It's amazing that we can communicate with so many researchers across the world in English, but how do we do that and still allow local languages to thrive in different contexts? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Academic language has become a proxy for European culture wars

Some European governments are rethinking the use of English in universities, exposing tensions between internationalization and national priorities.

Moving beyond a Western-centric perspective in research is not just about being more inclusive and diverse within the community, but more importantly it enriches our understanding of cognition itself. Great statement, see below. 🌐I think this is even more critical for communication studies.

What a fun Thursday. Feel like I am back in graduate school. Spent my morning on fNIRS and the afternoon moving lab equipments and setting up my student’s experiment.

many of my colleagues asked me: how likely it is to get a U.S. visa for ICA.

I congratulate @icahdq.bsky.social on this decision. I count myself among the scholars who would think twice about traveling to the U.S. under the current administration.
