Dr. Aaron Hershkowitz, one of our alumni (B.A. 2009) and a recent Rutgers Ph.D., has been working as Coordinator of the Krateros Project at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University. Krateros is the digital repository for the collection of epigraphic squeezes—impressions of ancient inscriptions on filter paper—at the Institute for Advanced Study. The team aims to make these squeezes openly available to people through an online database in order to democratize the study of epigraphy.  Check out Aaron's video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zANS5YrHsvE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0JP9-7roEH1ujNDDuxTL83yHw8lwCgbuAzDNWHPsq4v-6QIsVSHx76NpM
