I’m delighted to share that I have won the 2026 UCL Faculty Education Award for Innovation and have been shortlisted for the UCL Provost Education Award.

Very proud to work at UCL alongside excellent colleagues and outstanding students. Grateful for the recognition.

Fed up with incompetent leaders?
My new book includes antidotes and an interactive section where readers can share their experiences with incompetent leaders.
Let’s stop rewarding performance without substance and start demanding competence.

A new piece of the bilingualism puzzle is out today.

Our new open-access paper shows that age and early language experience shape the time course of infants’ and toddlers’ attention to faces and mouths. https://t.co/3N6KbZOhyH

At academic conferences, I often witness the unthinkable: cappuccino after lunch, or worse, with pasta. My Italian amygdala cries out in horror. It’s not snobbery, it’s neuroscience. But hey, drink what you love, just don’t be surprised if I flinch :-). ☕🍝🧠

@IOE_London @UCL_IOE_PHD @uclcareers A big thank you to everyone who made our Careers Event 2025 such a success! We gave our students something every university should provide: real, professional guidance for life after graduation, inspiration, and a concrete path forward.
