Greetings! Nate TeBlunthuis' PhD dissertation defense is scheduled for this Thursday September 23 at 9-11am Seattle time. The public portion will likely take about 90 minutes. The title is: "Ecology of Online Communities" and the defense is open to the public. Anyone is welcome to come. That date/time is officially tentative until there is final confirmation from all members of Nate's reading committee that the dissertation is ready to defend but that might not happen for a few more days and we wanted to let you know with some time in advance. The plan is to hold the defense on in my personal Zoom room, which I am slightly embarassed to admit exists: URL: https://washington.zoom.us/my/makohill Number: 951 959 3783 Nate will give a talk for 30-40 minutes or so to present his dissertation research and then there will be time for questions from his committee and from the audience.
