Don’t miss out on the upcoming ASAIN event on climate risk research and modelling on 27 Aug.
Looking forward to joining the panel of excellent speakers to discuss this important topic, particularly coming off the back of a 2nd heatwave this Summer in 🇨🇭

Thanks to John Lyons for sharing the newspaper ad of 500+ Australian Jews calling on Australia to say NO to Trump and Netanyahu’s plan for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
The advertisement was organised by an independent collective of Jews.

Glad to share that our paper (with @rljfutrell) is now on JML. In this paper, we proposed strategic memory allocation as a mechanism to handle less predictable but more informative linguistic units.

Germany tried this. It is a disaster. Pushes ppl out of research. The positions they are supposed to transition into don't exist. I can't keep my research team here because of arbitrary contract limits like this. Tragic and demoralizing for all of us. #WissZeitVG #IchbinHanna

So sad to miss the in-person #CogSci2024 due to some travel constraint but check out our virtual poster here!
What does it mean for language comprehension to be “good-enough”? With @rljfutrell, we present a computational formalization of model of shallow and deep processing using rate-distortion theory in our new #CogSci2024 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.08223 (1/n)

A new preprint with my inimitable colleagues: Norvin Richards and Victor Ferreira. We show speakers represent zero complementizers as cognitively active mental objects during speaking. Mental representations of sentences go beyond what we hear and say: lingbuzz.net/lingbuzz/008261…

I promise you that you’ll feel a lot better about everything if you stop thinking of Joe Biden as an increasingly incapacitated living person and instead view him as an exceptionally capable dead person.
