🗣️Join Giulia Mazzola's talk on the 28th of April at 2.10PM "Does semantics motivate syntactic micro-variation? Empirical evidence from causative embedding in Southern Calabrese (Italo-Romance)"! See also ppls.ed.ac.uk/linguistics-... @schoolofppls.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

This is probably one of the highest honours I’ve received. This #teaching #nomination from @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social is a wonderful reminder of the amazing students I’ve had the privilege to work with. Here’s to continued reflection & improvement, and the students that make it all worthwhile! 🎉

📄🚨New #OSF #preprint! How does cognitive load affect different stages of language prediction? Using visual-world eye-tracking, we found that the prediction process is disrupted and no longer shows evidence of separable stages, and prediction is delayed. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Are you an #English native speaker? Please help my student Elia Müller to finish her thesis at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social by participating in her online #study (link: edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...)! 🧠🔍

Happy to share the new #logo I created for #UKSC #Slackline! www.ukslacklineclub.com The UK Slackline Club held a logo competition last year, and ended up choosing my design. This is the end result (without text) 🎉

🚨New #OSF #preprint alert! We test how 5 researcher choices affect divergence point analyses with bootstrapping in visual-world eye-tracking. Bin size and significance-window length matter most, and there's a consistent overestimation bias. See also osf.io/preprints/ps... for some recommendations.

Join tomorrow's #PsychoLinguisticsCoffee talk by @sophieslaats.bsky.social "Overlapping & distinct neural sources for syntactic structure & lexical probability during spoken language comprehension". See also: blogs.ed.ac.uk/psycholingco... ☕🗣️ @schoolofppls.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Supervising a Psychology student creating an online #mousetracking experiment with #jsPsych - showing videos and asking participants to choose left or right. If you’ve worked on something similar and are happy to share a code template or know of good resources, we’d really appreciate it! 🙂

Brain/behaviour people - come to beautiful Scotland - we are recruiting in psychology and neuroscience across all grades! Closes May 12. Details below, and please re-post 🙏 www.nature.com/naturecareer... More about us here: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/psyc... #neuroskyence #neurojobs

Psa to my eyelink-using friends: the latest version of windows will cause your experiment timings to fail. Don’t update this time!! (And don’t ask me how I found out 😭😭😭😭😭😭)

Enjoying sunny #Prague at the #AMLaP 2025 conference! ☀️ Come see these posters 🌈: - Fri AM: @John Gambôa on divergence point analysis methods #153 - Fri PM: 👁️‍🗨️ my work on speech rate and prediction in older adults with hearing loss #56 - Sat AM: @Lara Kelly-Iturriaga on bilingual processing #136

Super proud of the students I've had the privilege to work with and supervise this academic year. Here's Tiggs Nicholson, Elia Muller, Sofia Beaucage, Margaret Swanson, Deniz Şahin, and Leyla Yanik wrapping up the year with a sweet celebration at the chocolate factory! 🍫🎉

We're hiring! Join us to work at the intersection of social interaction and language technology. Postdoc and PhD positions in my Futures of Language research group, based at Radboud University in Nijmegen, NL Read more: markdingemanse.net/futures/news... #linguistics #interaction #sts #emca #hci

And here we are, the final “Three Minute Thesis” competition! 🙌Such an incredible program with powerful presenters! Starring Bea Andrews, our amazing Physics & Astronomy finalist 🌟 @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Inspiring talks at the engagement event of the Hearing Sciences Department Scottish section today! There was also a stunning exhibition where everyone shared a photo that captures the essence of their hearing experience 📸🗣️ www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/gro... #HearingSciences #CommunityOutreach

Closing tomorrow! Apply for my fully-funded PhD studentship, open to UK students

When the rare Scottish ☀️ shines during our lab meeting, we take it outside and play @maxhuibai.bsky.social 's Publish or Perish game about #academia! The goal: publish nonsense, sabotage others & unleash your inner Reviewer 2 📚🎲 Can recommend! @schoolofppls.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Such a great presentation by Prof. Hannah Rohde! Key takeaways: boats ⛵, sushi 🍣, and of course, Hannah 👤✨

Programming is essential for research in neuroscience and psychology. This Primer introduces ten principles guiding researchers toward writing clear, adaptable, and easily shareable code, supporting reproducible science. @martinhebart.bsky.social @tsawallis.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

#Throwback to an amazing day judging the "Three Minute Thesis" Physics & Astronomy talks at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social's Anatomy lecture theatre! 🎓✨ Always great catching up with my Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas #ScienceCommunication crew. Best of luck to all students for the finals on 25 June! 🍀

Join us in London! The Language and Cognition Lab (with @fourtassi.bsky.social, Yan Gu) is looking for a Research Fellow for 4-years to work on how children and adults from different cultures learn in social interaction. Ad is here (www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMN891/r...). DM if you have any question!

Join us now for Alex Titus’ talk from @mpi-nl.bsky.social: "How Enhancing Linguistic and Non-linguistic Context Influences Bilingual Communication" at #PsychoLinguisticsCoffee. See also: blogs.ed.ac.uk/psycholingco... ☕🗣️ @schoolofppls.bsky.social ls.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Grateful to have been featured in MPITalkling @mpi-nl.bsky.social www.mpi-talkling.mpi.nl?p=2446&lang=en I still feel that the highlight of my academic journey is being so easily surrounded by such interesting, smart, and supportive people. Community makes all the difference! 🙌 #AcademicLife
