Karl Shih Chang oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Karl Shih Chang was born in 1981 in Clear Lake, TX, in a first generation Taiwanese American family. His father was an engineer in NASA and his mother is a retired freelance writer and journalist. He has a sister who lives in LA.
Karl’s childhood in Clear Lake consisted of learning Chinese, reading a lot of science fiction and fantasy books, playing the piano and trombone. He went to his neighborhood schools up to high school, where he continued to play trombone and was a “band nerd”. After that, he attended Yale College studying Classical Civilization and Political Science (B.A., cum laude ), specializing in ancient/classical Greek language and literature. He was passionate about Greek philosophy, especially Thucydides— who he read over and over again. During his time at Yale, he was awarded the Winthrop Prize (competitive examination in ancient Greek) in 2003. Later upon graduation from Yale, he got into Harvard Law School, where he was awarded Williston Competition in Negotiation in 2004 and Heyman Fellowship in Federal Public Service in 2006. Same year in 2006, he passed his Bar Exam in DC. He also wrote for HLS Record during his time at Harvard.
In his last year in Harvard, he got an interview through the recommendation of his professor with the Department of Defense, where he has been working there ever since. During his career as a civil servant and as a General Counsel of International Affairs there, he was awarded the Office of the Secretary of Defence Medal - Exceptional Civilian Service in 2008, 2015 and 2017; as well as Secretary of Defense Medal Meritorious Civilian Service in 2020. One of his major works at DoD is the authorship of “The DoD Law of War Manual: Why, What and How,” Chapter II, for which he attended a number of
international conferences and presented.
In this interview, Karl spoke of his life stories, his family, and his relationship with his Asian American identity, with a modest and gentle demeanor despite the achievements he had in his life. He also shared his perspectives about voting decisions and racial justice. At the end of the interview, he made a time capsule for his future generations by sharing and reading an essay he wrote, titled “Life, Death and the Laws of War,” to reflect on his relationship with his passion in War, Law and Humanities, and dedicated to his late father, who passed away unexpectedly in 2015 due to an heart attack

Sedum triangulisepalum T. S. Liu & N. J. Chung ex T. C. Hsu & S. W. Chung 2022, sp. nov.
No full text<p> <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex T.C. Hsu & S.W. Chung, <i>sp. nov.</i></p> <p> [“ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung (1977: 21, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>)”, <i>nom. inval.</i>; “ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex H.W. Lin (1999: 102, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>)”, <i>nom. inval.</i>; “ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex S.W. Chung ” in Chen <i>et al.</i> (2017: 329, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>), <i>nom. inval.</i>].</p> <p> <b>Type:</b> — TAIWAN. Hualien County: Hsiulin Township, Lo-ma-wan Shan, 1800 m elev., 15 June 1973, <i>N.J. Chung 280</i> (holotype: NTUF!, barcode: F00008307; isotypes: NTUF!, eight sheets, barcodes: F00008308–F00008315).</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis:</b> — <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> is similar to <i>S. truncatistigmum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung (1977: 23) in sharing epiphytic life-form, alternate and ±flattened leaves and fused calyx, while the former is readily distinguished in having longer calyx (1.5–2.0 vs. 0.8–1.0 mm) that are only fused at the base (vs. nearly entirely fused).</p> <p> <b>Morphological descriptions and illustrations:</b> —This species has been described by Liu & Chung (1977: 21) and illustrated by Tang & Huang (1989: 27, pl. 15, as <i>Sedum microsepalum</i>), Chen <i>et al.</i> (2017: 329) and Ito <i>et al.</i> (2017: 11, fig. 1D).</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology:</b> — <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> is endemic in Taiwan, where it occurs in the northern and eastern portions of the main island and usually grows on tree trunks in montane cloud forests at 500–2000 m elev. (Liu & Chung 1977; Chen <i>et al.</i> 2017; Ito <i>et al.</i> 2017).</p> <p> <b>Etymology:</b> —The specific epithet is composed of two Latin elements: <i>triangulus</i>, triangular, and <i>sepalum</i>, sepal, referring to its triangular calyx lobes. It should be spelt as “ <i>triangulisepalum</i> ” instead of “ <i>triangulosepalum</i> ” as originally published by Liu & Chung (1977) according to Art. 60.10 of the ICN.</p> <p> <b>Note:</b> —Two gatherings, “ <i>Suzuki s.n.</i> ” collected from Wulai and “ <i>Chuang 280</i> ” collected from Lomawanshan, were cited under <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> by Liu & Chung (1977), and “ <i>Chuang 280</i> ” is presumably a typo of “ <i>Chung 280</i> ” since the “ <i>N.J. Chung 280</i> ” gathering, collected by the second original author and currently preserved in NTUF, matches well with the data given in the original publication (Liu & Chung 1977). There are nine duplicates of <i>Chung 280</i>, including one (barcode: F00008307) labelled as “ holotype ” and the others (barcodes: F00008308–F00008315) as “isotype”. Although these labels could not be archived as the legitimate designation of types as they are not effectively published (see Art. 7.10 of the ICN), they supposedly reflect the original author’s intention and are thus adopted here. Images of all type materials are available in the “Plants of Taiwan ” database [http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw].</p>Published as part of <i>Hsu, Tian-Chuan & Chung, Shih-Wen, 2022, Validation of the name Sedum triangulosepalum (Crassulaceae), pp. 215-216 in Phytotaxa 547 (2)</i> on page 215, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.547.2.10, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6571375">http://zenodo.org/record/6571375</a>
