At #RaAM17 @raammetaphor.bsky.social, I was pleased to present, on behalf of our team, one study from the
4D Picture project, on “Metaphors, identities, and gender in online interactions about cancer”.
It was my first in-person RaAM, and I loved every bit of it.

Something weird about Web of Science…
They have automatically added someone else’s research outputs to my profile.
I cannot even find a way to delete that person’s name and organisations on my profile.
It’s funny to see myself in the fields of Engineering and Linguistics at the same time…
