哈佛大學華裔名教授江淵聲辭世 享年93歲

              (Boston Orange 編譯) 哈佛大學榮休教授江淵聲 (Nelson Yuan-sheng Kiang) 319日辭世,享年93歲。波士頓環球報 (Boston Globe)繼日前刊發訃聞後,42日再發一篇千字長文,描述江教授一生。

              該文稱江淵聲教授是來自中國的移民,卻也同時是一名科學家和教育家,在人類聽力的研究上有突破性成就,銜接了工程學和醫學之間的距離。

              他有多方面長才,曾在麻省理工學院和哈佛大學醫學院任職,創辦了麻州眼耳機構(Mass Eye and Ear) Eaton-Peabody實驗室。他經常發現自己被形塑成一種翻譯者,幫助不同領域的人了解並狠狠地和彼此協作。

              1989年,他在麻省理工學院的電子研究實驗室刊物RLE趨勢 (RLE Currents) 發表的訪問中說,「你可以說我是一名科學界的語言家,我發現自己和臨床醫生、工程師、生物學家及心理學家很容易溝通」。

              他還補充道,「盡管科學和醫藥並沒有相同使命,但它們確實有些重疊」。

              江淵聲博士是一位聽覺生理學先驅。他有這麼多成就,部分原因是他很出名的只需要很少睡眠。319日,他在位於畢肯丘 (Beacon Hill)的家中去世,他的兒子,麻州大學波士頓分校亞美研究系主任江念祖說,他已93歲,健康也在走下坡。

              大約 60 年前,江淵聲博士開創了人們對聲音如何轉成電子脈動的理解。接替前任成為Eaton-Peabody實驗室19962022年主任的Charles Liberman表示,那最後刺激了聽覺神經的身經纖維。

 

Charles Liberman 說, “他是第一個真正嘗試系統地描述那些規則是什麼的人

Liberman 補充的說,江淵聲博士起先研究的是正常聽力,後來專注於“受損的耳朵”。 “他對人們聽力受損時出了什麼問題很感興趣。”

江淵聲博士的研究最終幫助形成了一些其他聽力研究的基礎,包括科學家和工程師需要了解他研究的聽力機械學,來改良助聽器和人工耳蝸的設計。

Liberman說,60年前,在使用電腦來儲存和分析神經科學數據上,江淵聲還協助引領道路,使得測量可以被研究到微秒的程度。

曾經是江淵聲博士所指導研究生的Liberman說,江淵聲博士非常熱衷於科學的嚴謹和思路的清晰。江淵聲認為太多人看他們的數據,看到他們想要看的。

「關於他的一個很重要層面是他對自己的極其坦率引以為傲」,Liberman說,那也是他嚴謹和清晰的一部分,“我認為他是我見過的最聰明的人

江淵聲博士於192976日在中國無錫出生。他是家中3名子女中的排行老二,父親是中華民國外交官江義生 (譯音,Yi-seng Kiang),母親江石英 (譯音,Shih-ying Kiang)在他父親的駐館中管理領館事務。

江家移民到美國時,江淵聲才5歲。他在洛杉磯、紐約及西雅圖長大。

              1947年,他從芝加哥大學畢業,取得學士學位。根據哈佛大學醫學院,1955年,他再取得有史以來的第一個生物心理學博士學位。

              那一年,他加入麻省理工學院的電子研究實驗室,成為研究員。之後,他起初被指派到由慈善家,也是麻州眼耳機構前任董事的Amelia Peabody協助,新成立的Easton-Peabody實驗室。

              江淵聲博士擔任麻州眼耳實驗室主任直至1996年,把研究導入聽力機械學,以及處理聽力損失及耳聾,並帶到具世界知名度。

              早期在電子研究實驗室時,江淵聲發現竅門,成為一個能夠在執行重要研究時,把不同領域同事聚在一起的人。

              就像江淵聲博士告訴RLE潮流的,所有同事的研究語言,他都很流利,而且能夠橋接至今仍然巨大的科學與醫藥的文化差異。醫藥的職責是照顧病人,兒科學的職責則是找出宇宙是如何運作的。

              他在談到他的研究時說,因為他在麻省理工學院和哈佛大學醫學院都有教職,他能有2種觀點。

              他說,「在麻省理工學院,我們傾向於把腦想成資訊處理機器在哈佛,我們把鳥想盛滿是活躍化學的濕器官2種觀點都正確,當2者都了解,人就會得到更複雜的觀點。

              江淵聲博士的第一次婚姻,娶了Madlyn Rowe,一位行政助理,但最終離婚。他們倆人有個兒子,彼得 (Peter)

