Aren’t Taiwanese media outlets choosing the Mandarin word for 2025? B: Yeah and after hearing the song Good-for-Nothing, adapted from some catchphrases of Legislator Wang Shih-chien, I’m going to vote for the character “tsung” (hasty) from the lyrics. A: Hopefully, in the new year, we’ll be calm as the
Sea star wasting disease (SSWD) is a strange and serious illness affecting sea stars, or starfish. This disease causes sea stars to develop painful lesions, lose their arms, and eventually turn into a gooey, melted mess. Since it was first observed in 2013, millions of sea stars along the Pacific coast of North America have died from this __1__. Although viruses were once considered a possible cause, researchers now believe that environmental stressors and microorganisms are primarily __2__ for sea star wasting disease. One of the main environmental triggers appears to be warmer ocean water. When the water heats
