I’m very excited to be giving a talk today at the Université Sorbonne in Paris.
I’ll be reflecting on how our work over the past few years can help shed light on the origins of human language.

It’s a wrap! I had an incredible time at the NYUAD Institute discussing frontier neuroscience alongside an outstanding lineup of speakers. Truly inspiring conversations and new ideas to carry forward.
Thank you to David Melcher and Olivia Cheung for organizing this and having me there.

What we mean when we say semantic: Toward a multidisciplinary semantic glossary - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review Tulving characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical and conceptual knowledge galvanized a new ...

So proud and honored to have shared the floor with amazing women scientists for a panel discussion on Women in Neuroscience at NYU Abu Dhabi. It’s appalling to see that no matter where you are, women in science face the same big challenges. But changes are happening and we now have each other 💪

Trump links autism and Tylenol: is there any truth to it? The US president repeatedly advised people, “Don't take Tylenol,” but scientists say that strong evidence between the medication and autism is lacking.

The beautiful Hall of Mirrors that today hosts an exciting symposium on “The underconceptualization of everyday life”, put together by @ericman.bsky.social 🤩
with @bpomie.bsky.social @benedek.bsky.social and myself at the ESPP conference in Warsaw. So much to think about !

Today at #ECVP25 @mmellon.bsky.social presented new data of an #fNIRS study providing the first evidence of selectivity for social interaction events in visual cortex in 6- and 10-month-old babies 👶🏻
Tempting to think that this reveals where social perception begins in the brain 🧠
@ecvp.bsky.social

At the #ECVP2025 today Violette Munin presented her new fMRI work on the visual stream for processing social information.
If you are around and want to continue the discussion, we are here for this ☺️
Stay tuned for more talk from our lab in the upcoming days!
