Last week the UC Riverside Postdoctoral Association hosted the 2016 UCR Postdoctoral Symposium. There were 12 talks from UCR postdocs in a variety of disciplines including Plant Sciences, Neuroscience, Electrical Engineering, and Comparative Literature, among others, as well as a poster session.
I gave a presentation called Bilingualism and its Consequences on the Native Language. The talk included a brief overview of some of the interesting recent research in the psychology of bilingualism and gave a short overview of my dissertation findings. I was blown away when they gave me an award for 2nd best presentation!
The event was a great opportunity to meet other postdocs on campus and see what kind of work is being done at UCR. I hope I can participate again next year!
