The @re-writer.bsky.social project will span from basic science to real-world applications, from neuroaesthetics of poetry processing to promoting creative engagement with poetry. The brilliant @pat-err.bsky.social thinks big and follows through on those ideas. I'm so excited to be part of the team!
