I think I've pissed myself

Emma, is that really you?

It appears that international conferences on traditional medicine are really quite the thing. Scientific Meetings are not only organising a hydrid ICTM-2022 in September, but also a virtual one in April. Or are they? (thinking)

This time, the organiser is Emma Watson. I'm not sure if she's the Emma Watson, or just an Emma Watson. But she could indeed be the realeo dealeo; according to IMDb, Watson hasn't been busy since 2019. A girl's gotta earn a crust, and a conference on traditional medicine sounds just perfect for a Hollyweirdo. I recently discovered that '70s British children's TV favourite, Lesley Judd, now organises conferences for a living, so there's a precedent.

Ne'vermind, the/an Emma Watson seems to be fairly lackadaisical about her email address, or at least the domain anyway. She's always emmawatson@domain, almost as if she's bragging that we're dealing with Hollywoke royalty here. Even the automated mailer address is emmawatson@mailer.unitedforum.uk, rather than the standard and more mundane noreply@mailer.unitedforum.uk or mailer@unitedforum.uk.

(Connect With Research World). Indeed. I have no idea what the parentheses are supposed to signify. Still, it's less risible than Wings to the Research, I guess.

Are these two learned events organised by the same Scientific Meetings? Linda Joseph reached out from scientific-meetings.com, which doesn't have a website. Em's coming out of scientificmeetings.co.uk, which redirects to United Research Forum.

Apparently, United Research Forum Provides the participants to get acquainted with the latest developments, insights and trends in knowledge and skills.

United Research Forum is a platform where knowledge and zeal to meet with the vision of educating with the latest scientific and technology-specific innovations and the best implementations for mankind.

You know, although URF has a UK address, I'm getting a funny feeling that Emma Watson may, in fact, be Emani Watham. And she's more likely to be based in Lucknow than London.
