In this episode of Marrow Masters, we speak with Stephanie Chuang, founder and chief storyteller of The Patient Story. Stephanie shares how her life changed at 31, just two months before her wedding, when she was diagnosed with lymphoma. At the time, she was working as a TV news reporter in San Francisco and had been explaining away symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and a strange cough. A same day doctor's visit led to blood work, an x-ray, an emergency CT scan, and then the call that confirmed lymphoma. Stephanie talks about the shock of diagnosis and the fear that followed. She also shares how much it mattered to have people around her who understood how to navigate the health care system. A family friend who was a doctor helped her get into care quickly, showed her what steps to take, and became a human compass during a frightening time. That experience stayed with her. It helped shape the reason she later created The Patient Story, so others would not have to feel so alone after diagnosis. The conversation then moves into survivorship and the emotional whiplash that can happen when treatment ends. Stephanie explains that hearing “no evidence of disease” was a huge relief, but it did not mean life went back to normal. She felt grateful, but she also felt lost. Her identity as a journalist, fiancé, daughter, sister, and busy person had been shaken. She could not simply return to the same pace or the same version of herself. Stephanie also talks about scanxiety and the surveillance cycle. She describes how difficult it can be to move from frequent monitoring to longer gaps between appointments. Graduating from three month checks to six month checks can feel like progress, but it can also feel scary. She explains that giving herself permission to feel anxious, without adding shame, helped her cope. We also talk about the phrase “the new normal” and the late effects that can follow intense treatment. Stephanie shares that survivorship requires more support than many people realize, especially when patients move from oncology care back to primary care. She emphasizes the importance of meeting people where they are, validating their fears, and helping them feel less alone. The episode closes with Stephanie's message to newly diagnosed patients: you are not alone, your questions matter, and you deserve to speak up in the doctor's office. The Patient Story exists to share honest, hopeful stories that help people find connection, information, and courage.

The paper chase: How 4 Calgarians made their cities better with bookstores A trip into Western Canadian book culture.

Data centers have moved from largely invisible digital infrastructure to a highly visible source of public debate as artificial intelligence accelerates demand for power, fiber, and compute capacity. The modern data center is now being built closer to population centers to support low-latency services, bringing critical infrastructure into direct contact with residential communities for the first time. This shift has elevated concerns around electricity pricing, land use, water consumption, and environmental impact—while policy frameworks and energy markets struggle to adapt at the same pace.The core issue driving today's tension is not simply whether data centers should exist, but how the costs and benefits of the modern data center are allocated. Do data centers represent a net burden on local communities, or can they function as a mechanism for modernizing the electric grid, stabilizing local tax bases, and expanding pathways into skilled technical work—if governed with the right market structures and incentives?That's the tension at the heart of this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, hosted by Greg Crumpton, with guest Julia Chuang, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland. Together, they unpack how media narratives shape public perception, why energy-market structure changes the “who pays” debate, and what it will take to train—and retain—the specialized workforce needed to build, retrofit, and operate the digital backbone of the AI era.What you'll learn…Energy prices aren't a universal data-center story—they're a market-structure story. Chuang explains how regulated, vertically integrated utility markets (like Virginia) create a perception of “free riding,” while more deregulated states can allow data centers to bring power on-site, build microgrids, and even sell power back—changing the public cost equation.The jobs debate is real, but incomplete. Data centers may not employ huge headcounts once operational, but the construction cycle can stretch 5–8 years for large campuses—and the bigger labor crunch is the shortage of specialized electricians, HVAC, and critical infrastructure talent trained for modern, high-density compute.Retrofitting legacy facilities is the next wave hiding in plain sight. The core constraint of upgrading older colocation sites is power provisioning. Many legacy designs were built around roughly 100 watts per square foot and cannot be scaled up overnight, because local transformers, feeders, and transmission capacity are often insufficient. As a result, operators are forced into creative hybrid approaches—combining limited high-density zones with lower-density legacy space—and, in some cases, consolidating power by acquiring neighboring leases.Julia Chuang is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland whose work focuses on institutions, groups, and how large systems shape behavior and outcomes. Her earlier research examined land use and industrial development in China, including factories, construction, and real estate—ground-level industries that, like today's data centers, reshape communities through capital, policy, and infrastructure. She now applies that lens to the U.S. data center boom, attending industry conferences and conducting interviews across the ecosystem to understand how data centers affect energy markets, local communities, and the politics of infrastructure.

