新冠疫情下的網路犯罪型態
March 13 (Saturday) at 10:00 AM by Dr. Edward Huang 黃建中教授, George Mason University
Dr. Edward Huang’s research focuses on supply chain analysis, and he has participated in projects funded by NSF, AFOSR, IARPA, CICMHE, and POSTECH. Dr. Huang will focus on the operations of illicit actors in the cyberworld, in both the open web and dark web, and the supply chains and payment systems for online drug sales, counterfeit pharmaceuticals, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These illicit supply chains of vital medical products pose an unprecedented risk to public health (and security). 黃建中教授任教於George Mason 大學，並與不同美國聯邦組織如國家科學基金會、空軍科學研究室等機構合作從事各類數據分析的研究。黃教授將在這個專題座談中，運用數據分析指出新冠疫情中假藥、劣質醫療產品與疫苗等如何充斥線上銷售市場，並危及公衛安全。
The Promotion and Preservation of Chinese Language Heritage: Experience from Homeschooling, Facebook, to Chinese Debate International
推廣中文的承 傳:從臉書到國際網絡辯論課的里程
講者: Dr. Oliver Tu 杜立崑醫師 時間: February 27 (Saturday) at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time, US and Canada)
The preservation of a minority language heritage in an anglophone society is full of difficulties, particularly for a language, such as Chinese, which is three to four times as difficult to learn for English speakers compared to other Germanic or Romance languages. Dr. Tu will share his family’s journey in homeschooling their two teenage daughters’ Chinese, the online promotion of similar effort to other families around the country, and the establishment of online Chinese debate classes to aid in such effort in the era of COVID-19. 學習中文的困難程度是學習德文等歐系語言的三、四倍以上。杜立崑醫師在臉書與部落格上向全美各地分享推廣他與孩子在家學習中文的經驗，最終創辦了「國際中文辯論課」網站，提供網路中文朗誦與辯論課程，在疫情中繼續推動中文學習。

“Promotion and Preservation of Chinese Language Heritage: Experiences from Homeschooling, Facebook, to Chinese Debate International,” by Dr. Oliver Tu, Feb 27, 2021
Dr. Oliver Tu is a physician who emigrated from Taiwan at 11 years of age and finally to the US for college, but he establishes an online platform to help many second- or third-generation Taiwanese students and Americans to learn and apply the Chinese language in real life. The preservation of a minority language heritage in an anglophone society is full of difficulties, particularly for a language, such as Chinese, which is three to four times as difficult to learn for English speakers compared to other Germanic or Romance languages. He will share his family’s journey in homeschooling their two teenage daughters’ Chinese, the online promotion of similar effort to other families around the country, and the establishment of online Chinese debate classes to aid in such effort in the era of COVID-19. As the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the United States has launched “The U.S.-Taiwan Education Initiative” in December 2020, this event is particularly meaningful to both countries. Dr. Tu will share his teaching philosophy in this webinar to help Chinese language learning. You can find Dr. Du’s blog and Chinese course information at Raising Bilingual and Bliterate Children in Chinese and English and Chinese Debate International.
