Professor of Brain and Language and Director of Postgraduate Programmes, Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh. EiC Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. I study language processing and disorders.

The @re-writer.bsky.social project will span from basic science to real-world applications, from neuroaesthetics of poetry processing to promoting creative engagement with poetry. The brilliant @pat-err.bsky.social thinks big and follows through on those ideas. I'm so excited to be part of the team!
