*【官員建議，在大多數地方接種疫苗的美國人可以不戴口罩】
聯邦衛生官員建議，已接受冠狀病毒疫苗施打的民眾，在大多數情況下，可以不用戴口罩或保持社交距離，這是迄今最明顯的跡象，表明該流行病在美國已接近尾聲。

*【多數的流行病學專家認為在公共場所戴口罩至少要維持一年】
當聯邦衛生官員表示，完全接種疫苗的美國人在大多數的地方不再需要戴口罩時，令許多公共衛生人員感到驚訝。這與《紐約時報》過去兩週對大多數流行病學家的看法形成了鮮明的對比。在非正式調查中，有80％的人表示，他們認為美國人，至少需要在公共室內場所戴口罩至少一年，只有5％的人表示，到今年夏天，人們將不再需要在室內戴口罩。在戶外的大群人群中，例如在音樂會或集會抗議活動中，88％的流行病學家表示，即使是完全接種疫苗的人也必須戴口罩。

【轉錄】林奇宏校長的公開信

各位親愛的陽明交大人，

近一個多月以來，我在行政團隊協助安排之下，走訪了各學院與老師們座談，同時也率團前往全台北中南東舉辦招生座談會，親自與高中生及家長面對面會談。除了師生以及家長之外，我也和許多熱心的校友們有過多次的會面討論。從這些會談與討論中，我可以深切感受到師生、家長，以及校友們對於陽明交大的關心以及熱切期待。我更加堅信，在師生同仁校友同舟一心的努力下，陽明交大的未來充滿了光明。

合校之後，行政團隊已經啟動「一樹百穫計畫」，針對各項議題擴大邀集師生與海內外校友共同參與討論，一起發想，以資訊科來匯聚、分析及整合意見。計畫中很重要的一環，是由師生同仁以及校友，透過民主參與的方式，每個人都能夠對於學校的願景(vision)、使命(mission)，以及核心價值(core values)，提出自己的想法。計畫團隊將以人工智慧(AI)技術融合眾人的意見，產出學校的願景、使命，以及核心價值。這個作法提供了師生同仁與校友，每一個人都能夠表達意見的權力，而每一個人的意見，也都將由AI科技所採納，成為最終結果的一部分。陽明交大的未來，將由關心學校的人所塑造。而陽明交大也將成為台灣第一個大學，由「民主參與」以及「AI科技」，結合眾人智慧，來創造學校的願景、使命，以及核心價值。我們相信，這樣的作法，將為大學民主治校寫下一個典範。

透過這個email，我們誠摯邀請您，花幾分鐘的時間，到以下網址填寫問卷，寫下您心目中理想的願景、使命，以及核心價值。請千萬不要放棄您的權力，因為您的意見，將會影響最終的結果。

問卷網址：https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTsL3QhVa45IpftoJUK9TuhOm66qc5unmgFmCG0fo0e-WMGQ/viewform

讓我們用行動一起寫下陽明交大的歷史！

校長 林奇宏敬上

Dear NYCU students, faculty, staff, and alumni,

I hope this email finds you well. Over the past month, I visited all colleges of NYCU to talk to faculty members, led a delegation to hold admissions seminars across Taiwan to meet with prospective students and parents, and discussed with a number of enthusiastic alumni. From these talks and discussions, I clearly sensed passion and aspiration. I am convinced again that, with the collective efforts of faculty, staff, students and alumni, our school will have a bright future.

Soon after the founding of NYCU, our administrative team has launched the "One Plating, Hundred Gains” Project, a strategic plan with a long-term vision to make NYCU a globally renowned university. An important part of this project is to invite faculty, staff, students and alumni to contribute their ideas through participative democracy, and use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to consolidate and generate the vision, mission, and core values of NYCU. This approach provides students, faculty, staff, and alumni the right to fully express their opinions, and everyone's opinions will be adopted by AI technology and influence the final result. The most important, the future of NYCU will be shaped by those who care. This approach of creating vision, mission, and core values with participative democracy and AI technologies has never been used by any universities in Taiwan (and perhaps in the world). We believe NYCU’s unique approach will set an exemplary model for democratic governance of university.

With this email, we sincerely invite you to take a few minutes to fill out the questionnaire at the following website and write down your ideal vision, mission, and core values. Please do exercise your right. Your input will affect the final result for sure.

Questionnaire site: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfliBWX6Nm7Jdf3Zgo-Muct6TikFm9N4P33veFGUWv9I6lk-Q/viewform

Let’s make history together.

Sincerely yours,

Chi-Hung, Lin

The President of NYCU

PTT is one of the most open social media platforms in the Chinese language. Though it’s not more populous than Facebook, it’s arguably more impactful than Facebook here in Taiwan. It’s a reflection of Taiwan's spirited democracy, and it’s used heavily as a source for local journalists.

We speak with two INDSR researchers on a year-long project, “A Pilot Study on PTT in the Context of Influence Operations” (批踢踢影響力作戰前導研究）which attempts to identify CCP state actors on the platfor. The researchers are Oddis J.F. Tsai (Policy Analyst at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources) and Dr. Jui-Ming Hung (Assistant Research Fellow at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources).

The paper lays out mechanics and - through quantitative analysis - identifies types of suspect behavior on the world’s largest non-commercial, forum-based, open-source online bulletin board system in the Chinese language. This interview was recorded in January 2021 after the paper was published by INDSR.

Today’s host is J.R. Wu - a non-resident advisor at INDSR (Institute for National Defense and Security Research) in Taiwan. Wu is a former journalist with nearly two decades of media experience in the US and Asia. She has led news bureaus for Reuters and Dow Jones.
