[Slling-l] FW: TISLR 12

[Adam Schembri]

Hello everyone,
I’m resending these two TISLR 12-related messages in plain text format, as
Ronnie Wilbur has been in touch a number of times pointing out that the
SLLING-L digest messages do not appear to accept messages in HTML, and she
has thus not been able to read TISLR 12-related messages from me.
See message 1 below about the TISLR 12 program, and message 2 about 4
grants for PhD students and presenters from developing countries that will
cover registration costs, provided by La Trobe University.
I apologise if this has been an issue for other colleagues using the
SLLING-L digest format to receive SLLING-L mail (thanks to Ronnie for
letting me know!). 
Cheers,
Adam
