"The essays in this collection are transformative, moving beyond basic collaboration and skilfully contextualizing both scientific knowledge in the humanities and humanities knowledge in the sciences. Doing so not only heightens the quality of the research, but heightens understanding, redrawing traditional lines between disciplines and redefining what it means to truly collaborate and to be a scholar in the digital age." - Bill Endres, University of Oklahoma
