           (Boston Orange 綜合報導) 1971年發表的聯合國2758號決議文到底該怎麼詮釋? 在53年後的今日，竟然又成熱議話題。哈佛大學甘迺迪政府學院10月30日也為此特地舉辦了一場「「再思聯大第2758號決議與台灣的國際參與（Rethinking UN Resolution 2758 and Taiwan’s International Participation）研討會」。

               哈佛大學甘迺迪政府學院的這場研討會，邀請了中華民國駐美代表處公使姜森和布魯金斯研究院 (Brookings Institution)中國研究中心主任何瑞恩 (Ryan Hass)主講，由TVBS國際新聞評論員余文琦主持。包括波士頓經文處處長廖朝宏，現場約有70人。

               聯合國2758號決議文很短，全文不過182字，重點是”回顧聯合國憲章原則”，"修復” People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和國)”的合法權利，認可中華人民共和國的政府代表是聯合國唯一合法的中國代表….並立即驅逐蔣介石的代表。

               在這2758號決議文簽署了53年之後的今天，人們又再熱議，姜森認為，主要是因為中華人民共和國近來越來越多次的濫用、錯誤解讀這2758號決議文，以合理化他們對台灣的主權的主張，藉以把台灣排除在國際組織之外。於是掀起右一波的澄清2758號決議文涵意的努力，以支持台灣有意義的參與國際社區。

何瑞恩講談結論。

               姜森指出，2758號決議文並未解決台灣的地位問題。中華人民共和國的錯誤解讀很危險，也增加了軍事衝突風險。台灣想要對國際社會有貢獻，尤其是在公共衛生、科技及經濟等領域。在台灣，人們普遍認為2758號決議文不公平的把台灣排除在國際組織之外，不過國民黨和民進黨等政黨在如何處理這議題上有不同看法。他說台灣有兩岸對話的意願，但中華人民共和國拒絕和台灣內的所有政黨洽談，形成了對話障礙。

               曾任白宮國家安全理事會中國、台灣及蒙古事務主任的何瑞恩認為，2758號決議文並未支持或反對中華人民共和國對台灣主權的主張。在對抗來自中華人民共和國的壓力上，台灣的參與國際組織很重重要。他認為台灣積極展示在科技、經濟、公共衛生等全世界都面對著挑戰的領域中，可對世界有所貢獻，會比用邏輯來爭論更有效。美國可以藉由促使世界注意到台灣對全球經濟的重要性，提供國際參與平台，強調台灣海峽穩定性的重要等來支持台灣。目前美國關於台灣採取模糊不清策略的政策，已在拜登政府任內漸轉變成更為清晰。

               與會眾人提了不少問題，也有人談到香港觀點，提及一國兩制，問台灣為什麼不根據聯合國憲章來民主自決，台灣的主權是否基於蒙地卡羅會議?政策制定者怎麼看儘管越來越多人把自己認定為台灣人，仍有一批人兼任自己是中國人等等。

               有意思的是，1945年聯合國成立時，在51個創辦會員國之中的中國，明明是Republic of China (中華民國)，大多數人在討論2758號決議文時，卻都沒有質問，這決議文否定中華民國會籍，”修復”中華人民共和國合法權益的合法性。

美國選定「紐約創造」為首個晶片研發旗艦廠 安置8.25億元規模的EUV加速器

Biden-Harris Administration Announces NY CREATES’ Albany NanoTech Complex as the first CHIPS for America R&D Flagship Facility and Planned Site for the estimated $825 Million CHIPS for America EUV Accelerator

New York Facility Will be Key Part of the NSTC and Expected to Drive Innovation in EUV Technology and Strengthen U.S. Semiconductor Leadership

October 31, 2024 – Washington, D.C. – Today, the Department of Commerce and Natcast, the operator of the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC), announced the expected location for the first CHIPS for America research and development (R&D) flagship facility. The CHIPS for America Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Accelerator, an NSTC facility (EUV Accelerator), is expected to operate within NY CREATES’ Albany NanoTech Complex in Albany, New York, supported by a proposed federal investment of an estimated $825 million. The EUV Accelerator will focus on advancing state of the art EUV technology and the R&D that relies on it.

As a key part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, CHIPS for America is driven by the growing need to bolster the U.S. semiconductor supply chain, accelerate U.S. leading-edge R&D, and create good quality jobs around the country. This proposed facility will bring together NSTC members from across the ecosystem to accelerate semiconductor R&D and innovation by providing NSTC members access to technologies, capabilities, and critical resources.

