We're back!

After Melissa’s sabbatical, we’re back with news from the lab!

We’ve had a busy, but successful past year! We published a bunch of papers and presented a lot at local, national, and international meetings (mostly by Zoom).

More exciting, however, have been the new additions to our team! We have two new postdocs in the lab this academic year, Dr. Shiloh Drake & Dr. Rachel Weissler. Carissa Diantoro joined our lab as a PhD student. And we have a new group of undergraduate friends working with us, including Karmella Fabiano, Trinity Gallardo, Toby Graham, Audrey Kirkpatrick, Princess Mason, Mary Mugeki, Christina O’Konski, Isabel Preligera, and Anna Wood.

We’ve got a number of projects in the works, including several papers which have been accepted for submission to special issues of Languages, Applied Psycholinguistics, and a few other journals we’ll keep under wraps ‘til they’re officially accepted. Some of these projects involve big teams from our lab, including postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduate students.

This year also saw us see off some of our newly minted alumni. Dr. Jonathan Wright successfully defended his dissertation and started a position as a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State University. Isabel Crabtree and Sabrina Piccolo both completed their honors theses and moved on to fun new positions.

We are looking forward to the rest of 2022!
