The last paper of my PhD is out! Read "Surveyed from Afar: Household water security, emotional well-being, and the reliability of water supply in the Ethiopian lowlands" authors.elsevier.com/c/1f-eQ…
Great news @Sypticus and @spaceandtime!

Honestly more current #WASH and #WASHfinancing research needs to be on Wikipedia and other open-source websites - how else do our politicians first learn about these topics? Maybe make adding literature reviews to Wikipedia a graduation req?

I was trying to think of a catchy shorter title for my dissertation and the old quote that goes something like “we only know the worth of water when the well is dry” seemed like a good one until I googled it and MATT DAMON HAS A BOOK CALLED THE WORTH OF WATER 😰🤒

It looks like it sold poorly. Still... any chance enough people would read my dissertation that I can show up on google search above Matt Damon? I promise I know more about the topic. Still might name it that!

Realizing I don't know a single female #systemsscientist or #systemdynamics modeler I can suggest as a reviewer for a paper on systems modeling for #WASH either - @S_D_Society can you help?

It's really unacceptable how broken Editorial Manager is. Losing my submission 6+ times when pressing the back button or similar... Please someone fix that and also the whole academic journal publishing system.
I need a man for a panel. Does anyone know any men?

All alone at my poster, they've recreated the in-person experience a little TOO well. Come ask me questions about modeling maintenance systems for rural water supply! #COWASH2021
