Fisheries and Marine Conservation— ❐ S1-4 #WhaleShark research and conservation
This webinar is organised by the Early Career Researchers (ECR) working group of Future Earth Taipei (Taiwan) for early career researchers to share their research outcomes in relation to sustainability and climate change.Gonzo is a marine scientist and conservationist. He has been working in marine megafauna research and conservation for 10 years.Originally from Argentina, Gonzo moved to the UK when he turned 18, and onwards to the Philippines when he was 26 where he worked full-time in marine conservation until the onset of the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic.In 2020 he founded Marine Research and Conservation Foundation through which he could channel his work and dedication for the marine environment. He works with a variety of different species, like turtles and rays, and with an extensive array of methods including telemetry, genetics and photo-ID.

Journey into the Mysteries of the Mind: Understanding Schizophrenia and How Patterns in the Brain Can Change
Do you know that our brain is one of the most complex things in the universe? It works like a supercomputer, composed of many parts that work harmoniously when we think or learn. However, mental illnesses are like certain parts of the brain following different rules, making it difficult for the brain to function normally. In this speech, we will introduce how scientists use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the complexity of the brain with schizophrenia. By understanding how the brain works, new treatment methods can be developed for mental illnesses, and help patients live healthier lives.In the second part of the speech, we will discuss news literacy related to mental illnesses. Mental illnesses, like colds and cancers, require treatment, and news reports may provide incorrect or incomplete information that can affect our views and understanding. In addition to understanding the illness and respecting patients, we should also correctly interpret news reports and know when to seek professional help, to create a more friendly and harmonious society.This event is suitable for third graders and above, as well as anyone interested in the brain. Let’s explore the mysterious world of the brain together!Date: June 10, 2023Time: 14:30-15:30Location: Training Room, 11F, Taipei Public Library (No. 125, Sec. 2, Jianguo S. Rd., Taipei City, Taiwan, R.O.C. 106210) -

“Science X Sustainability” train turned into classroom
The “Science X Sustainability” MRT painted train is a response from the National Science Council to commemorate the United Nations’ ‘International Year of Basic Science for Sustainable Development’ 2022-2023.
The “Science X Sustainability” MRT painted train ran in Taichung MRT from 19th to April 21st, 2023. The painted train is a response from the National Science Council to respond to the United Nations International Year of Basic Science for Sustainable Development.
The car is transformed into a science classroom, so that passengers are exposed to knowledge about nature, the environment, and carbon footprint during the ride. Zhongjie company said that the public is welcome to take a ride on the Green Train and integrate the concept of “science x sustainability” into their lives.
Science X Sustainability” project
Zhongjie Company stated that the “Science X Sustainability” project team used the painted train to let the public feel the interaction and dialogue with science and the environment, hoping to enhance the public’s attention to basic science and care about environmental issues around life.
During the operation of the painted train, the National Science Council also launched cute O2 Line stickers, interactive activities such as point collection and lottery draws, etc., through simple game questions and answers, to induce the awareness of science and sustainability, and then take practical actions to protect the environment , to achieve the goal of “taking root in science and sustaining Taiwan”.
