Japanese young researchers are deeply regret the unit's decision to cut the budget for the postdoctoral fellowship. The unit said that the fellowship prevent young talented researchers from working in the private sector and that it is just a "safety net" or an employment measure, and so the budget must be cut. These are misunderstandings. This decision will damage the future of scientific research in Japan because talented students will avoid becoming scientists or go abroad.