En este episodio nos adentramos en uno de los territorios más complejos del sistema nervioso periférico adulto: las plexopatías braquiales. ¿Qué significa realmente que el plexo se lesione? ¿Es solo un cable roto o algo mucho más complejo? Exploramos cómo se organiza un nervio, qué ocurre en lesiones por tracción, compresión o inflamación y por qué muchas plexopatías son auténticos mosaicos intraneurales. Revisamos las clasificaciones de Seddon, Sunderland, el grado VI de Mackinnon y la clasificación quirúrgica por niveles de Chuang, entendiendo que no es solo anatomía, sino estrategia y pronóstico. Hablamos de degeneración Walleriana, regeneración axonal, diferencias entre lesiones pre y postganglionares, prioridades reconstructivas y del papel clave de la neurorrehabilitación tras las transferencias nerviosas. Porque integrar cirugía, electrodiagnóstico y rehabilitación es esencial para comprender realmente el plexo braquial desde una mirada clínica y neurofisiológica. Referencias del episodio: 1.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 322: Matthew Chuang, ACS Chief of War is a historical drama series from Apple TV+ co-created by and starring Jason Momoa. The show features a primarily Pacific Islander cast speaking Hawaiian, and is the first program to tell the story of the brutal and unprecedented unification of the Hawaiian islands in the late 18th century. Cinematographer Matthew Chuang, ACS shot episodes 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9 of Chief of War. He teamed up with director Justin Chon, his friend and collaborator on the indie film, Blue Bayou, to shoot episodes 1 and 2. Working with Chon, Matthew set the look of the show- a naturalistic, honest and real look, with few effects or stylized camera moves. They drew from films by director Terrence Malik, cinematographer John Toll and movies such as The Last of the Mohicans and Apocalypto. “It was a lot of fun because I had resources for the first time. The scale of the production was exciting,” says Matthew, who had never worked on a television show before, let alone an epic one like Chief of War. “We wanted to showcase Hawaii, the culture, the fighting style and costumes, but in a way that feels grounded and real.” Understanding the history and receiving guidance on cultural sensitivity was also important to the crew, who often engaged with the actors and local community to make sure it felt authentic. The crew shot in Hawaii for eight weeks before shifting to locations in New Zealand. For Matthew, the ninth and final episode, directed by Jason Momoa, proved to be the most difficult. They filmed major battle scenes in the lava fields of Kalapana on Hawaii, while the Mauna Loa volcano erupted for the first time in more than three decades. The lava rocks were sharp, hot and offered no protection from the sun, and the battle as scripted went from daytime into night. Matthew had to carefully plan the shooting schedule around the time of day in the script, with the crew often starting at 3am to get shots going from night into day. It was Momoa's directorial debut, and Matthew found him to be extremely knowledgeable. “Jason is very involved on the visual side,” explains Matthew. “He loves cameras. He loves the craft of shooting. He knows lighting as well, like the direction of the sun, especially with the show where we're shooting a lot of times outdoors, a lot of time on location.” Find Matthew Chuang: https://www.matthewchuang.com/ Instagram: @mattscope See Chief of War on Apple TV+ Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras: https://hotrodcameras.com/ The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com YouTube: @TheCinematographyPodcast Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Blue Sky: @thecinepod.bsky.social

Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, cinematographer Matthew Chuang ACS has always been drawn to telling stories rooted in culture and identity. After reaching a creative ceiling in Australia, he made the leap to Los Angeles where he connected with director Justin Chon. The two have since collaborated on multiple projects, most recently reuniting for Apple TV's epic series Chief of War. In this conversation, Matt reflects on his upbringing in Australia, his journey into the world of independent filmmaking in the United States, and his first experience working on a large scale television production. He shares how he and Justin brought an indie film sensibility to Chief of War, emphasizing the importance of trusting your instincts when approaching coverage and storytelling. We also dive into the technical side, discussing cameras, lenses, lighting setups, and the unique challenges of shooting in remote locations across the Hawaiian Islands. Tune in to hear Matthew's story, his creative approach behind the camera, and insights from the set of one of Apple TV's most ambitious series.

