On Dec 5th, I had the pleasure of teaching a 3.5h (!!) formative session for Geneva’s English teachers.
A great group, open to exploring new ideas about teaching and learning.
We covered a lot of ground:
🧠 Brain basics
🧩 Neural representations of language(s)
📚 Language learning & vocabulary

💥Third year of talking Neuroscience with the researchers of tomorrow!
🧠This week we met 75 elementary school students and explored the Neuroscience of memory and language.
👩🏫 It is always a pleasure to do this fun/exhausting/beautiful thing with the amazing Isotta Rigoni.

I had the pleasure of speaking at this month's CO-AIR webinar, where we discussed our review on Dyslexia in Bilinguals.
It was a fun talk with great questions afterwards!
A big thank you to everyone who attended and if you missed it, you can watch the recording👇

Vedersi rappresentate è essenziale. Negli ultimi anni con le classi incontro sempre più bambine che vogliono diventare ricercatrici e scienziate. Se anche solo una si sentirà incoraggiata dalla nostra esperienza, ne sarà valsa la pena (allego prova fotografica che ne vale la pena).

Aaaand...it's a wrap!!🎉
Last week I successfully defended my doctoral thesis. It has been a tough but incredible and amazing ride. Looking forward to phase 2 of the nccrlanguage.bsky.social and to continue working on our data. But first, some time to celebrate properly...don't email me for a while!👋

We did some science in this amazing place last week! It was a pleasure to present one of my PhD project with this view outside the window during ABIM. (And yes, you cannot see me in the first picture but it's me, I promise)
