Jim O'Donnell
Jim O’Donnell is the first person in human history ever to decide that rocket science is boring because it was what he grew up watching middle-aged men in blue suits doing from 9 to 5. He set out to find something edgy, dangerous, and thrilling, and so naturally took to the study of Greek and Latin. He has taught at Bryn Mawr, Penn, Georgetown, and Arizona State University, serving as Provost at Georgetown and now University Librarian at ASU. He has been a pioneer in digital scholarship, teaching, and publishing, and his 1998 book *Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace* explores the long history of reading and media.N/A
