In 2025, the big news that excited the Japanese scientific community was the double Nobel Prize wins by two Japanese researchers: Shimon Sakaguchi of Osaka University and Susumu Kitagawa of Kyoto University. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Japan has produced 21 Nobel Prize winners in the natural sciences, boasting one of the world's top achievements. Behind this positive news, the "end of Japan as a scientific superpower" emerged. Japan's scientific research capabilities were in dire straits. [Kyoto University Executive Director Susumu Kitagawa] "We don't have an environment that allows for ferocious research. I believe Japan is a country that can do that." "News Runner" interviewed Susumu Kitagawa, Executive Director of Kyoto University. Regarding the reality that young researchers are overwhelmed with miscellaneous tasks and have less time to devote to research, he pointed out that "it's difficult to conduct research that will become the foundation of academic knowledge." ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ Kantele's "News Runner" airs December 26, 2025. *Due to copyright restrictions, some content may differ from the terrestrial broadcast. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ▣ The latest episodes of "News Runner" are streaming continuously on TVer!
