Today we kicked off the UVALAL seminars with presentations on two of our ongoing projects: the code-switching project and the natural interpreting project. We're excited to hear what the rest of the team is working on. Lots of fascinating research ahead!🧠

We had a great time listening to Miquel Simonet and Helena Escalera talk about their projects. Thank you both!

This week we had the pleasure of learning Jamovi with Prof. Miquel Simonet from the University of Arizona. We had fun too! 🤗
