I’m delighted to share that I recently returned to 中央研究院分子生物研究所 Institute of Molecular Biology, to deliver a research talk on my research in primate neurophysiology.

中央研究院 Academia Sinica is where I was first inspired to pursue the biological sciences and where I learned how to think rigorously about research. Coming back to present my work at the very place that shaped my scientific foundation was deeply meaningful.

My sincere thanks to Dr Yu-Wei Wu (吳玉威博士) for the generous invitation and for organizing a delightful dinner and thoughtful one-on-one meetings with neuroscience P*s, including many from 中央研究院生物醫學科學研究所. The discussions were stimulating, constructive, and energizing. It was truly a joyful and exciting evening reconnecting with the community.

I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to be invited by Prof Chi-Hung Juan （阮啟宏講座教授暨副校長）, Chair Professor and Vice President of National Central University (NCU), Taiwan, to give a talk on our work exploring the neural computation of food choice using single-neuron recordings in nonhuman primates.

The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at NCU is one of the leading research institutes in cognitive science in Taiwan, so being able to share our research there felt especially meaningful. I deeply appreciated the thoughtful questions, stimulating discussions, and the warm academic atmosphere.

My sincere thanks as well to Prof Sheng-Hsuan Lin（陽明交通大學統計所林聖軒教授）and Prof Fu Shih-Chen （東華大學生化暨分子醫學科學系傅詩宸助理教授）for traveling all the way to NCU to attend the talk. I also learned a great deal from research on multilevel sports science and cognitive decline—an exciting area that connects neuroscience with human performance and ageing.

Grateful for the exchange of ideas and for the growing scientific connections.

As we celebrated of the 30th anniversary of the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI), I was honoured to be invited to deliver a research talk at the Center for Neuropsychiatric Research.

In this talk, I shared cutting-edge translational neuroscience research on using transcranial ultrasound neurostimulation to modulate the primate reward system and discussed its potential applications for neuropsychiatric interventions. It was a pleasure to engage in thoughtful exchanges with researchers across disciplines.

My sincere thanks to Dr Sheng-Chang Wang (王聲昌副研究員) for the generous invitation and Prof Wei-Jian Chen (陳為堅主任暨國家衛生研究院副院長) for hosting my talk. The warm hospitality—along with the meaningful souvenir from my hometown was what I truly appreciated.

I also had the privilege of engaging in deep and inspiring discussions with the Director of NHRI, Prof Huey-Kang Sytwu (司徒惠康院長). Learning about his career journey and his vision for interdisciplinary health and biomedical research was incredibly motivating. I am grateful for the memorial edition gift celebrating the 30th anniversary of NHRI, and for his encouragement to pursue a meaningful research career without retreating from challenges.

This was a truly fruitful and memorable visit, and I am thankful for the opportunity to exchange ideas and build connections.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting 國立中山大學 National Sun Yat-sen University（NSYSU）College of Medicine, where I gave a talk on how non-human primate (NHP) neuroscience research can inform translational approaches to neuropsychiatric treatment.

This visit was especially meaningful given NSYSU’s unique connection to the Formosan macaque (Macaca cyclopis)—the primate species indigenous to Taiwan, also commonly referred to as the Taiwanese macaque. Discussing macaque neuroscience in a place where these animals are part of the local ecosystem highlighted the importance of ethically grounded, biologically relevant primate research for advancing brain and mental health science.

I am very grateful to the faculty and researchers at NSYSU for their warm welcome and for generously sharing their vision in medical teaching and research. The opportunity to exchange ideas across basic neuroscience, clinical translation, and education was truly inspiring.

During my visit to 國立成功大學 National Cheng Kung University, I was fortunate to visit 國立成功大學敏求智慧運算學院 Miin Wu School of Computing, NCKU, where we had in-depth exchanges on how learning and decision-making mechanisms can inform NeuroAI research and the development of computationally intelligent systems, bridging biological and artificial intelligence. We had exciting discussions on several ongoing projects in the center, including:

- Spiking neural network (SNN) modelling
- AI-assisted autism screening for premature infants
- Epilepsy neurophysiology simulation

At the NCKU MRI 成大心智影像研究中心, we explored advancing primate-based translational neuroscience, integrating behavior with ongoing experiments that offer critical insights into cognition in naturalistic contexts.

