I could not be more thrilled! 🧠 That the award is named in Lila Gleitman's honor makes it all the more meaningful. Thanks to the prize committee and to my lab @ldm-nyu.bsky.social, my colleagues, my mentors, and the NSF for their support. Thanks especially to all the infant and child participants! 👶
