Very nice slide on the strengths of neurodivergence. I had never heard of dyscalculia before but it's got me thinking... #Neurodiversity #CIOLConf22

@belljohnsonTR Congrats!

Very good point from Emma Gledhill @linguistforsail that we should prioritise the term "language profession" over "language industry" - we are professional, skilled humans working with technology, we are not just word machines #CIOLConf22

Well if Paul Hughes @mflspeaker didn't get everyone fired up this morning I don't know what will! Fantastic opening keynote #CIOLConf22

@AnnedeFreyman Perhaps I'll casually get my knitting out at the next in person conference and see who shows up! 😄

[Awendan Language Services @AwendanLanguage]

@AnnedeFreyman yay, a fellow knitter/translator!

@RevolutBusiness I think you have a problem with support chat, I've been trying to open a new chat since yesterday and keep getting the error "sorry, there was a problem" and the chat closes without being able to send a message.

Takeaway from the session on the human value in translation - let's move away from the mechanical language of 'industry' & 'process' towards the more human focused 'business' & 'practice' instead. #CIOL2020 #linguist #xl8

Did you know that DRC was in its 10th Ebola outbreak? I had no idea. Fascinating talk from @TranslatorsWB highlighting the incredible challenges to serving speakers of marginalised languages in the communities most in humanitarian need. #CIOL2020

Spent the last hour immersed in Chinese, now going to bed to read French novel. Sometimes wonder how I manage to speak English anymore :-)

“@GuardianTeach: How will your school tackle new language curriculum? http://t.co/W5jPw1RWCU #mfl” < Shall I state the obvious? Too easy ;-)
