Dear BUCLDers,
Happy conference week!!! BUCLD 46 officially opens in the next few days and we are excited to welcome you all at this year's virtual meeting. Please register<https://www.bu.edu/bucld/conference-info/registration/> for the conference if you haven't done so yet. 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

SLD-BUCLD Memorial for Lila Gleitman
PROGRAM

*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!
