As a continuation of our attempt to use our cover images to stimulate STS to reach out toward interdisciplinary dialogue, as we did with "Dialogue across Borders: Angela Sus Chimeric Antibodies" (14.4), in this issue we are delighted to present a brief yet meaningful exchange between o Lin, one member of the boundary-crossing artist/activist duo "Weed Dow, and our cover team member En-Chieh Chao, an anthropologist and STSer based in NSYSU, Southern Taiwan. Taken shortly before the opening of the Taipei Biennial 2020, which we featured in Issue 15.1, the images chosen for the present issue are timely and, echoing the cover and theme of nature/culture on the development of Southeast Asian urban landscapes (15.2), amazingly appro priate as visual threads for readers to think along.
