Grambank v1.0 is out. We are still coding more languages & revising coding. If you find something odd in version 1.0, get in touch via paths in link. We will be avoiding using Facebook, twitter and other social media platforms for discussions about coding

Happy #Grambank Day!
With today's publication in @ScienceAdvances, the large research team I've had the honor of working with is happy to announce the public release of the #Grambank typological database.
Paper: https://t.co/l3kpAi3ZKf
Dataset: https://t.co/R6vmJUyZhP
New database #Grambank documents patterns of grammatical variation in over 2400 of the world’s #languages & shows their diversity. This project was initiated by the Dept. of Linguistic & Cultural Evolution @MPI_EVA_Leipzig. See: https://t.co/AY1G6qQXGk & https://t.co/7YwxhzKb6F
https://t.co/V5h2zznVyC #SpaceGhostTrain Happy Halloween! This was a fun little mystery featuring friends. My money is on the podcaster -- did I hear two "hearse" puns? Art courier seems to be in the clear, in any case, or at least confused about poisons...
@CuLinguistics has a tenure-track faculty position open. We are looking for a specialist in Native American/Indigenous languages of North America, and especially welcome applications from scholars engaged in community-based research. See the full ad at: https://t.co/cLe4clTZ0Z
New paper from our group highlights how ecology has impacted the adoption of agriculture in human cultures, both through the historical processes through which cultivars spread and through the suitability of a society's local ecological conditions for agriculture.
New paper: "Cultural transmission and ecological opportunity jointly shaped global patterns of reliance on agriculture" https://t.co/u4kMvnnfwK @Bruno__Vilela@ty_tuff@PHKavanagh@H4NN4H_H @MPI_SHH @csu_hdnr
Postdoc opening in computer science/bioinformatics with a wonderful research group in Turku, Finland who use linguistic, cultural, genetic, and environmental information to study Uralic (pre)history. https://t.co/4lmqnAtdTM
Happy to share that I'll be joining the faculty of the CU Boulder Linguistics Dept. in the fall! As a 5th generation Coloradoan, 3rd generation CU Buff, and UC Berkeley alumna, it gives me great pride to join this wonderful group of linguists and the CU community more generally.
The percentage of Berkeley PhDs on CU LING faculty is about to tick up. We are beyond happy that Dr Hannah Haynie, a 3rd gen Coloradan, is joining our faculty as an assistant professor of typology and morphology in the fall. UCB PhDs: 25%. UC PhDs: 50%. #GoBears

Received a tenure-track job offer letter on April Fools' Day and briefly considered the possibility that instead of having landed a dream job, I might be the victim of the world's most elaborate April 1st prank.