              江淵聲博士的葬禮將於日後公佈。他身後遺有妻子,兒子,在紐約市當心理治療師的繼女Pamela Raab,以及一名孫子。

              江淵聲博士一度習慣只睡4小時,引起了媒體注意。

              1989年時,江淵聲博士告訴波士頓環球報,我父親曾經說,我會精疲力竭。但是自從我跨入60歲後,他現在說,我活了大多數人的2輩子那麼長。他補充道,和坐在電影院中相比,他更喜歡看電視,因為那讓他可以同時看、吃、讀,而且和他太太談話。

              江淵聲博士花很多額外時間閱讀他那藏在畢肯丘聯排別墅中數以千計的書籍。

              他的兒子說,每一寸都是一堆堆的書,而他讀過所有這些書所以他能夠思考、談論任何主題,從任何時段,或從世界上的任一地方,從細胞層到宇宙學

              江念祖說他父親撥出2000本書捐給波士頓公共圖書館的華埠分館,另外捐了數百本給正在華埠施工中的昆士中學。

              江念祖說,他不會用這些字,但他的愛的語言是書

              在新冠病毒期間,作為一名走得很慢的亞裔老人,他是很容易受感染的目標

              Liberman說,麻州眼耳機構掛滿傑出人物肖像的藝廊中,在一片有著許多白人男士穿著西裝或實驗室服的牆上,江淵聲博士卻是穿著卡其褲、襯衫,口袋裡滿是筆。江淵聲以謙遜姿態堅稱,那反映出了他是誰。

              RLE 潮流刊物的訪問結論中,江淵聲博士談到他做為一名研究員和老師的一生。他說,只要人們支持我所代表的想法,讓任何一個人記住我並不重要

              江淵聲說,我認為被記住,遠不如把一個人所鍾愛的價值觀傳授給學生更重要,例如知識的完整性,對學術的奉獻,以及對個人工作的品質意識。我認為那是留給學生們最好的遺產,而且他們應該傳承下去,就像成為我們基因傳統一部分的病毒一樣。

            (Boston Orange) 創辦了麻州眼耳醫院Eaton-Peabody聽覺生理實驗室的]哈佛大學榮教授江淵聲 (Nelson Kiang)319日在家中安詳辭世,享年93歲。

                        江淵聲於1929 7 6 日出生於中國無錫。五歲時,隨外交官父母來到美國,在洛杉磯、紐約市和西雅圖度過青年時期,其後畢業於芝加哥大學,再於1955 年取得博士學位。

1956 年他來到波士頓,並於1959年在麻州眼耳醫院創立Eaton-Peabody聽覺生理實驗室,擔任主任,在聽力方面做開創性研究,並同時在麻省理工學院、哈佛醫學院當教授,1992年創辦了兩校聯合的語言及聽力科學學術研究項目,一直到1996年他退休為止。

江淵聲籌辦過幾場大型學術會議,並致力全球性健康及國際性教育項目,更不斷推動中美科學家之間的直接交流與了解。

江淵聲退休後,還積極參與波士頓華埠社區活動,人們常可在波士頓華埠社區中心,華埠聯盟 (TCC) 等地活動中,見到他的身影。

                      江淵聲身後遺有妻子Barbara Kiang,在麻州大學波士頓分校擔任教育系主任的兒子江念祖 (Peter Kiang),媳婦Vivian Lee,孫子Jazz Kiang,繼女帕梅拉·拉布 (Pamela Raab); 繼女婿大衛·斯托克斯; 以及繼孫 Emma Stokes-Raab Noah Stokes-Raab

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES EVENTS IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE 2013 BOSTON MARATHON

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES EVENTS IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE 2013 BOSTON MARATHON 

 City to observe One Boston Day with acts of kindness & community service

 

BOSTON - Monday, March 27, 2023 - Mayor Michelle Wu and the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) today announced two One Boston Day remembrance events on Boylston Street planned for April 15, 2023 to honor the victims, survivors, and first responders of the 2013 Boston Marathon. Additionally, more than a dozen One Boston Day volunteer events will be hosted by City departments and neighborhood organizations in recognition of our City’s spirit of care for one another in response to the tragic events of April 15, 2013. Residents are encouraged to participate in one of these acts of service or take part in their own act of kindness. One Boston Day volunteer events are being held Citywide and a full list is on boston.gov/one-boston. 

