When you hear "She's eating the…", your brain doesn't wait to find out what comes next, it starts predicting what the next word could be. In 3 eye-tracking studies, I investigated when L1 and L2 speakers predict (or not) based on semantic and/or gender cues. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In three visual-world eye-tracking studies, we investigated the individual and combinatory use of lexico-semantic information of the verb and gender m…

What ICE will do in every safe and beautiful blue city it goes into— from Minneapolis in Minnesota to Portland in Maine—is crow about the 1-2 people with serious long-ago convictions that they detained while saying nothing at all about the 1,000 other innocents and nonviolent people they terrorized.

* Paper hunt* At the last ISB conference, someone (I can't remember who!) mentioned a study on the fact that L2 speakers might use scales differently than L1 speakers (similarly to the idea that cultural background affects the use of extremes in scales).Who can help me find this paper?

Any French academic out there who could give me some recommendation on how to best prepare an "audition" for a "Maître de conférence" post (section 16)? Collègues français, auriez-vous des conseils (ou des ressources à consulter) pour préparer au mieux une audition pour un poste de MCF (section 16)?

🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump. He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism”. This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like. 1/

Extract from story which reads: According to a diplomatic source to AFP, the incident occurred on March 9. The space researcher was reportedly subjected to a random check upon arrival, during which his work computer and personal phone were searched. The same source also reported that messages discussing the Trump administration's treatment of scientists were found. He was reportedly accused of messages "that reflect hatred toward Trump and can be described as terrorism." His professional and personal equipment was reportedly confiscated, and the researcher was sent back to Europe the next day. Reminder of freedom of opinion According to another source briefed on the case to AFP, the French researcher was accused by the American authorities of "hateful and conspiratorial messages." He was reportedly informed of an FBI investigation, for which "charges were dropped," the source continued.

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for @nature.com 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The US government has begun slashing US$400 million in research grants at Columbia University over pro-Palestinian campus protests.

Last stretch! Please help if you can. If you teach at a Spanish university, don’t hesitate to share with your students. I wouldn’t mind doing an online session afterwards if you want me to introduce the topic of emotion to your students (or I could do a methodological session on online surveys). Thx

📢 Spanish speakers, we need you! (Yes, again.) We are still on a quest to find adult native Spanish speakers from Spain for our short (15-minute) online study on emotion perception. If you can, please take part or share. Muchas gracias 🙏 survey2.sl-services.be/index.php/68... (image by ChatGPT)
