Apparently the evidence is not strong enough! I thoroughly enjoyed this talk, which opened my eyes to the diversity and complexity of the Filipinos and their connections, extended through time, to their neighbors near and far. Larena did an incredible job making the talk accessible yet rigorous!

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!

Science communication is a social conversation around science & trust in science is about trusting the people.
Ending remarks after a tour of the activities & fests at the MIT, including an AI chat bot that is able to change minds & correct misinformation (in part because it's calm and collected!)

Persuaded by a friend, I'm now sitting in the Rathaus innerhof with Riedl 1977 and a cup of coffee. Oh the charismatic figures of 70s evobio. What a time.

I'm here (a bit early) to enjoy an English tour of the #ViennaCircle exhibition, to be led by co-curator Friedrich Stadler. In the meantime, I shall do what one does at a Bibliothek and read.

Now the tour takes us to the green (bio), metal, ceramic, glass & jewelry labs at #CenterRog #Ljubljana, #Slovenia
Floored to see a fabrication center of this scale.

After three panel discussions and a book presentation, the organizers gave us a tour of the #MadeInPlatform projects as well as the 8 maker spaces/labs of the amazing #CenterRog. Pictured below: wood, textile, food, fab labs. I want to live here for a few months!

I don't usually post about my hobbies, but I spend almost all of my "free" time frolicking around the fiber arts. Joining good friend Alina Serban #co-rizom at the #MadeINdialogues closing conference. She will now talk about crafts and circularity in the Craft Heritage Reinterpreted panel.
