Improving the communication between science and society"
Lucy Jones

4:15pm-4:20pm Introduction by
Hodaka Kawahata (President of JpGU)

4:20pm-5:00pm "Exploring the Universe with neutrinos, grabitational waves and gamma rays"
Takaaki Kajita

15:35-16:15

Natural disasters cause untold suffering around the world, cutting short lives and disrupting the function of society. The understanding of natural hazards derived from scientific investigations can and has been used to reduce the impacts of many natural hazards. Society needs science-based decision making now more than ever, as the vulnerability of society is being magnified through population growth in hazardous regions and by the fragility of increasingly complex cities. But we often see science ignored or misunderstood. The reasons for the miscommunication include the human refusal to believe in randomness and the need most people have for stories and emotional connections to being able to understand the implications of information. Further, decision makers often do not understand how their decisions have unintended consequences. This talk will explore what scientists and decision makers can do to improve the communication between science and society.

4:20pm-5:00pm

About 100 years ago, cosmic rays were discovered. This discovery suggested us that there are high-energy phenomena that cannot be studied by optical telescopes. Since then, various studies have been carried out to understand the high-energy and/or tangent phenomena in the Universe. In this talk, I will discuss the recent and near future progress in the observations of the Universe with neutrinos, gravitational waves and very high-energy gamma rays.
