How do jet pilots know if they are right-side-up? Sometimes, they do not! Check out my new review paper on spatial disorientation.

Cold-emailing potential postdoc advisors is a hugely successful strategy! Here is the exact e-mail I sent back in the day (& it worked) - feel free to use as a template: https://t.co/OPtsiqH2Kh

[Leonardo Jo @leonardojo]

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

New paper coming out in Mind & Language: "Pictorial Syntax." I argue that images can have a syntax, or grammar, and I try to spell out what that would mean and what it might look like, using a class of models in computer vision called "image grammars."
