With decade of research experience at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, she now leads the Language, ACQuisition, DIVersity Lab (ACQDIV). Her lab’s work seeks to embrace linguistic diversity to uncover universal mechanisms and input patterns that enable children to learn any human language.
