it's been super fun to be at the Science in Action table at the Santa Barbara MOXI Museum over the past few weekends! conducting psycholinguistics research with kids and adults! 🌟 @drlearnasaurus.bsky.social

💙 I’m deeply grateful to my advisors, my mentors, my family, my friends around the world, the UC Santa Barbara Department of Linguistics, OneReach.ai for the Academic Fellowship, and everyone who supported me throughout these 4.5 years of grad school!
