Hi Johannes, Thank you for your kind invitation, but I am on the West coast in Claremont, CA. I hope you event is well attended, but I wanted to acknowledge that I have always admired MIT, even though I am in the humanities and part of the Women in Religion (Red) project. I am a part-time editor as I am completing my dissertation this semester which keeps me pretty busy! Good luck at MIT and maybe and hopefully meet up int he future! Happy Wiki-geeking!

I will try to be there. Ofcurisity: is the MIT Campus open again? I recall during COVID one had to have a school ID to to scan in order to enter the infinite corridor at 77 Massachusetts Ave. etc? The school was trying to keep a sterile bubble. CaribDigita (talk) 09:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
