.”

Kid: “Oh… I’m sorry. I’ll teach you, then.”

10yo saw an ad for a water bottle with a scent pod and went down this rabbit hole of researching how our sense of smell connects to our sense of taste, then designed and executed a series of experiments involving smell and taste. #ScienceAtHome #KidsAreAwesome

Today 10yo presented me with a “rainbow confetti-filled rainbow surprise bag” that she had crafted while I was at an appointment.

Just because.

"How has being a mum impacted your research career?"

Well, my notes have gotten a hell of a lot cooler 😂

I was working on music theory with one of my 8 year old piano students.
My explanation at the top - her composition at the bottom.
Pretty impressed because I didn't learn this until freshman music theory in college. #musictheory #pianolessons #kidsareawesome

I know it's only been one day but I love my new job. It's everything I love about what I do and so far none of the stuff I hate.
