Hari is a very accomplished person. Today I enjoyed rereading some the posts he has made as an editor of this page. You can find some of them here:

In addition to contributing to this page and to intercultural understanding in Kumamoto, Hari has also conducted research on how matcha can relieve anxiety in mice:
