__ 前進南極 __
南極科學研究是如假包換的國際外交活動,以台灣為名從事南極科學研究可以在南極國際舞台為台灣發聲、作台灣是一主權國家之國際宣示。過去在 DPP 執政 8 年期間,台灣南極學會一直推促其如派遣農耕隊一樣,先派“台灣南極科研究隊”到他國的研究站工作 (並派團訪問他國的研究站) ,最後設立自有的 Formosa 研究站,卻毫無下文。
KMT 上台後,馬上在今年 4 月初安排中國的南極研究船 (一種間諜船) 雪龍號來打狗港,並將在今年底 (下一南極夏日) 起將台灣科學人員派到中國研究站,於中國名下進行科學研究,在南極國際政治舞台將台灣置於中國之下 ── 將台灣的南極外交鎖在中國名下 ── ,詳見《中國南極科學研究船雪龍號來訪所帶來的 3 顆毒藥》。
背景是南極最大的科學研究站 McMurdo Station ,別名 Mac Town 。 隔鄰 3 公里是紐西蘭的 Scott Base 。 以台灣為名、舉台灣旗前往。 希望有一天建立自己的 Formosa 研究站。 請傳播並鼓勵台灣青年 …… 當然需懂英語,有問題請經台灣南極學會網站上之 e-mail 接洽。

科目:Integrative Biology & Adaptation of Antarctic Marine Organisms
活動日期:4, Jan -- 1 Feb, 2010
活動地點:美國 Mc Murdo 南極研究站
申請截止日:1 Aug, 2009
"Integrative Biology and Adaptation of Antarctic Marine Organisms"
This National Science Foundation sponsored course will be held in Antarctica at the United States' McMurdo Station for one month, starting January 2010. This is an international course, open to all nationalities. Applications are invited from graduate students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career faculty who are interested in the study of extreme environments and the biology of Antarctic organisms. Full scholarships are available for each participant accepted into the course to cover the cost of travel from home institution to Antarctica, and room and board while in Antarctica. The emphasis of the Antarctic Biology Course is on integrative biology, with laboratory- and field-based projects focused on biological adaptations in an extreme environment, with an emphasis on rapid climate change in polar regions. A diverse teaching faculty will offer students the opportunity to study a wide range of Antarctic organisms (bacteria/archaea, algae, invertebrates, and fish), as well as studying several different levels of biological analysis (molecular biology, biomechanics, physiological ecology, species diversity, and evolution). Deadline for receipt of completed applications is August 1, 2009. For more information and on-line applications, please see -- National Science Foundation (NSF)
