Went to Hyytiälä for a Developmental biology meeting this Fri-Sat and was lucky to meet my former colleague Shinya.
And he had some exiting news to share – not only is he a Drosophila (fruit fly) expert, now he’s also a professional Mölkky player!
He and some friends from Japan have formed a Japanese mölkky team and are now trying to bring this very Finnish game to Japan.
Here’s a video from when they participated in a tournament in Slovakia.
The world championship of mölkky is played in Lahti every year, and the best thing is that anyone can participate. Just get a group of 4-6 people together and start practicing!