“With this first proposed flagship facility, CHIPS for America is providing access to cutting-edge research and tools to the NSTC and its launch represents a key milestone in ensuring the United States remains a global leader in innovation and semiconductor research and development,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “The research and development component of the CHIPS and Science Act is fundamental to our long-term national security and ensuring the U.S. remains the most technologically competitive place on earth. Thanks to President Biden and Vice President Harris, we are not just producing the world’s most advanced semiconductors; we are building a resilient ecosystem that will power everything from smartphones to advanced AI, safeguarding U.S. national security and keeping America competitive for decades to come.”

"This $825 million investment from the Biden-Harris Administration will cement Albany's leadership as a world class hub for entrepreneurs, researchers, and engineers in semiconductor innovation and R&D” said National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard. 

EUV Lithography is essential for manufacturing smaller, faster, and more efficient microchips. As the semiconductor industry pushes the limits of Moore’s Law, EUV lithography has emerged as a critical technology to enable the high-volume production of transistors beyond 7nm, previously unattainable. As the NSTC develops capabilities and programs, access to EUV lithography R&D is essential to meet its three primary goals 1) extend U.S. technology leadership, 2) reduce the time and cost to prototype, and 3) build and sustain a semiconductor workforce ecosystem.

“With two decades of proven experience fostering effective public-private partnerships and more than $25 billion invested in semiconductor R&D, manufacturing, and workforce development since its founding, NY CREATES is uniquely positioned to support the NSTC’s mission to provide an open environment to accelerate research, reduce time to commercialization, and grow a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem in the U.S.,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and National Institute of Standards and Technology Director Laurie E. Locascio.

“The CHIPS for America EUV Accelerator underscores our commitment to developing and advancing next-generation semiconductor technologies here in the U.S.,” said Deirdre Hanford, Natcast CEO. “Through this collaboration with NY CREATES, Natcast and NSTC members will have access to essential EUV lithography tools and processes to facilitate a wider range of research and accelerate commercialization of the technologies of tomorrow.”

Natcast and NY CREATES, a non-profit advancing semiconductor R&D and workforce development that operates the Albany NanoTech Complex, expect to establish the EUV Accelerator for NSTC members to conduct next-generation semiconductor research and development activities. The EUV Accelerator, which will have initial operations available in 2025, will allow Natcast, NY CREATES, and NSTC members to work collaboratively to conduct research and development activities essential to enabling faster commercialization of innovative semiconductor technology and strengthening the U.S.’s technology leadership. Key capabilities at the EUV Accelerator are expected to include:

• Access to cutting-edge EUV lithography tools and next generation R&D capabilities, including high numerical aperture (NA) EUV systems, with standard NA EUV expected by 2025 and High NA EUV in 2026.
• Convening and spurring collaboration with industry, academic and government partners to advance technological innovation.
• Dedicated NSTC on-site offices to support Natcast and NSTC member researchers.
• Support for programs that provide, foster, and grow a talented workforce.
• Efforts to grow NSTC membership and engagement while fostering an open, collaborative R&D environment with all NSTC facilities.

The CHIPS for America NSTC Prototyping and National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP) Advanced Packaging Piloting Facility, and CHIPS for America Administrative and Design Facility are still forthcoming. The Department and Natcast expect to announce information in the coming months about the process for selecting affiliated technical centers.

Natcast and NY CREATES have signed a nonbinding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and expect the final contract to have an expected term of 10 years. The final contract is subject to due diligence, continued negotiations, and refinement of certain terms. The terms contained in the final contract may differ from the terms of the MOU being announced today. Learn more about the CHIPS for America R&D facilities here.

BTPA談職涯發展 建立人脈關係仍是關鍵

 波士頓台灣人醫師協會舉辦首屆醫師職涯發展研討會

              (Boston Orange) 波士頓台灣人醫師協會 (BTPA) 日前首次舉辦醫師職涯發展研討會，請到專長於生物醫藥研發策略顧問公司，Pharmagellan的創辦人暨董事總經理Frank S. David博士，在哈佛大學史密斯家庭中心做分享，許多出席者會後讚嘆，真的很有啟發性。

BTPA會長謝宜瑾 (Tina Hsieh ，右)送感謝狀給Frank S. David博士。

               Frank S. David博士同時也士塔芙茨大學 (Tufts) 生物科技實務教授，寫過許多本關於在生物藥業如何最大化價值的藥業手冊。他的研究重心聚焦於生物醫藥策略及政策，也曾經在AstraZeneca當過腫瘤研發策略領導，在Leerink Partners這家醫療保健投資銀行做過交易諮詢實務的共同領導。

               Frank S. David博士從哥倫比亞大學取得碩士、博士學位後，進了布里根婦女醫院 (Brigham and Women’s Hospital)做解剖病理學住院醫師，接著在貝斯以色列狄肯醫療中心 (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)和哈佛醫學院做博士後研究。

