    • "When I presented our research at [the 2016] WikiConference North America in San Diego, [Wikimedia community member] Lane Rasberry told me “You have to meet Adam Holt!” This led to a collaboration with Holt’s Internet-in-a-Box project... One way they’re spreading these results is through the a video with SIPA’s Picker Center Digital Education Group. Produced by Adam Stepan, formerly of PBS and the Discovery Channel, the video was shot by student teams on mobile phones with cheap stabilizers. It premiered at WikiConference North America 2018, held in Columbus, Ohio."
