@AshyHaw @UniCanberra @NewsMediaRC I’m so happy to hear this, Ashleigh!!! Looking forward to shouting you a meal when we next meet. AANZCA?

@AshyHaw @AnzcAorg You’re an amazing human being and researcher, @AshyHaw! You deserve both awards, and I’m so happy for you!

Attending the ISTR PhD seminars during my doctoral studies was indeed life changing! So glad I got to attend 2 PhD seminars and connect with scholars and students who are researching philanthropy and charitable fundraising. Proud ISTR PhD seminar alum!

[ISTR @ISTRorg]

Applications for our popular PhD Seminar are open. Applications due October 30. Many of our 300+ alumni tell us it was a life changing experience for them. Super fun too.

Listening to Lev Manovich’s keynote on #ArtificialIntelligence art. Learned a lot & thinking about how AI image services & AI art will influence the generation of imagery of disasters and negative outcomes when we don’t #donate to charities or support development aid. #ANZCA2022

@earvsc Congrats!!! I’m assuming it’s that project you told me about!

@kcdipendra I would love to attend the ISTR AP regional conference in Malaysia, but it’s planned as a fully in person conference and I’m moving interstate in December. Might have to give it a miss this time round and aim for the 2023/2024 conference.

Woke up at 2am to have breakfast before my 4:30am presentation in the #ISTR2022 conference session on Pandemic Dynamics: The case of Governments and Non-profits, moderated by @cndougherty. Working paper can be downloaded via the conference website.

@kcdipendra @cndougherty @kcdipendra, I attended your presentation at the ISTR AP regional conference back when I was a PhD student. Glad to meet you virtually this time round!

[Elaine Xu (she/her) @uxeniale]

Had a cupcake at my first in-person academic conference after 2.5 years! Love @CSAAustralasia’s conference theme, #BodiesInFlux. Day 2/3 and I already know I’ll miss the conference (and my colleagues) when it ends.

Interesting findings from a study on health messaging on social media. I see parallels between in-group and out-group effects on responses towards #fundraising appeals and group identification with physicians featured in #COVID19 health messaging videos.

@GavinChaw Awesome! Enjoy the PhD process and journey!

@earvsc Saw this tweet later, but hope things have settled and made a positive turn. Sending you a virtual hug and some chocolates.

[Elaine Xu (she/her) @uxeniale]

@Josh59391228 Seems like more social media platforms will follow suit!

Received some flowers at the end of Semester 2. I’ve turned the bouquet into dried flowers to brighten up my office and remind myself that #teaching is a lot like sowing seeds. Amongst other things, you need to invest time and learn to be patient. #AcademicTwitter

Excited to listen to the students’ presentations! Another batch that will graduate from #StrategicCommunication after three years of studies. #COM307Kambarang

@JisatMurdoch Great job! 😀

[Elaine Xu (she/her) @uxeniale]

@Babalya7 If you are studying on campus next year, you can pick some chocolates (real ones, not virtual) from my chocolate box! 😄

[Elaine Xu (she/her) @uxeniale]
