Just attended @isbilingualism.bsky.social
in San Sebastián with my supervisor @troembke.bsky.social.
I presented my meta-analysis on bilingual advantage in word learning there.
Great talks and interesting people. Grateful for the experience!

Grateful for such an inspiring week at my first @isbilingualism.bsky.social. Lots to digest as we reluctantly leave the beautiful San Sebastian!

Here are my slides with preliminary findings on the effect of trauma on word learning in Ukrainian refugee children in the Netherlands ➡️ osf.io/qsdtk

What happens when you put experts in multilingualism, genetics, neuroimaging, & animal cognition in the same @isbilingualism.bsky.social panel? @nargolestani.bsky.social and I, supported by @nccrlanguage.bsky.social, took on the challenge and...learned a lot while having a blast!

Our very last keynote is here — but our brains are still switched on! 🧠 Prof. Robert Hartsuiker @roberthartsuiker.bsky.social (Ghent University) asks, is bilingual lexical access really language non-selective? A mind-twisting finale to our conference journey! #ISB15

Then we enjoyed a pintxo-style dinner on the Aquarium terrace, with amazing sunset views! 🌅 Glasses were empty, vibes were lively, conversations flowing – the perfect end to a full day of talks 😌 #ISB15

#ISB15 has been beautiful, invigorating, manic, thought provoking.

I’ll be sharing some snippets of talks and quotes on my multilingual Insta profile (mainly in Finnish) when I sit down and gather my thoughts and notes back home!
