The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation is inviting applications for its post-doctoral fellowship! The fellowship offers up to 2 years of post-doctoral support abroad for Italian psycholinguists. Spread the word! Deadline is 3/10 - see info here: nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
In other news, the proofs are up for my new paper, with a dream team of Subhs Shrestha, @linguistbrian.bsky.social, Diogo Almeida, Alec Marantz, and Rajesh Bhatt!

A proposed new rule would limit international students on F1 or J1 visas to stays in the US of no longer than 4 years. This effectively means that intl. students will no longer come to graduate school here (time to PhD is 5-6 years). You can comment here:

The insights in this preprint are the result of some monumental efforts on the part of these researchers. I really can't put it better than Will did in his thread, so go read it, and see why we're convinced that the eyes index syntactic processing difficulty beyond predictability.
I'm really proud and grateful to be part of this research team. It has been fun and intellectually invigorating, and I have very many fond memories of working through this together with everyone.
Really big announcement! See @wtimkey.bsky.social's thread for the details on an exciting new preprint from the NYU-UMass Syntactic Ambiguity Processing group. It is the culmination of the team's research efforts over these last couple of years, and we're really happy with it.
