The Sun Yun-suan Science, Technology and Humanities Museum, which has taken eight years to plan and renovate, was officially opened at a press conference on Oct. 30. Sun’s former residence, which was listed as a historical monument by Taipei’s Department of Cultural Affairs in 2006, is divided into Western-style and Japanese-style wings. The museum houses an exhibition of former premier Sun’s personal possessions, along with historical artifacts related to his contributions to Taiwan’s scientific, technological and economic development. One area is devoted to a special exhibit on the Industrial Technology Research Institute. Entry to the museum will be free of charge until the end of this month.
President Ma Ying-jeou was in attendance at the opening and spoke at the press conference. Ma praised Sun as a model for all civil servants for applying his vision and professional expertise to guide Taiwan toward achieving an economic miracle in a stormy period during which the nation withdrew from the UN, while Japan and the US broke off diplomatic relations with it.
Sun moved into the residence on Chongqing South Road in 1980 while serving as premier and lived there for 26 years. The museum is at No. 10, Lane 6, Section 2, Chongqing South Road in Taipei. Entry is free of charge from now until the end of this month, and tickets will cost NT$50 from December onward. Opening times are 10am to 5pm every day except Mondays.

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup.

The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