If we consider who some of the great modern Aussie cinematographers are, we immediately think of names like Michael Latham, Stefan Duscio, Jaclyn Paterson, or the man behind the camera of such films as Of an Age, You Won't Be Alone, Hafekasi, Howl, Blue Bayou, My First Summer, and Sophie Hyde's upcoming film, Jimpa.I'm of course talking about Matthew Chaung.Across his filmography, Matthew has lensed films with a level of empathy, compassion, and understanding that imbues the work with a warmth and tenderness that ensures that the stories linger in your mind long after the credits. When I think of Matthew's work, I think of the golden hour shots in Katie Found's My First Summer, or the discovery of queer identities in Goran Stolevski's intimate Of an Age, or the child level perspective of the world in Annelise Hickey's stunning Hafekasi. With Jimpa, he becomes part of Sophie Hyde's family, shooting the film with inspiration from Nan Goldin's work.In the following interview, recorded at the Sundance Film Festival in 2025, Matthew talks through his work and creative process, while also exploring the notion of what makes his cinematography unique. For Australian audiences, you can see Matthew's work in Domini Marshall's stunning new short film Howl, which is making the festival rounds. Matthew also talks about Dario Russo's new film, The Fox, which is on the horizon and stars Jai Courtney, Damon Herriman, and Emily Browning.If you're keen on finding out more about Matthew's work, visit MatthewChuang.com.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum Lifelong Learning in Neurology. Today, I'm interviewing Dr Kathy Chuang, who has recently authored an article on symptomatic management of myelopathy in the latest issue of Continuum, on spinal cord disorders. Dr. Chuang is a neurologist and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at Mass General, where she serves as Co-Director of the MGH Paralysis Program and Chief of the Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Program. Dr Chuang, welcome, and thank you for joining us today. Would you introduce yourself to our listeners? Dr Chuang: Hi, my name is Kathy Chuang. As you said, I'm a neurologist at Mass General Hospital specializing in neuromuscular medicine, also physiatry, physical medicine, and rehab. And I'm glad to be here. Dr Jones: Thank you for joining us. Basically, if we want to know more about managing spinal cord disorders, we have come to the right person, right? Dr Chuang: I try to do my best with all patients - yep. Dr Jones: For our listeners who are new to Continuum, Continuum is a journal dedicated to helping clinicians deliver the highest quality neurologic care to their patients, and we do this with high-quality and current clinical reviews. For our long-time Continuum Audio listeners, you'll notice a few different things with our latest issue and series of author interviews. For many years, Continuum Audio has been a great way to learn about our Continuum articles. Starting with our issue on spinal cord disorders (this issue), I'm happy to announce that our Continuum Audio interviews will now be available to all on your favorite open podcast platform, with some exciting new content in our interviews. Dr. Chuang, your article is absolutely full of extremely helpful and clinically relevant recommendations for the treatment of myelopathy, regardless of the cause. If there were one single most important practice-changing recommendation that you'd like our listeners to take away, what would that be? Dr Chuang: I think the most important thing to take away is that spinal cord injury of any type spans so many organ systems, it is good to get people - or multidisciplinary care - involved early on. There's eighteen model systems for spinal cord injuries scattered across the US. Those can be great avenues of resources for patients and for practitioners, for people around. Physical medicine and rehab specialists (our physiatrists or spinal cord injury specialists) can be very useful. And then, also for each individual organ system, there are specialists involved. And so, having that multidisciplinary care is probably the most important thing for a patient that's suffering from myelopathy because every patient is different and coordinating that care is so important to them. Dr Jones: So, teamwork is probably the most important thing, and I think most of our listeners who have taken care of patients with spinal cord disorders realize that that's really key. Your article - it leads off with such a great review of one