               這天，Frank S. David博士以「我在生物製藥研發策略方面的多方面職業生涯 (my multifaceted career in Biopharma R&D strategy)」為題，闡述了他從醫學院轉進諮詢業的學術及職業發展過程。

               當年，他覺得自己在住院醫師中，不會是成績最好的那5%，但是他知道自己可以在某些東西上是最好的那5%。 於是他參考了「你的降落傘是什麼顏色 (What Color is Your Parachute)」這本書，藉以幫助查察自己想要做什麼，喜歡做什麼，擅於做什麼，然後和市場想要什麼，別人會因為什麼而付費給自己等做綜合思考。

BTPA研討會海報。

            從這過程中，他了解到自己喜歡科學、醫藥，卻不真的喜歡實地去做。他喜歡說話，喜歡談論醫藥，喜歡多樣性，廣度和創新，而且即使自己不是某些狹窄領域內專家，也沒關係。他擅長解釋複雜的事情，喜歡溝通，非常喜歡寫作。他覺得在實驗室做長期項目，簡直會殺了他，他需要短期里程碑。他有兩個小孩，不希望經常出差。而且他厭倦了貧窮，想要賺錢，想要生活得像個大人，而不是一個還沒長大的小孩，而且他不要再上學了，不上法學院，不念公衛學院，就是不上學了。

               2006年時，社區中沒有BTPA這樣醫師們可以交流的社團，於是他和很多人談過後，得出5個重點，生醫研發，生醫非研發，金融/諮詢，以及所有其他選擇，例如企管碩士，法律，非牟利，得上更多學，搬去華府，無薪。

               結果每個人都說，「你應該去試試諮詢業」，那會讓他能夠做其他事。

               他拿到了幾個工作機會後，加入了諮詢公司，結果他真的很喜歡，而且擅長於從事這行業，留在這行業內的時間也比他計畫得要長。然後，他又想，如果待在諮詢業的時間長了，可能會被鎖在這個行業內，就沒辦法進業界了。

               於是他加入了AstraZeneca做策略工作。後來決定他不真的完全喜歡這個做，還在他學到的關於自己清單上加了一項；我憎恨有個主管。那是一個完全不成熟且傲慢的態度，卻也是個奢侈的位置。不過事情總是有得有失有選擇的。他喜歡做客戶服務，建立事業，創造品牌，他覺得自己可以做個比個人工作室更大的事業，而且他能夠接受風險。

               就這樣，11年前他決定創辦Pharmagellan，經營得很成功，非常快就盈利，並給他很多時間，不去瘋狂工作。

               他寫了本書，最近接受了塔芙茨大學的工作邀約。他說人到50出頭，還會多想全職工作的來把事業打磨成功? 所以當塔芙茨大學來邀約時，他保留20%的時間繼續做諮詢顧問，80%在塔芙茨大學教書，幫助年輕的醫學預科生為自己的職業找出路。

               談到轉換職業跑道，他說那是關係趨向的，人們得建立自己的人際網路脈絡。而幫助別人，尤其是幫助年輕人，就可能將來有人找你，帶給你什麼機會。大部分的人都有一小圈關係很好的朋友，那些是真正的朋友。但是職業發展上的關係卻並不緊密，都是些偶而碰見的人，培養關係，保持聯繫，尤其是要和那些與自己所從事領域不同的人保持關係。

               波士頓台灣人醫師協會 (BTPA)今年8月才慶祝成立2週年。創會會長陳思達和羅盈智把會長棒子，交給了謝宜瑾 (Tina Hsieh) 和林敬軒，期待強調合作、多元化和創新的協會宗旨，在新人接手後繼續發揚。

大陳同鄉會吃便當唱卡拉OK 半年敘舊一次

大陳同鄉會創會會長周仙梅。 

               (Boston Orange) 大陳同鄉會30多名鄉親，10月27日下午假波士頓國民黨黨部會址，舉辦便當茶會，高唱卡拉OK，談近況、敘舊情，歡度一下午。

    大陳同鄉會的創會會長周仙梅甫慶八十大壽，鑒於許多同鄉和他一樣，年事漸長，打工的一一退休，經營餐館的紛紛把餐館賣了，不少人隨子女遷居他州，還有人選擇返台養老，鄉親人數逐年漸減，還在波士頓的就更加珍惜彼此。

    近年總是波士頓、台灣兩地跑，11月中又要回台灣的周仙梅，趁著最近台灣弊案頻傳中的"便當會"噱頭，發起舉辦了這次的便當茶會。

    周仙梅希望這便當茶會能越辦越熱鬧，重新把大陳同鄉會當年有人登高一呼，眾人八方響應的熱絡再帶回來。不過，下次的茶聚，得等明年暑期了。
