Had the best time at #icmpc18 where I presented my work at a symposium on parent-infant musical interaction. Also co-presented a poster with @lkcirelli.bsky.social on kindergarten transition with help of song- ongoing project with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Amazing week in beautiful São Paulo!
