Bio

Born in suburbia Tokyo, moved to Adelaide, Australia at the age of 12. Having studied in Vancouver, Canada, and worked in Tokyo, I am back in Adelaide for the second time. I am an IT security specialist (a hard-to-explain occupation: I usually say "we try to fight the bad hackers" when asked about my job). Father of two boys. I enjoy running, cycling, playing tennis, and learning to play the violin... and also watching TED and translating subtitles into Japanese!

An idea worth spreading

Cognitive science and psychology should be part of the compulsory national curriculum in upper primary and early high school. Knowing your brain based on the latest findings in cognitive science will surely help young people to learn more effectively, become more compassionate, handle difficult situations more gracefully, and overall contribute towards their happiness! Hopefully an idea that has already been explored and pursued...
