Hey people! My son's science fair project is about how people visualize things when they read. It's very short and he'd appreciate it if you could fill it out, and share for more responses! (info: 'print books' also includes ebooks) Thank you! ☺️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Whisperer in White made it through the lottery for SPFBO! Congrats to everyone else who also made it through. Excited to see how everything shakes out.
