Nakamura Keiko

Her career includes stints as manager at the Mitsubishi Kasei Institute of Life Sciences, lecturer at Waseda University, visiting professor at the University of Tokyo, and a lecturer at a graduate school affiliated with Osaka University.

Her many publications include A Scientist Is a Human Being (Iwanami Shinsho), Is Science OK Like This?
