Hi Dr. Quinn,

I am hoping you can answer a quick question about this posting or refer me
to correct person. In terms of references, are you asking that all
references be from academic training contexts, rather than professional
contexts? Or is this intended to distinguish between person and
academic/museum/professional references?

Thanks for the clarification.

Best wishes,
Elisabeth
