Banana slugs at CAMP
On the weekend of January 28-29, several UC Santa Cruz psycholinguists presented at this year’s California Meeting on Psycholinguistics (CAMP), hosted by UCLA. The conference attendees included graduate students and post-docs from all over the state conducting research in language processing. In addition to Professors Matthew Wagers and Amanda Rysling each chairing a session, the talk schedule was infested with banana slugs:
