Hello Experimenters!
I’d like to introduce my new teammate this week. This newsletter has been assembled with the help of my Research Assistant, Tusha Pham. Tusha took classes with me last semester at Penn State, and she is a thoughtful, brilliant filmmaker. I couldn’t be happier to work with her this semester in making this resource even stronger and more accessible.
Tusha is currently in Los Angeles interning and studying while working on This Week in Experimental. She is going to be the lead author on at least one volume coming soon. I hope you’ll all welcome her as warmly as you’ve welcomed me
In solidarity,
Gabby
