Saho Moriwaki

National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, Science Communicator

After completing courses in education and museum studies at university and researching pharmaceuticals as a post-graduate, Saho Moriwaki found employment distributing cancer medications. These days, she facilitates discussions between researchers and the general public as a science communicator at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

Tokyo is a fascinating place to live—full of interesting, one-of-a-kind museums, and hidden green spaces. I really appreciate how modern invention mixes seamlessly with tradition.
