But all good things come to an end 😔. If you have psycholinguistics jobs coming up check out miekeslim.github.io

Developmental psych is riddled with faces (and gaze) being magic too. People seem to have an aversion to anything being learned, largely because the fancy people have nativist theories. Which is why I like working with dev roboticists, who take learning seriously

I never met Esther but her work is a huge influence on my thinking. And Linda is my academic great grandma! Indomitable woman who does some of the most important work in the field
