With apologies for cross-posting.
This afternoon's Digital Classicist seminar has been cancelled due to a
family illness. We hope to reschedule this event some time, at least on
YouTube if not in the ICS, and will announce when we are able. Please
accept our apologies for this.
Next week's seminar will proceed as planned.
All best,
Gabby
