Inclusive science communication

With a PhD in Molecular Biology and working experiences across countries/cultures, Akira Ohkubo’s role as a Science Communicator at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, has allowed him to take the initiative in building relations with diverse minority communities, including the deaf, the blind and the neurodiverse, and creating inclusive museum contents by collaborating with them, scientists, and more. He is also dedicated to reaching out to international peers and developing opportunities for collaborative work with them. All this fits his professional mission—making a museum (or any public space) open and meaningful to everyone.
