Time flies! 🚀 @grambelli.bsky.social just wrapped up her 3-year postdoc with Abstraction_ERC and is already off exploring new research frontiers. Grateful that some projects still keep us collaborating: once an Abstractioner, always an Abstractioner! ☕✨Thanks for the amazing mug!!!

Love this visual device: parents's discussions are shown not through words, only symbols, mostly pointing fingers.
From the child’s view, the words don’t matter; it’s adult stuff. What he perceives is the tone, the tension, the conflict.
A brilliant way to show how kids experience adult language.

Excited to kick off day 1 of the CIRM International Annual Conference on Metaphor and Multimodality at the University of Calabria in Rende: such a beautiful campus nestled in the hills. Enjoyed a lovely morning walk to get here! My invited keynote is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

In the seminar room this morning, there was this (rather distracting) writing on the wall: “Piume al vento” (“Feathers in the Wind"). 🦩 Quite exotic and mysterious, indeed 🙃

Excited to share that I contributed to an article just published in #Nature. My role was on the cognitive side, as part of a collaboration evolved from a fantastic #Dagstuhl seminar.
Collective works like these are crucial windows into where our communities are going!

So, on the airplane i startes to watch "The White Lotus" (HBO) and the first minutes the resort manager explains to a trainee how to behave with the guests: "you don't wanna be too specific as a... as a presence, as an identity. You wanna be more generic."
