New paper together with Elin Runnqvist and Friedemann Pulvermüller (accepted right before his passing 😔).
Must be the first time I am sad to announce a publication, though I am glad Friedemann still got to see this cool collaborative work published.

The first publication of the #ERC project ‘LaDy’ is a fact and it’s an important one I think:
We show that word processing and meaning prediction is fundamentally different during social interaction compared to using language individually!

In this theory paper they propose a unified framework showing how abstract language monitoring and concrete speech motor control are intertwined.

Great presentation, excellent experimental work, outstanding supervisors, and a great committee! Thank you for inviting me. And yes, you should be proud! I believe that all people working on abstract concepts and semantic memory will benefit from this work. 👏
Done! Daria successfully defended her PhD thesis!
And that in front of an incredible jury who are the absolute top on this topic: @annaborghi.bsky.social , @pennypexman.bsky.social , @gabriellavigliocco.bsky.social
So proud of her!
bravo of course also to Jo Ziegler and Núria Gala!

Of course #Israel should be banned from sport events, #Eurovision, cultural events, etc.
Yes, we should try to avoid mixing politics with sports and culture, but when those are strategically used to whitewash the horrendous crimes against humanity of #Netanyahu, there should be no debate about it.
