Wishing I was at HSP this year!! It has been such a wonderful community to be a part of and it looks like an amazing line up this year. But, I am about to start a case study on infant language acquisition (i.e. having a baby) so life had to come first. See you next year!

Excited to see more work in this area, even if it raises issues! Having some nice discussion in the replies as well. Sad to not have seen it live!

What's that thing called again where you combine something extremely undesirable with something you really like? I'm listening to D'Angelo and submitting expense reports (I'll let you guess which is which)

A fantastic paper! Really interesting finding that further clarifies how the task we choose can influence our findings, especially in agreement attraction.

I am looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher (2-year contract at UMass linguistics) interested in experimental/computational psycholinguistics. Please email me your CV by 4/19 if you are interested!
