Pleased to announce my first-ever paper has been published! Thanks to my mentors & coauthors @lieberman_amy, @jenniepyers, & @naomicaselli!

Here's a quick summary thread: 🧵

Do parents modify child-directed signing to emphasize iconicity? https://t.co/uWh3IbJEg3

@J356170J They forwarded my email to a program officer but I haven't heard back yet. I can dm you when I get a response :)

Just to say...

"Hands washing" puts responsibility on the individual.

"Cleaning the air" puts responsibility on public health officials.

Come see my poster at #CogSci2024 titled “Deaf signers allocate gaze based on type and familiarity of signed input”. I’m poster P3-EE-744 in the center of the hall :)

@Boston_DSA Both columns converge on admin building to start the second half of the rally.

@Boston_DSA Beautiful moment when the rally, which had split in two columns, got a view of each-other.

No graduate student worker should be struggling to make ends meet when Boston University has a $3 billion endowment. These workers deserve a living wage and strong benefits. Boston University must bargain a fair contract immediately.

A pun that could only be in Canadian English (or at least not in American English): A restaurant near my apartment doing an all-you-can eat pasta dinner, calling it the "All Access Pass(ta)".

@IX_Taylor_Joyce Thank you! I'm happy to help and glad you've been enjoying the conference so far :)

"When everything is mediated through an interpreter, it means the Deaf child does not experience education in the same way as the hearing students...in the end it’s a very isolated experience, socially, academically and intellectually for many Deaf students.” -Nigel Howard

[UBC Faculty of Arts @UBC_Arts]

What is visual accessibility, and why is it important? Nigel Howard (@UBCLinguistics) discusses Deaf culture, American Sign Language, and shares his perspective on being truly inclusive in higher education: https://t.co/lHfalc80DV

I don't think in terms of not catching Covid.

I think in terms of reducing the risk of catching Covid, with the intention of catching it as few times as possible, and spreading it as little as possible.

[Paris Gappmayr @parisgap]

@ortega_ger Lovely to meet you too!

[Paris Gappmayr @parisgap]

I had an incredible time at
✨#FITA2023!✨Lots of great discussion on how iconicity lies in the eye of the beholder. 👀Thanks to all the organizers for their fantastic work! 🙌

[Elana Pontecorvo @ejacobsp]

The 'From Icon to Abstraction' workshop is off to a great start at University of Birmingham! 🇬🇧
I'm in my #iconicity era 💅#FITA2023

Between the MBTA action and this one, we have won 4% more in raises *before* our first contract. BU knows that we are powerful, but we are only just getting started. We are heading to the bargaining table this summer ready to fight for a living wage and much more.
