After five years of giving her all to the Child Language Lab, the University of Connecticut, and her doctoral studies, DOCTOR Cynthia Boo has triumphantly defended her dissertation and been awarded her PhD. We are beyond proud to have seen Cynthia grow as a student, researcher, and mentor to others during her time here. We know that she will accomplish amazing things in her next step– a postdoc position at Dr. Marjorie Rhodes’s lab at NYU– and beyond. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us, Dr. Boo!

From July 15-19, the CLL’s P.I. Letty and lab manager Grace attended the 2024 congress of the International Association for the Study of Child Language (IASCL), held at Charles University in Prague. Grace presented a poster, and Letty presented two posters on behalf of 3rd-year student Kaya LeGrand. We were happy to see many familiar faces at IASCL: Dr. Esther (Yi) Su of Central South University, Dr. Jill de Villiers of Smith College, and Dr. Stephanie Durrleman of Fribourg University, to name a few. Visiting Prague in the height of summer was a treat, too!
