China’s population is facing a crisis in which there is a rising financial strain on members of society, especially the poor, in affording to keep up with the current health care system. Furthermore, the state of the Chinese health care system is becoming more and more unsustainable and cannot meet the ever-changing needs of the Chinese population. The Chinese government is in a process of reforming the health care system in light of these concerns and has made building a primary care-based integrated delivery system a top priority in the nation’s health reform agenda in order to better suit the changing health needs of the Chinese population. Professor Yip is organizing a conference in order to allow for various academic researchers of different areas of expertise (big data, primary care based integrated delivery, entrepreneurs, policymakers) to come together to discuss and identify key efforts that must be undertaken in light of health care reform in China. Topics will include applications of big data in improving primary care, examinations of opportunities and constraints present in China’s health care system, and potential allowances for collaboration and implementation in solving these problems.

With each passing day, climate change becomes more prevalent in how we continue to live our everyday lives. Affecting areas such as disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, climate change is pushing the important topic of crisis studies to the forefront of our everyday discussions. The International Network of Disaster Studies (INDS) is an evolving network of academic researchers from various Asian countries, the United States, and Europe who bring these topics to the table through academic discussions. INDS will organize a conference to talk about the changing climate of our planet and its repercussions. There will be discussions on topics pertinent to our understanding of the consequences of increased meteorological events giving rise to chronic crisis, population migration, and civil conflict. This conference at the Harvard Center Shanghai will be the third in a series with support from various sponsors.

中國南方雲南省澄江化石遺址擁有大量保存完好的古老複雜生物化石，這些化石曾在5億年前在該地點的海底漫遊。該研究專案探索了軟體海洋動物最古老的記錄，有助於更深入地了解數百萬年前居住在地球上的生物，並更多地了解我們現代生物圈的起源。澄江化石遺址在保存軟體生物方面具有特別重要的意義，這在觀察典型的化石記錄時是非常罕見的。哈佛大學和雲南大學之間的這項合作努力的目標是通過使用斷層掃描和軟組織的三維組織，對澄江生物群的形態、生態學和進化意義有更全面的了解和瞭解。
