Dear predatory conference, if you want to be more convincing, at least pick a topic I have some vague knowledge of before sending me an invitation... I can confirm that I have no idea what to say about wave equations in cybersecurity 🤨 #AcademicSky #ScienceSky

Dear predatory conference, I was never going to go to your conference anyway. But pro tip: if you're trying to be enticing, maybe don't host your "conference" in the US. Have you seen the news lately? #AcademicSky #ScienceSky
