Friends, please consider supporting PARI’s Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for a highly precise scanner for their Astronomy Legacy Project. This scanner will support their continued digitization of analog astronomical data and make it available to the world.
PARI has long been recognized for their many contributions, as evidenced in this NC STEM article, and I urge you to support them.
thank you,
Hunter Goosmann, ERC Executive Director
