Please consider helping #Yagi super typhoon victims by donating to @BlueDragonVN , a charity registered in Australia, NZ, Germany, USA, and UK. I've been supporting them for several years. Always impressed by their professionalism and transparency.
Some images from Blue Dragon's typhoon relief efforts today. We are still in an 'emergency response' phase, getting help quickly to those in urgent need. All of this is possible because of caring people in Vietnam and around the world who are donating. 🙏🏽
Australia is providing $3 million in humanitarian assistance to Vietnam following the devastating Typhoon Yagi - the most powerful storm to hit northern Vietnam in over 30 years.
Last night, the RAAF delivered emergency supplies for families including shelter and hygiene kits.
Waking up to the 2nd paper acceptance in less than a month!!! What is more exciting is it will be the 2nd one from my Ph.D published in Soc Sci Med. Such a privilege working with @andreawhittak18 and @DrMarkDMDavis1 to get that out.
