Striving to make linguistics and cognitive science fun and accessible 🎉🥳
So, follow along, while I figure out BlueSky, and move from IG. If you’re a fellow linguist/cognitive scientist, and want to collab on SciComm together, I’d love to chat!

Bilingualism and second language acquisition are human experiences. They are part of the human condition. I believe everyone deserves access to such insanely cool information about how we process language, and how bilingualism impacts the brain!

But between now and ten years ago, we’ve seen an explosion of technology and social media that otherwise would allow for researchers to communicate bilingualism/language processing! So, it really surprised me that still, not much accessible information was out there.

It’s been ten years and three degrees since then. I taught a second language acquisition class in Fall ‘23 and and Summer ‘24. While teaching, I did another Google search, ten years after I started this journey, and saw practically the same information. That is, hardly any!

Why did I make this account/why did I start SciComm? When I was 17 I learned Danish, and was endlessly curious about how the brain processes language. But, there was virtually no (accessible) information available about how language processing works!
