Announcing the first (and perhaps only) Multilingual Minds and Machines Meeting! Come join us in Nijmegen, June 22-23, 2026, if you are interested in computational models of human multilingualism: mmmm2026.github.io

Hello & HAPPY FRIDAY, as promised an open letter by my lovely colleagues and myself. Everybody, feel free to sign this even if you are not NL-based and ‼️ share ‼️ (anonymous signature is poss): Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia openletter.earth/open-letter-...

Ik vind deze campagne erg belangrijk - doe je ook mee? actie.degoedezaak.org/petitions/ee...

Interested in a paid PhD position in the Netherlands? Join me, Annemarie van Dooren, and @arianna-bis.bsky.social on a project to develop computational models of modal verb acquisition. A job ad will be out soon, but here's a preview: yevgen.web.rug.nl/phd.pdf

Inaugural post on bsky: The ECOLANG Multimodal Corpus, providing audiovisual recordings and annotations of multimodal communicative behaviours by English-speaking adults in dyadic interaction with a child or another adult is now available rdcu.be/eblMF

Come work with us! Our department is hiring an associate/assistant prof in language and speech technology www.ru.nl/en/working-a... #interspeech #speech #SpeechTech #SpeechScience

... and next up is Yadav, Frank, Futrell, and Husain, "Revisiting processing complexity of nested and cross-serial dependencies", which can be found here... escholarship.org/uc/item/5w04...

🌟 Welcome to MultiplEYE on BlueSky! 🌟 MultiplEYE is an interdisciplinary network of research groups working on collecting #eyetracking data from reading in many languages. Visit our website to learn more: www.multipleye.eu. Stay tuned for exciting developments and be part of our vibrant community!

We wrote an opinion piece in Dutch that we should divest in for-profit publishing. Instead we should invest in Diamond Open Access, such that we keep innovating in a time of budget cuts www.scienceguide.nl/2024/12/bezu... @jeroenson.bsky.social

Stuur met een druk op de knop een mail naar een van de partijen die nu onderhandelen over de bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs! www.fnv.nl/cao-sector/o...

After learning the publisher sold access to its data for LLM training, I resigned as editor of Language, Cognition & Neuroscience (I will continue handling papers already assigned). If any not-for-profit journal is looking for an editor who knows a bit about psycholinguistics, please get in touch!

Last chance to get meta in your cogsci reviewing!

I'm hiring a postdoc! If you have experience with computational modelling of language and an interest in bilingualism, then check out the ad here: www.ru.nl/en/working-a... (and please spread the word!)
