“What’s the point of a jellyfish?” I’d like to think I’ve been asked some tough questions in my life, but this one takes the cake. Fortunately, it was directed to Jasmine, our resident marine-life …

Replying to @AndCortical
@AndCortical postdoc Kinsey Bice is in the news for some cool parts of her dissertation research with Judy Kroll. Her work showed that people who live in places where they hear many languages “in the background” learn new language rules differently than those who don’t!

UWIN postdoctoral fellow Kinsey Bice's work was featured in @uwnews! She showed that exposure to multiple languages can make it easier to pick up a new language. Kinsey is now in the labs of @ChantelPratPhD and @RajeshPNRao. @wrfseattle @UWPsychology washington.edu/news/2019/09/…
