🧠Do interpreters have “younger” brains? Our MRI brain-age study suggests that heavy real-time language processing (interpreting) makes our brains age differently compared to regular bilinguals & translators,especially in control-related regions. @uvahumanities.bsky.social+ @amsterdamumc.bsky.social

KOŘENÁŘ - that’s the actual spelling of my surname. I don't often use the diacritics, but I embraced them at the meeting of Czech scientists in the Netherlands organised by czexpats.org/en/%F0%9F%94... Meeting minds across disciplines was exhilarating - the highlight wasn’t just the Ř😝