of the big problems with myelopathy, which is spasticity management. From a medication perspective, I think many of us struggle with the balance between controlling the spasticity and some of the side effects of those medications, like sedation. How do you walk that fine line, Dr. Chuang? Dr Chuang: Spasticity management, like everything else, is patient directed. It depends on what the patient is most complaining of. If a patient has spasticity but they're not actually having any complaints from it, we don't need to treat, because of fear of side effects. I tend to try to use focal procedures (like botulinum toxin injections) earlier on, in order to try and spare side effects of antispasticity medications. Use of other conservative therapies, like bracing, stretching, is very essential. Another thing to consider is that dantrolene doesn't usually have side effects - cognitive side effects, at least - and actually can be monitored pretty closely for hepatotoxicity, which is its major side effect. Other possibilities are the baclofen pumps, which can be very useful in patients with spinal cord injury because their spasticity is often more in their lower limbs than in their upper limbs. By using multimodality approaches, we can definitely limit the amount of cognitive side effects of medications. Dr Jones: That's fantastic. Do you start with that multimodal at the beginning, or do you step into it with one, then the other, then the other? Dr Chuang: I usually start off with a low-dose baclofen because they usually have generalized tone - first, in order to see if they have cognitive side effects with it and if so, at what dose. Also, so that insurers have a trial of some medication before we proceed to something as expensive as botulinum toxin injection. But yes, if there's significant focal spasticity, especially, I try to bring in botulinum toxin injections as early as possible, just because of the possibility of minimizing the effect. Dr Jones: That's a great point - that you can start these from multiple angles and start them early. And great point about dantrolene - I think the hepatotoxicity makes many of us nervous. But it's a key point there - that it can spare some of the cognitive side effects. Dr Chuang: Yes, and actually, it can be monitored pretty closely. As long as a patient has access to labs, we can check liver function tests weekly or every two weeks until you're on a stable dose, and after that, only at intervals. And it can be weaned off just as quickly. Dr Jones: Fantastic. Another issue that you cover really nicely in the article, that I think is an underrecognized complication of spinal cord diseases - neuropathic pain. What's your approach to that problem, Dr. Chuang? Dr Chuang: Neuropathic pain is very, very tough to treat a lot of times. I usually give the chance of gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine early, just to see if we can start managing their pain early and to try to prevent potentiation of pain. But I also tend to try to get pain management specialists on early, and also keep in mind that there can be other causes of pain other than just the actual spinal cord injury itself. Because of deafferentation and reafferentation, patients may think of neuropathic pain, and it could be something as simple as appendicitis. If there's a change in pain, there always needs to be a workup for acute causes. Again, multidisciplinary treatment, especially with pain specialists, can be really helpful. Dr Jones: Great point about thinking of other causes, including appendicitis or the musculoskeletal things that I'm sure can be pain generators in this pain population, right? Dr Chuang: Yeah, it's very common. Patients can often fracture themselves just with a simple transfer and that can cause a huge flare-up of pain. So, not all pain should be just dismissed as being neuropathic or just from the spinal cord injury itself. Dr Jones: Great point - thank you. Another topic that you cover - that I think is mystifying to many of us - is the neurogenic bladder problems that occur in patients with myelopathy. You talk about the different types - how do you tell them apart? Dr Chuang: It's hard to tell them apart from a patient perspective because a patient will just say that they have difficulty with urination. With a spastic bladder or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, oftentimes, patients will complain of a short stream and having to force things out. And with an atonic bladder or flaccid bladder, they have difficulty initiating a stream. What