Glad to share our poster at #EAPC2025 on metaphors, identities & gender in cancer communication—part of @4dPicture, with key contributions from @CorpusSocialSci @IOELC @UCREL_NLP. The Junior Forum was a real highlight—truly motivating as an ECR in palliative care communication.

I’m thrilled to have presented our work on Hindi Reading Comprehension: Do Large Language Models Exhibit Semantic Understanding? In this age of remote access, I’m reminded of how fortunate we are to have tools that allow us to connect, collaborate, and showcase our work.🌍
