Documented publication number 255 is confirmed, my short essay "What Intelligence and Genius Actually Are." Besides the magazine subscribers, only a few hundred readers have accessed the free English and Japanese (和訳) versions online, so you might not have enjoyed it yet. Feedback or sharing is most welcome!

And ... academic life goes on: in the discipline of bilingual education, Google Scholar counted these as citation number 615 of mine, in the abstract and methods sections of a paper by University of Valencia authors: "Data were collected by means of a questionnaire adapted from McCarty (2012a; 2012b)." They cite "Bilingual (英和) series Understanding Bilingual Education": https://works.hcommons.org/records/1f5gw-4xq85

Bilingual schools celebrate diversity, promote language learning, and engage communities. Through immersive education and multicultural activities, they prepare students for success in a globalized world. #BilingualEducation #CulturalDiversity #HindLouali

Good news on open access to my works on bilingualism, the research area related to my teaching, child-raising, and using Japanese for over 40 years. I was interviewed by The Japan Times on #bilingual #education for a forthcoming paywalled article. It was a long interview, and usually a newspaper article uses only short passages from one individual. However, the #Japan Association for #Language #Teaching Bilingualism Special Interest Group (#JALT #Bilingualism SIG) would like to publish the full interview in its newsletter Bilingual Japan. Everyone should be able to read that as I back it up in research repositories. The tentative title is "English Education and Bilingual Education in Japan."

My publications on bilingualism have been backed up mostly at Academia Edu, which is not so easy to access anymore [any comment?], so I've added links to the original sources of articles, which are open access, at https://japanned.hcommons.org/bilingualism

The Japan Times just interviewed me toward an article on bilingual education. Whenever I think my work is done in a field, requests come along and I find I have still more I've wanted to express.

I've been invited to give an informal presentation at Kōnan University in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture next month. It will be my 100th different presentation topic. Many people have appreciated my photos and explanations, so I will show and tell briefly about 20 "Kyōto Temples, Shrines, and Festivals."

The [Uniqlo / Fast Retailing founder] Yanai Initiative, Waseda University, and UCLA have teamed up on a new Japan Past & Present site. My Profile in English with a focus on Japan is at https://japanpastandpresent.org/en/resources/japan-scholar-search/steve-mccarty and in Japanese (日本語版) at https://japanpastandpresent.org/jp/resources/japan-scholar-search/steve-in-japanese
One of the main functions is a Japan Scholar Search using keywords, at https://japanpastandpresent.org/en/resources/japan-scholar-search/search
