2022 UTokyo 3MT – Yuzu Kobayashi - How water molecules split into hydrogen and oxygen
"Hello. I am a second-year doctoral student at the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences.
I am doing research motivated by the excitement of learning that everything in this world is made of atoms and molecules. Now, my dream is to unveil the mysteries of chemical reactions, which are phenomena of recombination of atoms and molecules.
To share some of the curiosity that science gives me, I participated in this competition. So, whether you know much about chemical reactions or not, or even if you don't know anything at all, I made this presentation for you to experience the world of chemical reactions. Please take a look!"
These videos are part of The University of Tokyo’s fourth Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition. Seventeen PhD students each introduce their research in under three minutes, in English, with just a single slide. UTokyo students, faculty and staff can log-in with their email address to cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award between Friday July 24th and 4pm on Friday June 8th 2022.

東京大学は2027年に創立150周年を迎えます。これまでの歴史や歩みを踏まえ、東京大学がこの先も変わらず目指す姿勢を表す“Challengers for Changes”というスローガンを掲げ、新たなブランドコミュニケーションを立ち上げました。この映像はステートメントを映像化したブランドムービーです。“Challengers for Changes”の2つの「C」と東京大学の銀杏のシンボルマークを組み合わせ、無限大の可能性を表す「C4Cロゴ」も制作しました。
複雑化する社会課題に直面し変革が求められる世界において、常識の枠にとらわれず変革に立ち向かっていく東京大学について、より多くの皆様に知っていただくために、これからさまざまなコミュニケーション活動を展開いたします。
[スローガン]
Challengers for Changes
[ステートメント]
東京大学の歴史とは、知が起点となった変革の集積である。
創設以来、科学技術・法・経済・社会文化などあらゆる分野の
基盤づくりに貢献し、次代へとつながる動きを生み出してきた。
そして現在、複雑にからみ合う社会課題を前に、未来への動きを
加速させている。
原動力となってきたのは、たゆまぬ探究の情熱と、
未知と向き合う勇気、そして常識を問い直す精神。
真に求められる変化とは、ただ新しさを追うものではない。
社会が抱える課題や、人類が探究すべき命題に対し、
持続的かつ本質的に応えるもの。あるべきを思い、問いを重ね、
検証をおろそかにせず、時代のあり方に対する深い対話を行うこと。
東京大学は、多様な声と視点に開かれた場として、
世界とつながり、未来をつくる力を育んでいく。