can be useful are postvoid residuals - where, if a patient is in the hospital, or if you have access to an ultrasound, or if they see a urologist - after they void, you measure the amount of urine left in their bladder. You can see whether it's a smaller amount, which is suggestive of a spastic bladder, versus a large amount, or an atonic or flaccid bladder. The standard procedure that's done to measure these are also urodynamic studies that are done, oftentimes, by urologists, where they can actually measure pressure volumes and oftentimes get EMG recordings of the actual bladder - the sphincters. Dr Jones: Perfect. When you do those postvoid residuals (easiest done with ultrasound), what's the general cutoff you use to say - that's a small amount that might be suggestive of a spastic bladder? Dr Chuang: I would say, probably less than a hundred. And then, if it was flaccid, more than five hundred. If there's in between, it may fall into either category. Dr Jones: Got it. When you think about neurogenic bladder, what are the treatment options? How do they vary between the different types that patients may have? Dr Chuang: If you have an atonic or flaccid bladder, the main possibilities for patients just are, oftentimes, Credé maneuvers (or pressure on the bladder) in order to try and help with the bladder to squeeze urine out. But a lot of times they need clean intermittent catheterization or maybe placement of a suprapubic catheter long term. For patients who have a spastic bladder or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, we can use anticholinergic medications, like bethanechol, tolterodine - those medications - in order to try to relax the sphincter a little bit and then allow the urine to pass through. You can also have BOTOX injections to these sphincters of the bladder as well, which can be useful to relax them so that they can allow the urine to pass through. But a lot of times, a mainstay of treatment is intermittent catheterization, also for patients with severe detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, so that we can maintain small bladder volumes and not develop hydronephrosis, urinary tract infections, and complications of holding urine in the bladder. Dr Jones: Thanks for that, Dr. Chuang. Another part of your article that I thought was really fascinating, and probably will cover some new ground for our readers and listeners, is the use of nerve transfers or surgical treatment of weakness, basically. Tell us about that and how it's used in patients with myelopathy. Dr Chuang: For patients with myelopathy, it's used often in the upper extremities. If a patient has voluntary control of either elbow flexion or elbow extension (usually, elbow flexion), you can oftentimes have the ability to transfer nerves into the finger flexors and allow voluntary hand closure. If there's supination or wrist extension, you can oftentimes allow transfers of branches of the nerve - for example, from the supinator, or from the branch to the extensor carpi radialis brevis, into the finger extensor - so that, over a period of nine to twelve months, we'll be able to slowly regrow the nerve back in and allow the denervated muscle to become reinnervated with a voluntary controlled muscle and then restore voluntary finger extension, which can be extremely beneficial - just being able to voluntarily open and close their hands. Dr Jones: Right. And it sounds like the goal is really that functional use of grip and use of the upper limb. Not really so much for transfers, I imagine - is that not so much the goal? Dr Chuang: If there's less than antigravity strength of elbow extension and reasonable external rotation strength, you may be able to get elbow extension strong enough antigravity, and at that point a patient may be able to transfer independently - with a lot of training. Dr Jones: Wow, that's fantastic - thank you. There's lots of therapeutic options, really, for many of these complications, which I think is an important point for our readers and our listeners to take home. When you look into the future, Dr. Chuang, what do you see on the horizon as the next generation of care for patients with spinal cord disorders? Dr Chuang: I see a huge, expanding field, both of therapeutics - there are stem cell trials all over the world; there are neurorestorative hormones that are being tried. I'm very excited about the advent of robotics, with motors being basically shrunk down to the size of millimeters, and exoskeletons becoming lighter and lighter. I suspect that, long term, we'll