8 Nobel laureate urges less meat consumption
obel laureate encourages more vegetarian meals to save the planet. On the first anniversary of the Meat Free Mondays campaign in Formosa (Taiwan), Chemistry Nobel laureate Dr. Lee Yuan-tseh further urged for consumption of less meat and more vegetables, as well as living more simply. During a video presentation, he cautioned that if we continue on the current path of rising greenhouse gases, the human race could vanish within 100 years. Dr. Lee, who is also former president of Formosa's most prestigious research institute, Academia Sinica, said: "The fewer meat consumers there are, the better humans' chances of survival on the planet."
Thank you, Dr. Lee Yuan-tseh, for your concern about the welfare of humanity. May we all heed such expert recommendations and quickly turn to the veg lifestyle for optimal personal and planetary health.

Dynamics of Chemical Reactions and Photochemical Processes
Every macroscopic chemical transformation, whether it is atmospheric ozone depletion or the burning of a candle, consists of millions of microscopic chemical events which involve collisions between molecules. It has been the dream of scientists
for a long time to observe and understand the details of molecular collisions which transform reactant molecules into product molecules with our naked eyes. During the last several decades, because of the advances in crossed molecular beams method and laser technology, especially, from the measurements of product angular and velocity distributions, it has become possible to "visualize" exact details of how chemical reactions take place through molecular collisions or through photochemical processes.
In this presentation, in addition to illustrate experimental details of molecular beams method, my personal experiences of engaging in the field of chemical dynamics during the last forty years will be included.
Science, Technology and Sustainable Development of Human Society
During the long history of mankind, the planet of earth used to be an infinitely large place. But after the industrial revolution and especially during the twentieth century things have changed dramatically. World population increased from 1.5 billion to 6 billion and the earth has shrunk in relative terms. This sudden transition from "unlimited earth" to "limited earth" has extremely significant consequences, yet the development of human society, moving along the track of infinity for a long time, has not seemed to be able to adapt to the new reality that the earth is "limited."
On the "limited earth," perhaps the most important challenges for scientists are problems related to the use of energy and the impact on our living environment. The "developed" countries' patterns of growth obviously are not the ideal models for "not yet overdeveloped" countries to emulate. We need to find a new, sustainable way of development for entire human society on earth, paying special attention to harmonizing the relationship between humankind and nature.
We should all recognize the fact that the increasingly interconnected world cannot be a safe place if a large portion of its population still suffers from poverty, diseases, illiteracy, unemployment, and other barriers to survival. Scientists can play key roles in finding the solutions to these problems. Especially, if we learn to solve problems together, learn to share knowledge, new technological options and the limited resources available, learn to respect and understand different cultural heritages, then it will be possible to realize the establishment of a genuine global village that enables sustainable development for all.
This is the first time in human history that all human beings on earth have been faced with learning to work together and live together as one family in a global village. Our future depends entirely on how effectively the entire world would function as a community. This is a necessary awakening -- vital for the survival and sustainable development of mankind.

Academia Sinica, the most preeminent academic institution in the Republic of China, was founded in 1928 to promote and undertake scholarly research in sciences and humanities. After the government moved to Taiwan in 1949, Academia Sinica was re-established in Taipei. The growth of Academia Sinica during the transition period was initially slow due to political instability and meager budgets.
Thanks to the great efforts of the past Presidents, especially former President Yuan-Tseh Lee, Academia Sinica overcame many difficulties to reach its present success. It is now a modern research institution with a worldwide reputation and a proud tradition. Under the leadership of current President Chi-Huey Wong, Academia Sinica is making further progress in improving research conditions and results. Many of the twenty-four research institutes and seven research centers are now headed by world-renowned scholars and staffed by highly trained, motivated, and creative young investigators. Major strides have also been made toward raising the standards of academic research, and Academia Sinica is presently positioning itself to move its research activities to the international level. Aside from placing greater emphasis on opening up new areas of intellectual endeavor, Academia Sinica is also taking a leadership role in launching new initiatives in applied areas to meet a broad spectrum of social needs in Taiwan.
In order to fulfill these goals, Academia Sinica has adopted various measures to promote the internal integration of research activities in the three research disciplines of mathematics and physical sciences, life sciences, and humanities and social sciences; to improve the planning, implementation, and evaluation of long-term projects in order to enhance the impact of the research activities; to harness basic research results for applications and technology transfer; to engage the entire academic and research community in Taiwan in a modern and forward-looking collective academic vision; to cultivate an intellectual environment that is conducive to the nurturing of young scholars and the recognition of outstanding scholarship in Taiwan; and to promote international cooperation and scholarly exchanges that will accelerate the overall development of academic research in Academia Sinica and the Republic of China.
