My first solo author review came back the same week as a 52 student module submission, I'm honestly ignoring it for now...

😲😍 - this is awesome! I don't have any quant teaching opportunities at the moment but have been seriously thinking that if I was to teach from bottom up I'd want to just start Bayesian but I'm not there on the skills to do that completely myself, absolutely on the teaching materials list

I don't, but if I was looking I'd start with Heike Pichler's work (just because I've worked with her so she always comes to mind first) - great list of publications here www.dipvac.org/dipvac-key-p...

Our goal was therefore to engage with the classic & contemporary arguments given by folks in the child-innovator camp, specifically by reviewing (and crediting!) all those who worked hard to dispute their claims over the years. Hope that gives some clarity, alongside the obvious press release 'buzz'

As a reader I appreciate a sentence like "A says X, but haven't taken into account Y, which means we can only rely on this as far as Z..." - having trained formally and phonetically quite separately it's really helpful actually having someone think through the crossover

Also because people will take your figures out and use them for teaching - so there'll be a whole load of students for whom that's their first (and often only) exposure to the paper

This is an exit by necessity, I'd love to keep doing Linguistics research, and I am still looking at individual funding routes but I've had 4-5 jobs in less than 4 years...there are just no jobs in UKHE, and I've built a community and a home here in Newcastle and I just need a bit of stability
