My heart is so full! Ocean Vuong’s riveting reflections were AMAZING tonight. Can’t wait to read The Emperor of Gladness 🫶🏽

👋🏽 Hi everyone, I’m still alive! My days are mostly spent at my current alt-ac job, where I’m working in communications and handling partnerships and community engagement. I think I’ll return to posting on here because I miss the digital town hall of the golden era of Twitter ❤️‍🔥

I recently learned my dear friend and colleague Dr. Dauro Mattia Zocchi passed yesterday. No words can truly encapsulate how I’m feeling right now. Our PhD cohort was small and experimental, yet mighty. I took this of him our first week…mi manchi tanto ❤️‍🩹 🔗 www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...

✍️ 📖 After three years of dreaming and writing, I’m happy to present our book “ #Mukbang, Food Performance, and Digital Media” as part of the #Routledge series on #gastronomy, #food, and #drink. 🔗 Pre-orders start March 31st, but set a reminder now! ⏰ www.routledge.com/Mukbang-Food...

A colourful book cover with abstract art shapes reads “Mukbang, Food Performance, and Digital Media by Ashley Thuthao Keng Dam and Stanley Ulijaszek”. The book is part of the Routledge Studies of Gastronomy, Food, and Drink.

In a weird use of free-will, I rented an alto saxophone and have begun learning on my own for almost a week now! The first song I learned to play was “Can’t help falling in love with you” 🎷✨

Thao, wearing a striped shirt and baggy jeans, plays an alto saxophone with their eyes closed. In the background are thick velvet curtains.

Another day, another jam.

Thao stands on stage playing the flute with other musicians, who play guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums, and a singer.

In unexpected news, I started playing jazz flute at a local jam session meetup. Pedro (in the yellow beanie) oscillates between drums, bass, and keys, but I’m just trying to revive my 12 year old jazz band self.

5 people stand on a stage for a jam session at the “barrel room”; a piano player, guitarist, flautist, bass player, and drummer. Thao stands in the center right to the side playing the flute, while Thao’s partner Pedro stands behind them focusing on the bass guitar.

Former student and co-author sent me this during our meeting dedicated to dealing with Reviewers 1 & 2's laundry list of minor revisions 😵‍💫

A screenshot of Reviewer 3's comments: The revised version addresses all the comments from the reviewers. The manuscript can be accepted in its current form.

Went to my first book talk event at Portland’s legendary Powell’s Book Store. Got to meet @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social and have him sign some books 📚✨

Thao and author Viet Thanh Nguyen stand side by side holding Nguyen’s two books “The Sympathizer” and “To Save and To Destroy”

🏔️ 🌊 I am so in love with #nature and it actually makes me sad that some people can’t enjoy this the way I do 🩵💚 #PNW #hiking

Several trees in a forest overlook the Pacific Ocean, which peaks through the trees. In the distance is a rocky cliff

Several towering forest trees on a muddy path are light by the sun in their canopies.

I am so behind and so “out of the loop” because I’ve been writing and doom-working(?!) but I wanted to say that I had a phenomenal time at #sfaa and it was so fun + inspirational for me to meet my #anthro pals from the old Twitter times in-person 💖— best (and first) anthro conference ever 🥹

A pamphlet for the society for applied anthropology conference in Portland rests next to a planner with a bunny on it. A name tag reading “Thao Dam” is placed on top.

⭐️ @maythehan.bsky.social and I wrote about the ways that #digital #food #media creators are pushing #interspecies relationalities by dining with their #dogs. #scicomm #STS #anthro ✍️ 🖼️ Dog portrait by Maythe Han 🐶 Read/ Listen to it here 🔗: blog.castac.org/2024/11/dini...

A tan-coloured cocker spaniel sits at a fine dining table with three plates, one with three oysters, one with a whole lobster, and one with a fish, strawberry, and raw egg. Two hands serve the dog, one with a plate of prawns, mussels, and scallops, and the other, water. There is also a tea light and a delft pottery vase with peonies on the table for decorative purposes.

👋🏽 Hello, my name is Thao and I’m a medical #anthropologist, #ethnobotanist, and #food writer. I’m a #Firstgen #Khmer and #Vietnamese American scholar relocating to Portland, Oregon after 8 years of living abroad in the U.K., Italy, and Netherlands. I study (digital) food, health, and plants. 🌱 🍲

Thao smiles and holds up a peace sign. They are wearing a patterned collared shirt and baseball cap.

In nerd news, Food IG creators found this piece and I’ve gotten such sweet messages from people about it. ❤️‍🔥 This is why I love #scicomm 🥹🫶🏽🇵🇸

A chat bubble that reads “Honestly you worded something we all been thinking about succinctly and beautifully.”

Hello #food people, it’s been just over one year since I’ve moved to the #Netherlands 🇳🇱 and I finally tried some pannenkoeken 🥞! Was from a place that processes their own flour via watermill so that was wholesome and fun ✨
