It was great to present my research at an academic conference for the first time. My fellow scholars were kind and curious which made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social is growing an amazing network across the disciplines #AI #Digitalscholarship #network

My friend Dr. Joanne Liu, former international president of Doctors Without Borders, was cancelled at NYU. The vice-president in education asked to see her powerpoint, prior to her lecture. One slide showed the number of humanitarian workers who died in Gaza. NYU cancelled the event.