“Every year we come together on One Boston Day to remember the courage, strength, and resilience shown by our City’s people in 2013,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “As we mark ten years, we will gather together in community on April 15 to remember the lives that were lost, the many injured, and the spirit of humanity displayed that day. As we honor those forever impacted, people in all corners of our City will be giving back in a number of ways and I encourage everyone to get involved.” 

The City of Boston and the B.A.A. will honor the day with two remembrance events on Boylston Street on Saturday, April 15, 2023. The first will be an early morning private gathering and wreath laying at the memorial sites for the families who lost loved ones at the 2013 Boston Marathon. Honor guards, including the Boston Fire Department, Boston Police Department, Boston Emergency Medical Services, and Suffolk County Sheriff Department’s Honor Guards, will be present at the memorial sites throughout the day. After the B.A.A. 5K race, the City will open Boylston Street between Dartmouth and Fairfield Streets for members of the public to visit the memorial sites.  

At 2:30 p.m., the public is invited to join members of the One Fund Community, Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Wu, first responders, hospital leaders, B.A.A. leadership, and local running groups at the Boston Marathon Finish Line for a dedication of a new commemorative finish line, the ringing of bells, and the unveiling of a One Boston Day marker on Boylston Street. 

WCVB will be the pool television camera for the morning gathering on Boylston Street. The B.A.A. will provide an on-street pool camera tv feed for the 2:30 p.m. remembrance, but media will be able to film this afternoon event in other designated areas. More detailed media guidelines will be sent closer to April 15. 

“As One Boston Day approaches, we continue to honor the strength and resilience of our community,” said Jack Fleming, B.A.A. President and Chief Executive Officer. “This year, our theme for the Boston Marathon is oneBOSTON, symbolizing the unity and spirit witnessed after April 15, 2013. This year, we will gather on Boylston Street as one with the City of Boston and runners from around the world in reflection and remembrance.” 

Mayor Wu made a call to action last month for City departments and local organizations to register their One Boston Day acts of service events on boston.gov/one-boston. Many organizations including hospitals, neighborhood civic groups, and City of Boston departments are hosting service events in honor of One Boston Day, and are open to the public to volunteer. Service events range from a shoe drive held by Cradles to Crayons, Parkway Running Club, and West Roxbury Main Streets; to a Dorchester neighborhood cleanup hosted by Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association & John Hancock Investment Management. A full list is available on boston.gov/one-boston and will be updated as more volunteer opportunities are submitted. 

"This time of year evokes a strong emotion for so many of us across the City and the people touched by the tragedy ten years ago. But the most prevailing one is that Boston is indeed strong, and that our communities show up for each other in times of need,” said Jacob Robinson, West Roxbury Main Streets Executive Director. “Over the course of the pandemic, we've seen the same mentality and resilience throughout Boston's neighborhoods and Main Streets districts. It's that spirit which is so important to admire and keep aflame. We're honored to participate in the One Boston Day volunteer event with Mayor Wu, the City of Boston, Parkway Running Club, and the many other groups and individuals coming together on Saturday, April 15."  

“Cradles to Crayons is committed to making life better for children by providing the essentials they need. We are grateful to partner with West Roxbury Main Streets and the Parkway Running Club to collect new and gently used sneakers as part of the One Boston Day events,” said Aubrey Henderson, Executive Director of Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts. “What better way to celebrate our community’s resilience, generosity and strength, than by giving back to help others.” 

“That day on April 15, 2013 uprooted our community in many ways but Boston united in strength. Since that day, our communities have continued to come together and give back in their own way to bring people a sense of purpose as reinforced with the Martin Richard Foundation,” said Desmond Rohan, Board member of Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association. “The feeling of giving back in whatever way is a fulfilling feeling for anyone.  It’s also a great way to know your community and its citizens.  Boston needs a little love after the winter months and our event of a community cleanup will make our neighborhood shine a little more as we head toward spring.” 

Groups interested in registering their events can continue to do so here. Mayor Wu is also encouraging Boston residents to take part in their own individual acts of kindness, including those on the 2023 One Boston Day Acts of Kindness Checklist. Examples from the checklist range from buying a cup of coffee for a stranger to donating blood. Like in years past, people are welcome to share their reflections and acts of service plans for One Boston Day on social media with the hashtag #OneBostonDay.

