我在美国唐人街长大 My Lifelong Love Affair with Chinatown, with Bryan Wang 在国外旅行的中国人，总要到当地的中国城打个卡。不单是为了领略生长在他乡的中国元素，更是在厌倦了汉堡薯条后，需要被一口家乡的味道补偿。踏进中国城，你仿佛穿越回了上世纪（甚至上上个世纪…）街边那些颇具中国风但早已不合时宜的装潢，掉漆褪色的招牌，让你不禁抱怨：老外真是不了解咱飞速发展的新中国！你甚至还会反思：中国城在外国是否被刻意塑造成了一种奇观？它是否透露着一种西方世界对中华文明的刻板印象？直到你发现那些老楼窗台上晒着的衣服还滴答着水，你才意识到：中国城不只是个符号，原来真的还有人住在这里。 本期嘉宾Bryan就是这样一个在美国旧金山中国城出生长大的华裔，而且他从未远离这片养育他、塑造他的土地。中国城于他，既是铠甲，也是软肋。土著眼中的中国城与游客会有哪些不同？中国城里又曾经升起和陨落过什么版本的“美国梦”？ When you think of Chinatown, what comes to your mind? Most people are fascinated with its hole-in-the-wall restaurants, its pagoda style building or its mystique as an urban enclave, while for many Chinese immigrants it is real life and home sweet home. Bryan was born and raised in San Francisco’s Chinatown, which is the one of largest Chinese enclaves outside of Asia and the oldest Chinatown in North America. He is one of those loyal locals who loves going back and patronizing their favorite mom & pop shops. What is it like to grow up in a neighborhood that feels a world away from the city? What are Byran’s best memories? How has Chinatown changed in the last few decades? In this episode, Lulu talks with Bryan Wang, a Bay Area Born-And-Raised/Chinatown Native. What he recommends: San Tung, Dae Ho, Nari, Dumpling Kitchen, Robin, Naya Dessert Cafe, Matcha Maiko, Stonemill Matcha. You’ll hear about: • Where to eat in SF Chinatown • Stunning secret hikes in & near SF • Reasons to support small and local businesses Music credits: Track: Snow, Sonata, Untitled #1 Music composed and recorded by Oak Studios Creative Commons - Attribution ND 4.0 Cover Photo: Dong Kingman (1911 - 2000) 小宇宙/喜马拉雅/网易云音乐 @斜杠青年研究所／@心心念的 Apple Podcasts/Spotify @Dedicated （搜索“dedicated lulu”更容易找到呦）

在多元的美国加州教种族研究 & 做YouTuber这六年 YouTube Is My Other Classroom, with Katrina Stacie 本期嘉宾是我特别喜欢的一位YouTube博主：Katrina Stacie。她在美国哈佛大学读教育学院时我就关注了她，看着她从实习、毕业，到备战教师资格考试，最终正式成为一名高中老师。 今年年初，Katrina在视频里宣布她已辞去了老师这份工作，这距离她入职还不到半年。这不禁让我想起了往期嘉宾刘浏，如果你听过“那些emo了的老师，谁来当他们的守护星”这期节目，应该对这个曾经也是老师、后来辞职创建教师互助社群的女孩印象深刻。刘浏当时说，她打算招募志愿者共创一本有关教师心理健康的手册。前几天正值教师节，我在朋友圈看到刘浏的这本小册子已经上线了，心中既激动又感动。做播客这么久，最欣慰的就是看着我的嘉宾们仍从事着自己的所爱，并实现了当年的壮志豪言。 刘浏和Katrina的经历说明：新手教师（或者所有职场新人）的焦虑，在国内外、各行业都是普遍之事。此外，Katrina在美国高中教的是一个很特别的学科：ethnic studies（种族研究），在国内高中并没有所对应。其实种族研究这门课在美国高中也颇具实验性，它的目的是让学生了解包括非裔、亚裔、拉丁裔和原住民等边缘社区群体的历史斗争和取得的胜利。去年加州才刚刚成为第一个把这门课作为高中必修课程的州；而无论是这项决议的通过，还是这门课在校园里实际推进，都面临了不少阻碍和争议。Katrina为何选择了这样一个领域？作为一个在美国出生的越南华裔后代，教这门课又让她对自己的身份有了怎样的新认知？ 此外，Katrina也谈了谈她六年来兼职做视频博主的收获和感悟。如何在素不相识的观众面前打开自己？什么样的自媒体最具魅力和生命力？ Katrina is a first-year teacher and she teaches ethnic studies, which is a new high school requirement in California. In fact, she started teaching a long time ago - not in a traditional classroom, but on social media platforms like YouTube, where she creates videos on how to live sustainably, reflectively and purposefully. Once she becomes a licensed educator, she finds that her YouTube experience can enhance her teaching career - either by helping her fight the beginner’s burnout or letting her debunk the misconceptions about ethnic studies. In this episode, Lulu talks with Katrina Stacie, an educator, SGV/LA Native, Chinese-American, child of Chinese-Vietnamese Immigrants, family gal, YouTuber/Content Creator. She suggests smiling to ourselves (and the ceiling) before we get out of bed each morning, and “never not chasing a million things we want”. YouTube @Katrina Stacie / Instagram @katrinastacie You’ll hear about: * Why teachers are leaving the profession in droves * What is ethnic studies and how should it be taught? * What is it like growing up as a Chinese-Vietnamese American? * Why is being authentic key to success on YouTube?

