Honored to receive the DSERG (Distinguished Service and Engaged Research Graduate Student Award in Relation to Diversity Efforts) at #AAAL2025. Huge thanks to all who stuck around until the last session of the conference to hear about nonbinary teens' investment in language learning. Till next year!

It has become increasingly dangerous to fly while #trans and it will get worse if we don't speak up against this. This takes two minutes. Please do and share.
