We had such a fantastic time at Rebel with a Clause! 📚✨ From Ellen Jovin’s Grammar Table in Stamp to the screening and Q&A at Hoff Theater, it was a day full of language fun, curiosity, and great conversations. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event so special!

(THREAD 1/3) Volunteers Needed for Language Study!
The Action and Brain Laboratory (ABL) at Gallaudet is researching ASL. They will collect brainwaves (EEG) while participants watch videos of ASL signs and name a series of pictures. Participants are paid for their participation (20/hr)
