[INDOLOGY] Digital projects: Laser Versus Parchment

[Dominik Wujastyk]

My colleague Patricia Sauthoff drew my attention to this episode of the
Cautionary Tales podcast by Tim Harford:

I heartily recommend a listen to this talk, especially for anyone
conducting or planning a research project with a significant digital
component.  The episode has technical and political dimensions and is very
enjoyable, well-researched, and ultimately shocking.

Thanks again, Patricia!

Best,
Dominik
