Today, in Murcia.

Undoubtedly, one of the major highlights of my professional career. What an experience to present the @fomatplay.bsky.social project at the EU parliament. Thanks to @perez-paredes.bsky.social for giving me the chance and to @paguado.bsky.social for the warmth and the wise advice.

Excited to see this out! 'Applying Corpus Linguistics to Illness and Healthcare' - new #openaccess book, with @elenasemino.bsky.social @paulari.bsky.social @lukeccollins.bsky.social & @tonymcenery.bsky.social. @lancslinguistics.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/gb/universit...
