a link to our greeting by the Emperor and Empress of Japan

As i said in a previous post, we had the incredible honor of being greeted by their majesties, the Emperor and Empress of Japan.  The Emperor, Akihito, is a scholar of marine biology and especially fishes.  The royal couple are keen on encouraging scientific collaboration between Japan and other countries, and the venerable pair made their encouragement known to each of us fellows loud and clear.  Thank you for the message, Your Highnesses - i am honored to receive your message.  Here's the link to an article and photo from a fellow JSPS fellow:
