But while you register, we would also like you to consider registering for at least one of the following events happening at the conference this week. 1. A Call to RSVP for Student Workshop Do you have concerns and questions about data sharing and open science, especially as it relates to child data? Our student workshop speaker will be addressing these questions this year! If you are interested in attending the student workshop, please fill out this questionnaire<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfv5NKurYUr0mqSHvlBNKXhvwIRDiAcsLO…>. Questions will be discussed anonymously. 2. A Call for Mentors for PUMP PUMP at BUCLD 46 still needs additional mentors. If you are willing to commit to a one-time session with a mentee of similar interest as you, please consider signing up using the mentor’s sign-up link here: bit.ly/BUCLD46-pump. Also, if you have already signed up to be a mentor, you may want to consider taking another student. Reach Mary-Caitlyn at valentinssonm(a)appstate.edu, and indicate your intention to mentor another student for PUMP at BUCLD 46. Thank you very much for helping our academic community. We look forward to seeing you soon at the conference! Warm regards, BUCLD 46, Organizing Committee

Dear Friends and Colleagues, Please join the Society for Language Development (SLD) and the Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD) for a memorial for Lila Gleitman, who passed away in August at age 91. The memorial will be held virtually and is open to the public. Please click the zoom webinar link below to join the live-stream event as an audience member on Thursday Nov 4th, 3-5pm (EDT). John Trueswell SLD-BUCLD Memorial for Lila Gleitman PROGRAM THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2021, 3:00-5:00PM (EDT) *Click to join live stream <https://upenn.zoom.us/j/95168173576?pwd=OU1UT2gyMTZiL29vZlpzUXVxNEI4dz09>* *Opening Remarks. *Elissa Newport *Lila’s “Relatives” and Admirers. *Thanks to everyone who signed up in advance as a relative. If you signed up you will be joining the zoom webinar using your own special panelist link, already provided to you (not the link above). Participation will be modeled loosely after the Lila Gleitman Party, held every year at BUCLD, in which each of Lila’s academic ‘offspring’ would stand up and say who they were and how they were related to Lila. Relations included academic daughters, granddaughters, sons, grandsons, nephews, nieces, but also many other unexpected relations (e.g., cousins, uncles, the milkman, and one time, a complete stranger at the Chinese restaurant where we had the party). *Closing Remarks. *John Trueswell ASL interpretation will be provided during the memorial. Thank you!
