Reviewer Zero

Want to make peer review more inclusive & equitable? @mattgoldrick.bsky.social and @mariamaly.bsky.social are hosting a free webinar on how to write better, fairer reviews! 📅 June 15th | 12–1:30pm EST 🔗 Register: tinyurl.com/59ez5azt #PeerReview #AcademicTwitter

Editing is hard, and editors shape how peer review works. Reviewer Zero is recruiting the 4th cohort of our Editor Learning Community: five 1-hour meetings with editors working to make review better. Interested in 2026 or later? forms.gle/Cu6aJs3kGvYo... Please share with your networks!

We then discuss how listeners can adapt to these differences and the cognitive and social factors that can impact this adaptation. The possibility of change motivates interventions in institutions supporting science and the broader community. 4/4

We discuss how multilinguals naturally coactivate representations in multiple languages, leading to systematic differences between multilingual and monolingual speech and text. These differences can contribute to negative evaluations of multlinguals’ contributions to science and society. 3/4

While the majority of humanity is multilingual, cognitive science has adopted a monolingual norm. This symposium shows how multilingualism can provide novel insights for cognitive theory and how these insights can help improve the institutions that underlie science and broader society. 2/4

Hey #CogSci2026! I'm so honored to be receiving this year's Elman Prize! Please join @m2b2.bsky.social and me Friday 2-3:30pm in Gavea A for two joint talks: "Multilingualism in Cognitive Science" and "Multilingualism for Cognitive Science and Society" 1/4 @cogscisociety.bsky.social

Congratulations to our colleague @mattgoldrick.bsky.social on this year's Elman Prize. He and @m2b2.bsky.social speak this Friday 2-3:30pm in Gavea A on multilingualism in cognitive science and how multilingual scholars' work gets evaluated. #CogSci2026
