At #RaAM17 @raammetaphor.bsky.social, I was pleased to present, on behalf of our team, one study from the
4D Picture project, on “Metaphors, identities, and gender in online interactions about cancer”.
It was my first in-person RaAM, and I loved every bit of it.

Even more exciting: this year’s EAPC Early Career Award goes to another researcher in palliative care with a linguistics background. How encouraging to see linguistic approaches gaining ground in this vital field!

Glad to share our poster at #EAPC2025 on metaphors, identities & gender in cancer communication—part of @4dpicture, with key contributions from @corpussocialsci.bsky.social @ioelc.bsky.social @ucrelnlp.bsky.social
The Junior Forum was a real highlight—truly motivating as an ECR.

Something weird about Web of Science…
They have automatically added someone else’s research outputs to my profile.
I cannot even find a way to delete that person’s name and organisations on my profile.
It’s funny to see myself in the fields of Engineering and Linguistics at the same time…
