New Interview on the work on the scrolls

Thank you again AaronSF! People keep talking about progress over the years, but it seems progress is disappointingly slow. It helps all of us to keep up with the latest news on this issue. (This is from March 16, 2023)

I think we've probably posted this link before, but this is the page for the "Vesuvius Challenge" mentioned in the video.
It's also interesting that starting around 22 minutes in the video Dr Seales says that a part of his interest is his desire to uncover early Christian material since he is a Christian himself. I wonder if he's read "St Paul and Epicurus."