be able to have robotic exoskeletons to be able to help patients walk and move their limbs normally. I know there are clinical trials right now involving orthoses that are controlled with brain interfaces that will hopefully help restore function in patients who need it. Dr Jones: It sounds like science fiction, but a lot of that technology exists now, right? Dr Chuang: Yes, it does. We definitely have prototypes of multigear hands with multiple directions. Now, the problem is trying to find the way to control these motors and to control these robotic hands and legs. Dr Jones: Caring for patients with myelopathy I imagine can be challenging, but I imagine it can also be quite rewarding. Tell us, Dr. Chuang, what drew you to this work specifically, and what do you find most exciting about it? Dr Chuang: I want to help people move better. I'm a physiatrist by training, and our job as physiatrist is to try to get people back to their activities of daily living as soon as possible; to try to remove any barriers to becoming active, independent people in their society. And so, I think that spinal patients that suffer from myelopathies or other spinal cord injuries have a lot of potential in the amount of activities that they can do and the way that they can contribute. I've seen patients who have been paralyzed and unable to move their hands at all develop tenodesis scripts, initially in order to just pick up things and then later obtain voluntary control of opening and closing their fingers. And it's huge in terms of what they can do in their everyday lives. Just being able to see that is just really rewarding. And even being able to help patients navigate society around them is just a hugely rewarding experience. Dr Jones: I imagine that must be really fantastic to see folks regain those milestones. Dr Chuang: Yes. Dr Jones: It's pretty unusual for someone to have done a neurology and a physiatry residency. So, between me and you and all of our listeners, which residency was better? Dr Chuang: Wouldn't trade one without the other. Probably wouldn't have done the one without the other, either! Dr Jones: What a great, diplomatic answer. Okay, good. Dr Chuang: It's true. Dr Jones: Yeah. You avoided offending all the neurologists and physiatrists out there. And really fascinating discussion, Dr. Chuang. It's an outstanding article. I think it's a must-read for anyone who takes care of patients with spinal cord disorders. I want to thank you Dr. Wang for joining us and for such a thoughtful, fascinating discussion on symptomatic management of spinal cord disorders. Dr Chuang: Thank you, Dr. Jones for having me today. Dr Jones: Again, we've been speaking with Dr. Kathy Chuang, author of an article on symptomatic treatment of myelopathy in Continuum's most recent issue on spinal cord disease - please check it out.

A true pioneer in computer graphics.

Part of what I love about getting to create a podcast like this is sharing conversations I've had with some of these extraordinary people that you just never hear about otherwise or never get to meet. They're working behind the scenes, inventing new technologies that become part of our lives. And they're out of the spotlight. I've been lucky enough to get to know Richard Chuang, who's with us today, because we both served as board members at the University of Silicon Valley, where he is still a trustee. Richard is a pioneer in computer graphics. He's been there since the beginning, since the moment we turned pixels into images on a computer screen and turned those images into animations. What has later become, everything you see coming out of Hollywood now. He's a real pioneer in computer graphics, having built some of the animation systems at PDI, 30 years ago, that ultimately became DreamWorks Animation, where the pioneering feature films animated on computers. Ants, Shrek, those kinds of things were first done. Look, Richard, it makes me want to cry. How humble he is, the wisdom he has in this conversation. He's sharing so much with us and, going back to, the seventies when he first learned about computers. there's some computer history in here. His encounters with Steve Jobs over the years, in both working in animation with computers, his experience with, some of the other pioneers in the, in the industry. Richard doesn't take credit personally for anything, but the truth is he's behind a lot of these things that change the world, and I'm so thrilled to be able to share him with all of you guys. Recorded June 20, 2018 at the University of Silicon Valley.

