Liao, President of Academia Sinica Time: November 20, 2025, Thursday, 14: 00 Venue: International Conference Hall (3F), Humanities and Social Sciences Building (HSSB), Academia Sinica As the problem of COVID 19 recedes into the background and public concern recedes with it, the problem of global pandemics, however, has not changed, and there is deep concern among health authorities that a far more dangerous pandemic is developing now and may soon be upon us. In his lecture, Professor Kornberg will present a remarkable solution to the problem of future pandemic preparedness. Implementation of this solution by governments and industry will assure that there will never be another pandemic. Besides, exposure to PM2.5 is the single greatest threat to human health globally, killing over 10 million people every year and costing the global economy upward of $8T. Professor Kornberg will present an ingenious software solution that can empower people all over the globe to protect themselves at little cost and with relative ease. #TAIWAN_BRIDGES #NobelLaureate #DrRogerKornberg #PublicHealth #GlobalPandemic #Software #Solution #Environment