职业咨询：谁不想有一顶霍格沃茨分院帽？Career Counseling: Who Doesn’t Want a Hogwarts Sorting Hat, with Jason Tran 看过《哈利·波特》的人一定记得，霍格沃茨魔法学校有一顶神奇的分院帽：它能洞悉每个学生的禀赋和特质，从而将他们分到最适合的学院；分院帽也会最大程度地尊重个人意愿，比如虽然它看到了哈利的斯莱特林天分，但斯莱特林并非哈利的心之所向，于是分院帽还是把他分到了格兰芬多，这才有了接下来的故事… 假如我们在为选专业、行业、雇主时感到迷茫无助时，也有这样一顶魔法帽，或者像魔法帽一样有权威、经验、智慧的人为我们指明方向，那该多好！其实，职业咨询师就可以扮演这种角色，很多高校也都配有此类师资。 本期嘉宾Jason是一位有着十年经验高校职业咨询师，他分别在美国加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)、洛约拉马利蒙特大学(LMU)、南加州大学(USC)就职。而Jason自己的咨询生涯，也是从他本科的一次职业咨询开始的…我们聊了聊： * 高校职业咨询师的工作日常 * 如何看待风靡职场圈的MBTI性格测试 * 如何跻身未来最有前景的领域 * 选择面包，还是追逐梦想？ Ever since the Hogwarts Sorting Hat wisely placed Harry Porter into Gryffindor, we’ve all dreamed of a magic hat that can point us to the right career. The popular MBTI personality test sounds like one close thing, but if you’d like something more interactive - meet a career counselor! Not only have career counselors seen countless applicants with similar background, but they’ve also maintained close connections with employers you might be interested in. They also keep close watch on market trends and labor statistics. Whoever you talk to, career exploration is always about reflecting on yourself. It’s the power of introspection that drives the insights and fuels the motivation to make moves. As Dumbledore puts it, “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” In this episode, you’ll hear from a career counselor with 10-year experience on choosing and building a career. In this episode, Lulu talks with Jason Tran, an Associate Director/Career Strategist at USC Marshall School of Business. He also served as a University Advisor at the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Academic Resource Center, and a Career Counselor at the UCLA Career Center. Outside counseling, he is a hardcore Los Angeles Lakers fan who enjoys meditating, reading, watching Marvel superhero movies, the beach, and exploring different types of cuisine. You’ll hear about: * What a day in the life of a career counselor looks like * Can personality tests help us pick the right career? * The fastest-growing jobs of the next decade * Should we keep a stable job or pursue what we love?

药企培训师：为新药研发“续命”的人 Scientists Help Us Learn, Who Helps Scientist Learn, with Serene Yu 提到辉瑞、阿斯利康，你可能最先想到它们的新冠疫苗。但其实这些药企里还上演着许多其他领域的研究：比如肿瘤、心血管病、罕见病…疫情后，不少新药的研发不但要给新冠让路，还面临着病人入组难、药物配送和随访中断等挑战。研发新药就像跑马拉松，是一项长期工程，谁又能在一旁为科研人员加油呢？本期嘉宾是来自阿斯利康的企业培训师Serene，她将讲述：承载着万千期待的药企如何激发其研发团队的潜能，加速新药的诞生。 罕见病知多少 * 据世界卫生组织估计，全球每15人中就有1人正受到罕见病的影响。 * 受罕见病影响的人数比受癌症和艾滋病的总人数还要多。 * 罕见病患者中有一半是儿童，每10个罕见病患儿中有3个活不过5岁。 * 80%的罕见病是遗传性疾病。 * 罕见病平均确诊时间为6到8年。 * 95%的罕见病还尚未有经美国食品药品管理局（FDA）批准的治疗药物。 This is the stereotype we have of pharmaceutical scientists: smart, isolated workaholic who spend most of their day in a laboratory. They have a clear roadmap for drug discovery. They are close to offering the world a new promising cure. In fact, scientists are also employees like you and me. They can feel stuck at work or struggle to collaborate. Besides studying compounds and organisms, they also seek to advance their career and step into leadership. That’s how the Learning & Development department (L&D) comes into play. Scientists help us learn and L&D help scientists learn. In this episode, Lulu talks with Serene Yu, a L&D professional @AstraZeneca/life-long+life-wide learner/Christian/wife/idealist with a to-do list/not-quite Bostonian, who aspires to bring the joy of learning back to adulthood. To date, her team has delivered five innovative medicines approved for the treatment of seven rare diseases. You’ll hear about: * What is a rare disease? * If rare diseases are so rare, why do they matter? * How does L&D help pharmaceutical professionals navigate the drug discovery odyssey?
