Screenshot of a tweet that reads β€œOur village Christmas lights are designed by the local primary kids and they are the single best thing about the festive season.” Four photos of Christmas light displays which are children’s drawings brought to life - an Angel, a reindeer, something that looks like a peacock, and presumably Father Christmas!

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student (Oct 2025 start) to work on a project looking at the range of cues that guide accurate sentence comprehension. Unfortunately the funding opportunity is just for students who would pay UK fees. If you know any suitable applicants please tell them to email me.

Got sucked in already. This is quite fun searching for people from the other place and feeling joy instead of doom.