At the NCKU College of Medicine Laboratory Animal Center, we exchanged experiences on establishing the highest standard of animal research facilities and the potential extension to nonhuman primate species. I greatly appreciated the openness, expertise, and collaborative spirit at each institute, and I look forward to future opportunities for collaboration.

It was a wonderful opportunity to visit 國立成功大學 National Cheng Kung University and connect with the 成大健照所 Institute of Allied Health Sciences, NCKU, Taiwan and the Department of Psychology to share my experience in translational neuroscience research.

I appreciated the engaging discussions with faculty over lunch and the exchange of ideas at my talk around interdisciplinary collaboration. It was also a pleasure to meet President Meng-Ru Shen (沈孟儒校長) and learn more about the University’s vision and strategic priorities.

I would also like to thank 謝淑蘭教授 for hosting me during my stay in Tainan and 國家科學及技術委員會 for the funding support to make my visit happen. Looking forward to continued dialogue and future collaborations.

I feel honoured to be invited to 高雄醫學大學 Kaohsiung Medical University (KMU) earlier this month for in-depth research discussions on my work using single-neuron recordings in primates to understand the neural mechanisms of decision-making. I had the pleasure of meeting with President Ming-Lung Yu (余明隆校長) and Vice President Prof Chih-Lung Lin (林志隆副校長), engaging in rich scientific exchanges with the faculty of 高雄醫學大學心理學系 the Department of Psychology, focusing on neural computation, cognition, and translational directions in neuroscience. These conversations highlighted exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration. My sincere thanks to the generous invitation and warm hospitality. I truly appreciated the thoughtful dialogue and look forward to continued research exchange.

I was honored to be invited by 國立成功大學醫學院 College of Medicine,National Cheng Kung University and 國立成功大學臨床醫學研究所 to give a talk on primate single-neuron research and their translation to human neuropsychiatric conditions. This visit was sponsored by National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan (國家科學及技術委員會).

My sincere thanks to Prof Ming-Jer Tang (湯銘哲教授) for the encouragement after talk, the kind invitation from Prof Yi-Jen Wu (吳怡真教授), and to the outstanding students from across multiple departments for the thoughtful questions and engaging discussions. It was inspiring to see such strong interdisciplinary interest bridging neuroscience, psychiatry, and neuromodulation.

沒想到竟然有機會連續第三年，陪伴臺灣的農產品前來角逐英國精緻食品公會（Guild of Fine Food）舉辦的金叉獎（Golden Fork Award）。金叉獎每年從全世界上萬件報名的食品當中，分別授予一星到三星的好味賞（Great Taste Award），再從三星獎的得主當中，邀請最高分的項目，親自到英國來參加金叉獎頒獎典禮。今年很意外再次接到邀請，前來協助臺灣的入圍廠商攤位擔任英文口譯。

今年入圍的品項是來自雲林土庫，情人蜂蜜 LOVER HONEY 公司出產的龍眼蜂蜜。活動中跟情人蜂蜜的第四代負責人兩兄弟聊天，學習到很多跟蜂蜜生產的知識，和臺灣蜂蜜市場行銷的現況，覺得收穫良多。臺灣的產品連續三年都有入圍到最後決選的頒獎典禮，千里迢迢飛來英國，已經引起評審團的注意，紛紛特別前來攤位致意。

因為老家務農的關係，總是覺得能幫忙臺灣小農將自己的產品推上國際舞台，是一件很有意義的事情。活動同時，也讓我想起過去曾受過專業導覽訓練與服務的經驗，默默地也培養過各種不同領域的技能，很喜歡透過這些非典型的機會，體驗不同的挑戰。
