Received a heart-bursting compliment about the #RupertRiedl article, from Riedl's daughter herself:
Thank you so much … I love your article … it’s so profound and well written - he’s so well-portrayed - almost as if you’d known him personally.

Really nice to be here at a special Austro-Philippine society event, esp by the invitation of Camilo Antonio, to hear Maximilian Larena (Uppsala) talk about the pop gen of the Filipino people. I'm particularly interested in hearing more about the "out of Taiwan" hypothesis!

Newcomers to @univie.ac.at, this is your PSA that on Oct 8th, there is an official "Welcome brunch for new members of staff (in English)" that serves as your entry-point & intro to the university. That's where I learned about the uni's structure & insider perks.
