My new article, "Milton's Precarious Data," is out now in Milton Studies! It explores how Paradise Lost addresses problems of uncertainty in observed data, a brand new term at the time. scholarlypublishingcollective.org/psup/milton-...

Milton’s Precarious Data

After nearly two years running our homespun ESTC 📚📜, we’ll soon retire it at the request of the ESTC. Proud to have been part of the @print-and-prob.bsky.social team 💪, led by Nikolai Vogler, that helped our scholarly community in a time of need 💜

When our Print & Probability collaborator UCSD grad student Nikolai Vogler heard that ESTC was down due to the BL cyberattack, he jumped into action. Here’s the site he built to help #earlymodern scholars access the essential metadata needed for teaching and research 📚 📜 estc.printprobability.org

Had a good time collaborating with @mellymeldubs.bsky.social and the AI for Humanists team on this! It also features some data we've been cooking up for @print-and-prob.bsky.social. Worth thinking about whether you have a research task that a local LLM could help with...

I'm so pumped to be teaching this course, and I'm really grateful to @pricelab.bsky.social and @folgerlibrary.bsky.social for making these scholarships available. Let's hang out in May and talk about all the amazing ways you can combine book history and DH!

Elon Musk killed our WCW "plums in the icebox" Twitter bot, so I just resurrected it in this custom feed: bsky.app/profile/did:... If you are amused by wild poetic text reuse, you might enjoy. Shout out to my so sweet collaborator @jrladd.com, and take that, Elon!

Everyone is laughing at me and @jrladd.com for wearing identical shades of millennial mustard. This is the inevitable outcome of grad school buddies #dh2024

If you’ve seen our network analysis tool, Network Navigator, check out this article! It situates our work (@jrladd.com, @zoeleblanc.bsky.social) in the larger DH tools ecosystem and explores the role of network analysis in scholarly infrastructure. https://rb.gy/ppspn6
