He ran an excellent journal club in the evenings during my student days at IU. Fondly remember "how far you can go without representations" discussions and more. He will be missed.

IU has been a leader in cognitive science for a long time. Sad to see this elimination, and so many others, as an alum.

Finally it's here, in the flesh!!!

Copies of my new book "Psycholinguistics: A Very Short Introduction". The top of the cover is almost black, then halfway down there's sort of a spray of cherry-red dots, and about 1/3 of the way down, a pink-white almost water-like effect. At the very bottom right-hand corner of the cover is the word "Oxford", since the book is published by Oxford University Press.

Hanging in there. Hope you and Fernanda are great as well.

Wouldn't be bad to start from a mailing list of all the people on the consensus paper. Or whatever the new version of a mailing list/discussion group is.
