Whilst colleagues are making travel plans for conferences, please make some time for our workshop. The goal is to develop some 'Best Practice' guidelines for digital projects in the Ancient Near East, and this workshop will act as a brainstorm of the issues, concerns, and existing guidelines fellow researchers are already using. The good news is ASOR is hybrid this year, so you can attend from wherever you are! More details can be found here: https://www.asor.org/am/2023/approved-sessions-2023 (2023-03-03 ↗)

Content warning:Recovering pet, work webinar Working from home today to make sure #SachaTheCat is recovered from his emergency trip to the Animal hospital. He's still #drugged and seems to be doing a lot better than last night. #Work is sitting in a #webinar training people in the #GALEdatabase for #ComputationalLinguistics. Hopefully I'll be able to use this to build a dataset in English to compare my #Akkadian results for the #EmbodiedEmotions project. (2022-11-11 ↗)
