What do humans and machines miss out on when processing language as purely written text, without all the embodied audiovisual richness that scaffolds language in daily human contexts?
Very proud of this elegant work from @tommybotch.bsky.social
We're excited to hear this year's Young Investigator Award recipients @esfinn.bsky.social @andrebastosof.bsky.social talk about their award-winning research! And exciting to see them with some past winners @freekvanede.bsky.social @striemamit.bsky.social
Join us in the Grand Ballroom!

Trying some nuggets
Uh-oh
Feeling the burn
For the Dartmouth PBS graduate student visiting day this year, we introduced a new format based on the "Hot Ones" talk show: faculty and current graduate students ate nuggets with a series of increasing spicy hot sauces as they answered questions from prospective grad students! πΆοΈπ₯π₯΅
