I have a strong interest in Lepidoptera, and have been conducting research on the inheritance of memory in swallowtail butterflies since I was a first-year elementary school student. Moving forward, I hope to further develop my skills by gaining knowledge and experience in new fields, and meeting many new people. I want to deepen my research in areas such as epigenetics and heredity, and expand the scope of my activities to a global scale. Ultimately, my aspiration is to uncover the mechanisms behind the evolution of intelligence and to apply this knowledge to the field of medicine, creating a future where we can help both animals and human beings .
