Cool paper comparing household water security, emotional well-being and instrument-measured water access in Afar, Ethiopia by @Cosmii and @IRC_Ethiopia @IRCWASH @MCGE_CU

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"

Great news @Sypticus and @spaceandtime!

I'm defending my dissertation Tuesday, March 8th! My presentation is titled The Worth of Water: Evaluating Interventions to Achieve Financially & Operationally Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Systems in Low-Income Settings. All are welcome, see the zoom link! #theworthofwater

Turn Up the Dial! uses a model calibrated to functionality data that you can explore in this interface

New article out today in the Journal of Environmental Engineering! With @SWSpartnership. About simulating financing for rural water maintenance with system dynamics modeling - plus a model user interface to explore https://t.co/UAR6L2u8yQ #wash #ruralwater

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?

On the SDG 6 wikipedia page no less!

Thanks @altmetric! Really cool that people have been adding my research to Wikipedia. #whopaysforwater

Change from within is definitely needed before I start job searching hint hint

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!

The Worth of Water is "the incredible true story of two unlikely allies [a celebrity and a wealthy nonprofit CEO] on a mission to end the global water crisis for good."

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 😰🤒

Register for @SWSpartnership Closeout Event and Learning Series 💧💙 Sept. 20, 22, 27, 29 & 30. The event features 5 years of SWS applied #WASH lessons & achievements in collective action, professionalized maintenance & systems understanding. Link ➡️

Critics of degrowth simply don't read degrowth literature. This take on emissions keeps making the rounds, so here's a brief thread on what it gets wrong:

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?

Should mention you can find me at the far left side of the virtual room/void

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
