目の前の結果が真実 Me no mae no kekka ga shinjitsu The result in front of you is the truth.
Shinya Yamanaka · 山中伸弥 (Yamanaka Shin'ya) · iPS-cell researcher and Nobel laureate
Asked about seeing experimental results without preconceptions, Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka urged researchers to take unexpected findings seriously—and repeat experiments to see whether they hold up.
目の前 (me no mae) means right before your eyes; 結果 (kekka) means result; 真実 (shinjitsu) means truth. Yamanaka pairs openness to an unexpected result with repeated experiments to check whether it holds up.
As September ends, revisit one surprising result from the month and check whether it holds up.
Curiosity asks what happened; careful checking asks whether it holds up.
Practice: 目の前の結果を、もう一度確かめよう。 Me no mae no kekka o, mō ichido tashikameyō. Let's check the result in front of us once more.
