Hey y'all... an announcement:
I am now at @UMassAmherst as Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering @umassengin
It’s awesome to be back in Western MA #PioneerValley.. 🏞️
(although we will miss #AnnArbor and @UMich. Both have been great for us)
This is a six month pilot program that’s starts on Dec 24 2020 and ends on June 24, 2021.
Visa applicants from #Bhutan have been included in this program due to high “overstay” rates for Bhutanese business and tourist US-visa holders (over 10% overstay).
Breaking my long Twitter hiatus to post this about a Trump program that may require Bhutanese to pay a (refundable) bond of up to $15,000 for a US visa.

If you haven't had the chance to read this article yet, we certainly recommend it. A very inspiring story. Thank you to His Majesty and the Royal Government of Bhutan for showing true leadership during these difficult times. https://t.co/hKJkordtbR
Govt is now recommending face masks in public places, hospitals, and while going out.
Please put the cloth mask in a plastic when you remove it and wash it when you reach home. : Health Minister
Four Photographers are raising funds by selling signed photo prints that will help and support the tea garden workers of North Bengal. These are brilliant pictures by professionals donating their works for this fundraiser.

Please ask yourself who needs the PPE protection more
As Bhutan remembers & celebrates the life of Drukgyal Sumpa JDW today, as a small state, how the Zhingpheb maneuvered uncertain times, joined the UnitedNations & ensured international recognition as a Sovereign & Independent State, paved way for modern Bhutan we enjoy today 🇧🇹🙏🏻
Grateful to be from a small country with a small population surrounded by beautiful wide open spaces( that make coping with a pandemic easier). Almost 2 months (52 days to be precise) of ZERO community transmission since the index case. #Bhutan has done well!
His Majesty continues to be on the move - inspecting and overseeing all efforts related to Covid-19 in the Southern parts of the country. His Majesty is a frontline worker too. 😭
The rest of us must do our best to ensure we do not fail our Nation and Our King! 🙏🏼🇧🇹💛
Call 17123237/38/39/49/41 or the Covid hotline #2121 if you need someone to talk to. The mobile numbers are available on chat apps too. Do reach out to Bhutanese counsellors online if you aren’t in Bhutan.
