Congratulations to graduate student Justin Kueser for successfully completing his "prelims" today. He presented two exciting projects showcasing his work in two labs. One project, that he completed in the LLaMA lab, was a study where he explored how toddlers build on their existing vocabulary to learn new verbs. Great job in completing this exciting step towards your PhD!
And thanks to all our LLaMA lab families who contributed their time to this study. We can't wait to share the findings with you very soon!
Our colleagues at the Boston University LAVA lab will be visiting Indianapolis March 6-9th! They're looking for children who are deaf and/or learning ASL between 2.5 to 5.5 years to participate in a 1-hour long study that explores how children learn words in sign. More details below!

An interactive museum in the historic Franklin School will use puzzles and games to explore words.There's SNOW place like the LLaMA Lab!
While some of us will be around for the next few weeks, we wish all students the best of luck and productive times during finals week (--especially to our superb research crew! Thanks for making the semester a "Fabulous Fall '19!" See you next month, year, and decade!)

It's a bitter-sweet day for the LLaMA Lab!
We're excited to wrap up another fantastic fall semester with our crew! However, as we look back on the semester, we're sad to say good-bye to some of our own as the semester closes.
Thank you to our Fall '19 LLaMA Lab graduates: Mackenzie, Jonah, and Jenny for all of your great work over the past few semesters. We'll miss you so much!
We'd also like to recognize our summer '19 lab graduates as well: Stacey and (Dr.!) Ryan as well. We hope that your fall semester treated you all well!
It's been an awesome semester, and we're looking forward to the next semester (, year, and even decade) of research!
This past Saturday night, members of the LLaMA Lab took a field trip...all the way to the Roller System! It was here that the Illiana Derby Dames took on Lafayette Roller Derby!
Our lab manager, Michelle, was a non-skating official (NSO) that night. She was the jam timer, which (briefly put) means that she was responsible for starting, timing, and sometimes stopping game play. We even gave her a LLaMA Lab shout-out during the game!
We learned so much about roller derby that night, and we had a total blast!
Thank you to everyone who put all the details together to make this night one to remember!
