I have this in my office. Every time I call her, she would ask me if I've published a paper. "why not? What happened to the other paper of yours? Then what about that other one?" Forever living in the torment of an Asian mum😑 #AcademicLife #AcademicTwitter

What is happening in South Korea is another reminder: Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy. #SouthKorea
