[Edling] Edling Digest, Vol 139, Issue 4

Tue Jan 16 16:19:58 UTC 2024

Great work on the video, Wayne, Sovicheth, and Virak--several months ago I
got an email from Scitube about their services, so I watched a couple of
their academic videos, but I was not impressed; however, yours is a great
model--we (linguists) really need these ways to connect with a wider
audience.
Cheers,
Rob