According to the NPA's Seventh Special Corps, patrols will be conducted in the park during the breeding season of Cardisoma carnifex, which occurs annually from July to August. 內政部警政署（NPA）於星期五宣布，警察正在實施措施，以防範在台南市台江國家公園對陸蟹的非法捕捉，希望能保護這些甲殼類動物的繁殖。根據警政署保安警察第七總隊的聲明，將在該公園進行巡邏，因為兇狠圓軸蟹（Cardisoma carnifex），台灣最大的陸蟹物種，每年七月到八月之間的繁殖季即將到來。 During these two months, female land crabs transport their eggs from the windbreak near Chengxi Menghuan Pond to the beach after sunset, where they are laid in the water. The Seventh Special Corps emphasized that this journey poses potential dangers to the crabs, including being run over by vehicles or caught and consumed by individuals. To mitigate these risks, the Corps will regulate traffic on the road along Cingcaolun Bank, ensuring the safety of the land crabs during the nighttime. 在這兩個月裡，母陸蟹在日落後從城西夢幻湖附近的遮風帶搬運著牠們的卵到海灘上，並放入水中。第七總隊強調這段旅程對陸蟹來說存在潛在的危險，包括被車輛撞到或被人類捕捉並食用。為了減少這些風險，總隊將規範青草崙堤防道路上的交通，確保夜間陸蟹的安全。 According to the Seventh Special Corps, individuals who capture and hunt land crabs within national parks may face penalties of up to NT$1,000 for violating the National Park Act. If substantial harm is caused, offenders can be detained or sentenced to a maximum of one year in prison. In response to these regulations, two local volunteers dedicated to protecting land crabs expressed their disappointment on social media regarding the lack of ecological conservation awareness among some people. 根據第七總隊的說法，在國家公園內捕捉和狩獵陸蟹的人可能會面臨高達新台幣1,000元的罰款，違反了《國家公園法》。如果造成重大損害，違規者可能會被拘留或判處最高一年的監禁。作為對這些法規的回應，兩位致力於保護陸蟹的當地志願者在社交媒體上表達了對某些人缺乏生態保育意識的失望。 Sharing his experience on Facebook, Chuang Chih-hsun, along with his brother Chuang Chih-shan, encountered two migrant workers who had captured over 100 land crabs to share with their acquaintances while returning from their duty of monitoring land crabs. The Chuang brothers had been safeguarding land crabs outside the park along the Yanshui River, where the crabs are not legally protected, unlike within the park. Chuang Chih-hsun expressed his distress, as he and his brother have spent more than a decade dedicated to land crab conservation under their parents' guidance. Despite this disheartening encounter, the brothers remain committed to their cause. 莊智巽在臉書上分享了他和他的兄弟莊智善的經歷，他們在監護陸蟹的任務結束後，在返回途中遇到了兩名外籍勞工，他們捕捉了100多隻陸蟹打算與朋友分享。莊家兄弟一直在鹽水溪沿岸的公園外保護陸蟹，因為這些地區的陸蟹並沒有受到法律的保護，不像公園內的陸蟹。莊智巽表達了他的痛苦，因為他和他的兄弟在父母的指導下致力於保護陸蟹已經超過十年。儘管遭遇了這令人沮喪的事情，兄弟們仍然堅守自己的想法。 The local agriculture bureau acknowledges the limitations of their authority in preventing the catching of land crabs outside national parks, as they are not protected in those areas. However, they aim to persuade individuals through education and ethical appeals to refrain from capturing land crabs. The joint efforts of the police, dedicated volunteers like the Chuang brothers, and public awareness initiatives can contribute to the conservation of land crabs and their habitats, preserving the biodiversity and ecological balance of the national park. 當地農業局承認他們在阻止國家公園以外的地區捕捉陸蟹方面的權限有限，因為這些地區的陸蟹並沒有受到保護。然而，他們希望通過教育和道德呼籲說服個人不要捕捉陸蟹。警方以及莊家兄弟這樣的志願者和公眾意識倡議的共同努力有助於保護陸蟹及其棲息地，維護國家公園的生物多樣性和生態平衡。 Reference article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2023/07/09/2003802920
