Outreach

Through the BiLD lab, the Center for Language Science (CLS), and SLEIC, I have been involved in a number of exciting scientific outreach and education opportunities where we
engage with the community to promote knowledge of language research, bilingualism and second language learning, and science education and literacy. I’ve participated in EEG demos at Science Fairs, talked with teachers about current research on second language learning, and coordinated talks for the community about the the brain, aging and aphasia.
