If you're a PhD candidate in or from #SoutheastAsia and doing research on #online communities/ #digitalpublics, this may be the conference for you. Also seems to take early-career PhD researchers.

Researchers said the flood was caused by a "compound crisis" shaped by long-term warming, glacier retreat, permafrost thaw and geological instability. A 2015 earthquake is also thought to have played a role.

Reminder because it's coming up:
Do NOT refer to Chuseok as Korean Thanksgiving.
1) Thanksgiving has a very nasty US-ian history. Let's not frame Korean culture through the culture of one (young) country.

My advice for #gradstudents seeking a future in #academia:
Stop using your institutional email address for #networking. Did you know your institution in almost all cases will cut your address when you leave? Your list subscriptions, your contacts will all disappear.

Being reminded all day of what an amazing person Dolly Parton was and how much she made the world a better place, it amazes me that people aspire to be like sh**ty humans like Elon Musk and Donald Trump when they could aspire to be like Dolly. Is it just too hard to imagine being that awesome?