麻州州長Maura Healey 宣佈從紐約聘伍華偉任麻州地鐵總經理

新任麻州地鐵總經理伍華偉 (Philip Eng)首度露面。 (周菊子攝)
          (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 麻州州長奚莉 (Maura Healey)辦公室今 (27)早宣佈,紐約州長島鐵路歷史中的首位華裔主席伍華偉 (Philip Eng)將從410日起出任麻州地鐵總經理,成為麻州地鐵歷來的第一位華裔總經理,而且年薪最高,將近半個一百萬元。

麻州州長Maura Healey(前)表示她第一次見到伍華偉時,就已認定這是
麻州地鐵需要的人。 (周菊子攝)
                    今日下午2點半多,州長奚莉和副州長Kim Driscoll,交通廳廳長 Gina Fiandaca ,原任麻州地鐵代理總經理的Jeff Gonneville,和伍華偉聯袂來到位於牛頓市Riverside的綠線地鐵站,宣佈這一消息。

                奚莉州長在一份聲明中表示,伍華偉正是麻州地鐵改善交通系統安全,恢復民眾信心所需要的那種領導,他了解能夠發揮作用的交通系統是經濟運轉的基礎,而且他有著掌管掙扎中的公共交通系統,然後戲劇性改善服務的紀錄。

今日下午在綠線地鐵站,奚莉進一步表示,這大概是她當麻州州長以來,必須要做的各項指派中,最重要的一項指派。而她第一次見到伍華偉時,已經覺得,就是這個人了。

             父母來自中國廣東,自己還能說一點中文,取了個洋人妻子的伍華偉,在記者會中走到講台前的第一句話是「麻州下午好」,然後說抱歉,他不是洋基迷 (Yankees),但是願意為紅襪隊加油。他強調自己是工程師,喜歡解決問題,將來麻州地鐵會創新,願意接受新想法,還會在規範之外思考解決方案。他覺得能為大眾服務是讓人驕傲的事,所以他很珍惜再次在公共交通領域服務的機會。他說,很明顯的麻州地鐵還未達到它應有的服務水平,現在是用新方法改變麻州地鐵做事方式的時候了。在麻州州長奚莉等人支持下,他相信一點一點的,麻州地鐵會有正面改變。

          6月起,伍華偉一直是工程顧問公司Liro集團的副總裁。這家公司為公家或私營機構提供工程、交通,以及基礎設施項目的諮詢顧問服務。從2018年到去年初,他宣佈因個人原因決定退休前,他擔任長島鐵路(Metropolitan Transportation Authority Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)) 董事長 

               在那之前,他曾任都會交通局 (MTA) 營運長,以及紐約州交通廳副廳長,在工程領域有大約40年工作經驗。

伍華偉擔任LIRR主席時的年薪是32萬多元,上任麻州地鐵總經理,5年何月的基本薪資是47萬元一年,比麻州地鐵的前任總經理Steve Poftak多了大約13萬元。到20247月時,他還可享有留任獎勵,約等於本薪10%3萬元,2025年時,再漲薪15%。再過幾年這獎金部分會增至20%

當年是在LIRR這通勤鐵路系統18年來表現最差的時候上任主席一職,帶領麾下7000員工,在新冠病毒疫情期間,交出這交通系統前所未有的準時紀錄。

在麻州州長辦公室發佈的通知中,伍華偉表示,現在是在麻州地鐵以新方式做事的時候了。作為一名工程師,一名有40年經驗的交通專業人士,一名通勤者,他將以雷射般的聚焦來找出解決複雜問題的創新方法,並以永遠把顧客放在第一位的那種急迫感來處理事務。

他也承諾支持辛勤工作的,保持麻州地鐵運作的員工,將加速聘僱,以確保麻州地鐵有足夠人力來提供乘客所需的可靠服務。

伍華偉上任後,除了改善麻州地鐵營運,還將面對麻州地鐵和中車公司 (CRRC)簽有 87千萬元,建造紅線、橘線地鐵車廂共404輛合約,但竣工日期已展延至2026年,橘線地鐵應交車152輛,迄今只交了78輛等狀況。

代表大約6000名MBTA員工的波士頓Carmen's   Union,本地589工會特地派員出席這場宣佈會,並發出新聞稿稱他們相信奚莉州長真心為乘客、地鐵員工及社區著想,他們也都聽到了些關於伍華偉的好話,歡迎他到麻州,更對他有相當的期望。

