I had the absolute privilege of interviewing one of my PhD supervisors, Prof Marilyn Vihman, as part of the Communications Committee work I do @infantstudies.bsky.social. I could listen to her talk every day, kinda miss the days (and people) in York!

(1/3) It's my turn to be on the #infantstudies Researcher Spotlight! I turned a bit of my #ICIS2024 poster on kinship terms into a blog post for the Baby Blog. If nothing else, click to see the cute images courtesy of Suzy Styles and the BLIP Lab NTU crew. Some outtakes:

can I code fast? no. but can I code well? also no. but does my code work? alas, no

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com).

Pretty amused at the droves of followers the @infantstudies.bsky.social account has been getting every day since two weeks ago (yikes, it's been 2 weeks!?). Go follow that account for research blurbs (that authors write, or, more often than not, I write and they vet) from the Infancy journal!

Can it code as well as a human? Well, no. But can it increase implementation speed? Also no. But does it reduce overtime? Not as much as NOT using it does. But does it write less buggy code? Quite the opposite, actually! But does it save money? In the long run, almost certainly not. But is it more e

just put the geekiest thing into the book

'Yes' in Romance languages descends from other ways of indicating agreement - 'thus' (sic) -> 'si', 'that it be' (hoc illud) -> 'oui'...

I have some coloring sheets your language and #linguistics classes might enjoy for some finals season de-stressing! Here’s one of my students’ work!

Look, it me! This is a side project that began in February this year, look out for my emails if you recently published a paper in the Infancy journal!

hey has anyone done this yet

People who live off scams are both pros and cons.

Please teach your students (and yourself) how to fully document your studies. This is basic data management. If you don't know how to start--go to osf.io and look a prereg templates. They are a good starting point but consider whether you have documented to a point that a novice could run your study
