PhD student in morphology, with a soft spot for experimental methods. Can't spell "functionalism" without "fun". They/she.

I have a programme meant to output words that would be a highly surprising way to continue a given sentence. It turns out that, empirically, the most surprising way to continue most sentences is... swearwords (I've even learned some new ones thanks to it!). How very 2020.

Just caught myself telling a friend that "my new experiment is going to drop" - I hereby submit this expression for your consideration in replacement of the much less badass "be made accessible to the public". #academiclife

Tired of teaching/presenting at a sea of inactive cameras? Googly eyes are the ridiculous solution you didn't know you needed. BONUS: the audience appears perpetually pleasantly surprised at the material.
