Write a post in which your respond to the article --  Heights & Depths . Do you think it is important that humankind pushes the limits either "upwards to the stars" or "downwards to the ocean floor" or both? How might doing so improve our lot? On the contrary, if you  don't  think such exploration is a good idea, where do you think funds could be more usefully directed?   Title your post "Heights & Depths: A Response -- Your Name", and illustrate it with a relevant image. In addition, in your post try to incorporate some of the verb-noun and adverb-adjective collocations we explored in class Personally, it is crucial for humankind to persuit  both space and deep ocean. First of all,  our curiosity  is unstopable toward the unknown. It is inevitable for human to give up persueing ambition. Therefore, it's blindingly obvious that there're people who realise a dream to satisfy  your curiosity.

  In my opinion, it is important that humankind pushes the limit either up to the stars or downwards to the ocean floor because this reminds people of the saying that “everything is possible”.   For example, in the past, traveling to the space or to the moon is unrealistic.   However, Musk shows that in order to pursue his ambitions, he established SpaceX and made Space traveling is possible for some groups of people nowadays. In terms of the benefits that people can get from these 2 explorations.  For the space, I think that it is possible for humans to discover new places to live or discover necessary resources that humans need to survive such as water or food because nowadays the Global warming issue has already showed that we experience severe weather more often or in the future, humans could face a lack of vital resources to survive.  In addition, for the ocean discovery, we can discover new species of marine wildlife or plants that could help humans to ad...

 Professor Nancy Longnecker's Talk had mainly two topics, which are about science communication and AI.  Her talk reminded me of the experience that I joined a class on science communication, where I taught elementary school students chemistry. There, we had some experiments to see what pH common liquids and solvents indicate using purple cabbage, and talked about why it happened. As the professor said, telling the fact wasn’t enough to teach the students, so I connected a daily experience with that experiment. Generally, sour things indicate low pH and stimulate our skin; on the other hand, things that indicate high pH are bitter and make our skin slimy, depending on the strength of the base. Using these daily experiences, I taught what pH was. Giving an example is easier to understand. That’s why I agree with her opinion.   Furthermore, as an active and frequent user of various AI tools, I strongly agree with the speaker’s warning regarding AI hallucinations and th...

I attended Professor Nancy Longnecker’s lecture Challenges of Communicating in Complex Times, and I found it very interesting and thought-provoking. One of her main points was that effective communication is not only about sharing information, but also about understanding the audience and having clear objectives. She explained that communication can aim to raise awareness, increase understanding, change behaviours, or even influence policy. Another important idea was that we are living in a time where misinformation and disinformation are very common. Because of this, people do not always trust scientific information, which makes communication more challenging. She also mentioned that we need to evaluate and reflect on how effective our communication is, instead of assuming that people will automatically understand or accept the message. I agree with the general message of the lecture. I think that communication today is more complex than before, especially because of social media and ...
