A Texas-Sized, Texas-Shaped Approach to Biomedical Research Texas voters have approved billions to study cancer and dementia, embracing the idea that biomedical research is a force for public good.

I'm very excited to share our new article "A Texas-Sized, Texas-Shaped Approach to Biomedical Research" in @issuesinst.bsky.social issues.org/texas-resear... @stpolicy.bsky.social @bakerinstitute.bsky.social

🧠Do interpreters have “younger” brains?
Our MRI brain-age study suggests that heavy real-time language processing (interpreting) makes our brains age differently compared to regular bilinguals & translators,especially in control-related regions. @uvahumanities.bsky.social+ @amsterdamumc.bsky.social

Thrilled to share that our paper “Mapping semantic networks to Dutch word embeddings as a diagnostic tool for cognitive decline” has been accepted for publication at #EMNLP2025 (Main) 🎉

A huge thanks to my co-authors (and supervisors): @michalkorenar.bsky.social and Jelke Bloem

Self-evaluations and the language of the beholder: objective performance and language solidarity predict L2 and L1 self-evaluations in bilingual adults - Cognitive Research: Principles and Implication... People are often asked to self-evaluate their abilities, and these evaluations may not always reflect objective reality. Here, we investigated this issue for bilingual adults’ self-evaluations of lang...

Doing #bilingualism or #multilingualism research and wondering which lang background measure to use?

We examined if #language solidarity biased self-evaluation accuracy. doi.org/nrvz

Bottom line: %use self-evals were less biased than value-laden (how good am I?) self-evals.

%use wins, to us!
