Sarah Paine Episode 1: The War For India (Lecture & Interview)

First of three new lectures from Professor Paine, followed by my questions. This time: Mao v Khrushchev v Nehru v LBJ

Blossom by Ethan Su

The Yushan alpine rhododendrons are finally in bloom once again on Taiwan’s 3,000-metre-high Hehuan mountain. A solar flare from active region AR3664 reached Earth that evening, intensifying the airglow and adding an otherworldly touch to the sky. Together, these rare natural events created a breathtaking scene – vivid blooms glowing softly beneath a star-filled sky.

Chúc Tết Trung thu

The 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese lunisolar calendar marks the #MidAutumnFestival, when families from East Asia gather to enjoy gazing at the full moon 🌕. This year, it falls on September 17.

While the #MoonCake is a shared tradition among many East Asian cultures, others like barbecue and pomelo is unique to #Taiwan.

I always enjoy opportunities to learn from Audrey Tang - @au - her recent interview in the podcast #YourUndividedAttention is no exception. In "Future-proofing Democracy In the Age of AI with Audrey Tang" raises important questions about #AI & #Democracy. What do we need to do now to help prepare citizens for #DeepFakes. Important to hear about the role #Taiwan is playing in #ResponsibleAI.

2024 is an election year for almost half of the world's population.
