BICAS in the news: our media archive
Organized by date of publication, below is a listing of newspaper
articles, TV shows, radio programs, independent films: media by others
directly about BICAS, peripherally about BICAS, or in some cases even
minor mentions of BICAS (to not see the latter, set Relevance
below to “High”).
The purpose of this archive is three-fold: to help
us maintain an institutional memory of past projects and activities, to gauge
our level of visibility in the community (for more on that, take a look
at media statistics), and to help potential donors and
grantors understand the relevance of supporting our operation.
If you know of media items missing from this archive,
