Alongside conducting research work, Professor Osumi works as head of PR in Tohoku University\u2019s PR team and the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, making her someone who can lend strength to Tohoku University\u2019s PR from a scientist\u2019s perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #212529;\">Professor Osumi won us over with her charm as we discussed scientific communication from the perspective of the scientist as well as the value and meaning behind research communications.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The objective behind having an in-house research communications team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It appears to me that in the past, when pamphlets or other materials were prepared for university PR as mandated by the general affairs department, it was never done with the aim of making the university appealing to its stakeholders. They would merely be budgeted, the number of \u00a0copies decided, and the rest outsourced. As a result, the the various finished products are all over the place and don\u2019t seem connected. This makes them ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, having an in-house communications team addresses this problem for a university. When you do it yourself instead of using a third party, you can think about how to go out and sell the value of what you are doing. There is a lot of merit in having people within the organization working on communications instead of leaving it all up to a PR company. Investing in PR personnel has allowed the PR of the head office at Tohoku University to develop by leaps and bounds over the last five years.<\/p>\n<p>The global communications team in the head office employs two full-time members who are fluent in English and two Japanese nationals who are proficient in the language. These four members liaise with staff from the university head office through a system set up over three to four years after the earthquake. In my opinion, the global communications section of Tohoku University\u2019s website stands head and shoulders above those of other Japanese national universities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientists as pets and scientific communication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the context of scientific communication, I am an advocate of the \u201cscientist as pets\u201d<br \/>\ntheory. By that, I mean scientists basically have a pet-like value to the public. I want them to see scientists as adorable, approachable creatures.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t necessarily stop researchers from hiding away in their laboratories, but I do think we need people who understand the importance of being involved in society. In some industries\u2014like sports and art\u2014everyone involved forms a community. In the scientific world, on the other hand, the impression you get is of a handful of scientists working in isolation on whatever they want. It\u2019s no longer like in the past when scientists had a lot of money to do their research. Today, they use taxpayers\u2019 money, and that\u2019s why it seems important to me to think about how we can make them endearing to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I worked on the third and fourth MEXT Basic Plans for Science and Technology, I have been arguing from the perspective of the researcher when it comes to the importance of scientific communication. Closer to home, I served as the first head of PR after Executive Director Yamamoto asked for a PR department to be created in the School of Medicine, and this allowed me to strengthen the talent pool working on university PR. Back then, the team comprised scientific communication experts, those responsible for the website, designers, and others. They now work in the PR strategy team for the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization. I believe my job is to convey the importance of PR from the perspective of the researcher.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning about the difficulty of scientific communication when I was young<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was the sort of child who liked to spend his summer holidays working on illustrated diaries or the class newspaper, so I think, at heart, I always had a journalistic approach. Another factor is that my father was a whale researcher.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial whale hunting has been banned for decades, but the reason the US came to Japan in their black boats in the first place was to load up on supplies at a whale hunting base. When Japan bashing was popular, it became the most convenient way to attack Japan. My father would always participate in global conferences on whale hunting on behalf of scientists, making empirical arguments over many years that the population of whales could be sustained by controlled whaling. But it didn\u2019t matter how scientifically strong the argument was, because public opinion was manipulated by politics. That image of my father battling remained with me throughout childhood. I think my interest in scientific communication also stems from seeing my father like that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pros and cons of research communication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The emphasis on research communication has pros and cons. I think one of the problems is that, in some quarters, research is becoming commercial. The , for example, showed that not only there was a problem with the science of the study but the research was marred by commercialization.<\/p>\n<p>I think the effort put in by the research institution into the press conferences held about the STAP research was rare, even within the research industry. If no irregularities had been found and the research had continued, I think there really should have been some developments in the PR for the study. For example, why were Moomin seals stuck on the fridge in the laboratory? Because that year was the 100-year anniversary of <em>The Moomins<\/em>. That seems like a well-honed PR strategy. The strategy they developed got a popular actress to appear in women\u2019s weeklies and other media that have nothing to do with the research industry. It was absolutely incredible.<\/p>\n<p>I think we need to be concerned about how we should respond to these emerging aspects of commercialism in view of the future of research communications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The future of Tohoku University and Japanese research communication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stakeholders of university PR can be divided into three categories. The chief mission of a research university is to engage in pioneering research, so the key players \u00a0are the researchers and the funding agencies, the next generation of students, and the public.<\/p>\n<p>Tohoku University now does PR that takes the public into account. Their Science Caf\u00e9 series has been held maybe more than 100 times, and it looks like a grand piano is going to be set up in the hospital mall of Tohoku University Hospital, with monthly concerts for the public. The global communications team is currently looking out for interesting research happening at the university. It plans on writing up press releases and the like to catch the attention of the media. I think they are seeing steady results in the form of media coverage and research findings being used practically .<\/p>\n<p>When you look at what is happening in PR overseas, however, you get the feeling that there is still much to do. For example, Tohoku University is tilted toward the sciences, where 90% of students and staff are working in the sciences, but there still aren\u2019t many members of staff in the university PR department who understand science and can articulate it. Compared with the situation overseas, it\u2019s still rare for universities in Japan to hire professional science writers for their outbound science PR. In my opinion, it would be a step forward for research communications to find more people like this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2516\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=582%2C327&amp;ssl=1 582w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=377%2C213&amp;ssl=1 377w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=278%2C156&amp;ssl=1 278w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=361%2C203&amp;ssl=1 361w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?resize=783%2C440&amp;ssl=1 783w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blankaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/oosumi-noriko-2.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<fieldset style=\"background: #73b78e; padding: 10px; border: none;\"><strong>Noriko OSUMI<\/strong><br \/>\nProfessor at Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine (developmental neuroscience) and Head of PR &amp; Planning at Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization.<\/p>\n<p>Graduated from Tokyo Medical and Dentistry University with a master\u2019s in Dentistry.
