Astronomers in Taiwan often feel isolated from the outside world. It was first suggested by Dr. Typhoon Lee at ASIAA and through the supports of Profs. Frank H. Shu at Berkeley, Fred K.-Y. Lo at Illinois (now at ASIAA) and Stuart Vogel at Maryland, an effort to overcome such isolation has been made: now we receive video tapes of weekly colloquia given at Berkeley, Illinois and Maryland regularly. Thanks to the invaluable help provided from the 3 BIMA fellows, Shang Hsien, Lai Shih-Ping and Lee Chin-Fei, at Berkeley, Illinois and Maryland, respectively. (Shang Hsien got her degree and two new BIMA fellows Chao-Lin Kuo and Huei-Ru Chen had replaced her role at Berkeley since summer 98. Lai Shih-Ping also graduated from Illinois in the summer 2001 and Lin Yen-Ting kindly took over her job since.)

Listed below are the recorded colloquia received at ASIAA; a duplicate set of the BIMA tapes is kept at the Central University and is available to all astronomers in Taiwan. You are welcome to come to ASIAA to duplicate any BIMA tape for your own institutional use. Please contact Yi-Jehng Kuan (kuan@sinica.edu.tw) for details.