該新聞稿並稱麻州地鐵若私營化,只會使得費率更高,對乘客,地鐵員工都不是好事。

伍華偉和妻子Carole 已從紐約   Smithtown 搬到麻州,落腳牛頓市。他女兒Catherine即將從東北大學畢業,將在麻州的Sage Product Development 工作。 (更新版)

2024年起,波士頓馬拉松賽將主要由美國銀行贊助

 Bank of America to be Presenting Partner of the Boston Marathon

 Beginning in 2024, Boston Athletic Association and Bank of America will partner on all B.A.A. events and programming, marking next great era of running

BOSTON – The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) announced today Bank of America will be the presenting partner of the Boston Marathon® beginning in 2024. The world’s oldest annual and most historic marathon has teamed up with one of the world’s leading financial institutions on a decade-long agreement, which will extend far beyond the finish line of the annual Patriots’ Day event. 

“We embark on the next great era for running in Boston and around the world with Bank of America as our partner in all that we do, most notably the Boston Marathon.

“With alignment in values and commitment to both communities and leadership, we’ll work together to enhance one of the world’s great participatory sporting events.  Bank of America will partner with us at every stage to grow, broaden and innovate new pathways in running,” said Jack Fleming, President and CEO of the B.A.A.

“We are privileged and honored to partner with the B.A.A on this next leg of the journey for the historic Boston Marathon,” said David Tyrie, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Marketing Officer for Bank of America. “Through this partnership, we will broaden our ability to help communities around the world thrive, creating positive impact for small businesses, charities, runners, and teammates on race weekend and throughout the year.” 

Central to Bank of America’s presenting partnership of the Boston Marathon are its four core values: deliver together; act responsibly; realize the power of its people; and trust the team. The B.A.A. shares these principles in its mission of promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports, especially running, and focuses on connecting with participants, volunteers, community members, and supporters throughout the year. As a running and community leader, the B.A.A. will work hand in hand with Bank of America to bring the Boston Marathon’s impact and reach to new heights—both on a national and global scale—in the years ahead. 

“The Boston Marathon is one of the most iconic and beloved events our City holds all year, bringing tens of thousands of people together to enjoy Boston,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “We as a City are grateful to John Hancock for their many years of support, and look forward to building a new partnership with Bank of America and the Boston Athletic Association to elevate this historic event and welcome more people into our community.” 

Bank of America is also the title sponsor of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, where millions of visitors contribute more than $386 million to local economy, providing the equivalent of more than 2,800 jobs at a time of year when tourism in the city would otherwise experience a seasonal decline. In addition to the economic impact, runners make a meaningful charitable impact, totaling more than $246 million from 148,000 runners since 2002 going directly to nonprofits in Chicago, across the U.S and around the world. 

Together, the B.A.A. and Bank of America will strive to make running more accessible and broaden its impact. Bank of America is committed to growing the Boston Marathon’s non-profit, engagement and philanthropic initiatives, and extending the event’s presence through the hundreds of qualifying races in the bank’s nearly 100 markets across United States and communities around the world.   

In recognition of the Boston Marathon’s 127-year heritage and iconic stature, Bank of America has elected that the organization’s name will appear after the words “Boston Marathon” in the event’s new official title, beginning in 2024: The Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America. 

Fleming added, “Together, the B.A.A. and Bank of America will keep Boston front and center to ensure the Marathon remains a source of pride and passion for so many. Through this new partnership with Bank of America, we will expand social, economic and inclusive programs for local residents, businesses, neighborhoods and communities.”

In celebration of the announcement, City of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Bank of America, and Boston Athletic Association gathered at Bank of America’s office at 100 Federal Street in Boston for a ceremonial start to the partnership.

■ 講座內容

各種研究方法,除了素材和過程的不同,也都隱含了不同的底層假設,比如:對研究對象應當如何概念化、構成支持或者反駁觀點的證據需要滿足什麼條件、乃至研究的總體目標可以或者應該是什麼等。方法選擇會影響獲得可靠結論或理論的效率,甚至在某些情況下,相同的事實材料可能在不同方法下得出截然不同的結論。這使得方法論即對方法本身的研討批判,成為每個學科不可或缺的基石之一。經濟史學有經濟學和歷史學兩方面的淵源,方法方面有更多選擇,也使得經濟史學方法論更必要和更重要。

本次講座將會從“先驗主義”和“經驗主義”,“表象”和“本質”,“歐洲中心論”和“中國中心論”,“生產函數”和“消費函數”,“實值”和“估值”,“無效R2”和“偽替代變量”等多個角度探討經濟史學方法論。
