Our review paper was out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. This must be the first TiCS paper which highlights Men's Shed (and Community Shed) (Box 2). Men's Shed is now attracting attention of cognitive scientists in the world.

Today, I visited Shin-shiro men’s shed since 2023 in Aichi prefecture. This shed is supported by local NPO and independent from JST-RISTEX project but the atmosphere was totally the same! Shed movement in Japan is gradually expanded!
