For years, I’ve been saying it was interesting that I would probably hear back about whether I would get tenure (or not) just around my 40th birthday. Well — the best version of this just happened.

Correction: our talk on hearing water temperature is now a bit earlier, at 3:20 today!!
Looking forward to CDS 2024! Come hear about: Kids’ perspective-taking over video chat (Chaolan Lin); hearing water temperature (Tanushree Agrawal); expectations about shared sleep arrangements (Rodney Tompkins); and social reasoning about placement of possessions (Rob Santiago)!
