[nabs-l] Students needed for research study

[Antonio M. Guimaraes]

FM DAndria was a colleague through my work at the national braille press, 
and I believe the research is worthwhile. She was on the AFB staff, and is 
now working on her doctorate dissertation on something related to braille 
literacy.

I would strongly encourage those who qualify for the study to take her up on 
it, and help inform research on braille and technology.
.

Sincerely,

Antonio Guimaraes

If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite number of pickup 
trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite number of 
highway signs, they will eventually produce all the world's great literary 
works in Braille.
