NSF Tokyo Office S&T Advisor to Receive NSF Distinguished Public Service AwardThe National Science Foundation (NSF) will honor a 41-year veteran of federal service with the agency's Distinguished Public Service Award for lifetime achievement. Masanobu Miyahara, a senior scientific affairs advisor for NSF's Tokyo Office, will be honored in a ceremony at NSF headquarters on Dec. 15. In nearly 37 years with NSF (all in its Tokyo office), Miyahara progressed from translator to scientific affairs specialist and key advisor to the director of the Tokyo office. He helped to develop and negotiate some of NSF's most important efforts in U.S./Japan relations in science and technology. Miyahara was instrumental in implementing the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program, various Japanese fellowship programs and summer graduate students programs. The last Distinguished Public Service Award by NSF was given posthumously to Carl Sagan in 1997. Miyahara's award will be the seventh given by NSF in this decade.
