Dive into the fascinating and awe-inspiring world of the ocean with our upcoming café scientifique :
Join us for the third edition of our café scientifique series on Wednesday, April 26, 18:30 to 21:00 at Taipei Urban Regeneration Idea Hub (more below), this time featuring experts in the field of marine science. We are delighted to welcome two distinguished speakers, Hui-Yu Wang and Vianney Denis, who will share their research on fishery and coral reefs.
The concept of the event remains the same: two short but insightful presentations in English and after the talks, continue the conversation over a drink and light refreshments.
As always, the event is open to everyone, whether you are a marine science expert or simply someone with a curious mind. The relaxed and engaging atmosphere will encourage lively discussion and networking among attendees, making it a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.
=================================================================
The ocean is a world of delicate balance, full of wonder and complexity. While it can be a source of endless exploration, it is also vulnerable to the impact of human activity, including climate change, pollution, and overfishing. This makes it all the more crucial that we have dedicated researchers who use their expertise to diagnose the state of our oceans and find solutions for adaptation, protection, and conservation.
This event will be a unique opportunity to learn more about the state of the ocean with the most up-to-date knowledge, to get our speakers' perspectives on current issues but also to better understand what being a marine science researcher is about.
=================================================================
About our speakers:
· Hui-Yu Wang is an environmental scientist specializing in fishery and a research fellow at the Academia Sinica. She graduated from NTU where she worked for a long time after having brilliantly started her career in the United States. She earned her PhD from the University of Michigan and had also been a researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her current research focuses on the various influences of climate change on fishes. Her work on numerous species is crucial for understanding the immense transformations taking place in our oceans.
· Vianney Denis is a researcher at the
Institute of Oceanography at NTU. Being an avid scuba-diver, he has decided to turn his passion into a
career by becoming a marine biologist. After a degree at Sorbonne (Paris-VI), he earned his PhD at the University of La Reunion. Living in Taiwan for a long time, he has become one of the leading experts in the study of coral reefs on the island, giving him a unique vantage point to witness the upheavals affecting the fragile balance of this ecosystem.
