We just finished 3D scanning prints from modern Greek adult potters of both sexes to use as a reference sample for sexing ancient prints, and I’ve been exporting those to a format my computational scientist colleagues can use to build a more rigorous statistical model than has been used so far. In order to build a reference sample for aging ancient prints from ceramics, we will collect finger and palm prints from modern Greek children who are learning to make pottery. "I plan to be in Greece this summer with my high resolution 3D scanner, an assistant, and an intern.

Joel Derfner, professor of musical theater composition at NYU's Tisch Instute of the Arts, composed the music and Nancy Llewellyn wrote the libretto. "Two years ago, for SALVI's 20th anniversary party, we turned the Plautine pastiche Auricula Meretricula (by Mary Whitlock Blundell and Ann Cumming) into a musical. I organize the exhibit table and sessions sponsored by SALVI at ICMS. I heard Francis give a paper at the International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, at a session on Monte Cassino in his honor. Francis Newton in Chapel Hill, and also saw Bob and Elizabeth Babcock. "This January I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Prof. In May 2018, my son Christopher graduated from Tufts University in Computer Science. "In summer of 2017 I married Mike Habermann, free-lance photographer, and in January 2018 we took a honeymoon trip with the UMass Boston course “Cities of Vesuvius,” led by my colleague Randall Colaizzi. I continue to be involved in other Latin immersion events, including Paideia Institute’s Living Latin in New York City, and am on the Board of Directors of SALVI ().
