The online version of P&P was a great success! The organizers have shown that it is possible to create real conference flair online by choosing the right platform and sending each participant a coffee break kit 🍪 ☕ in advance. Thanks a lot to Angelika Braun, Sophia Fünfgeld, Peter Knopp, Judith Manzoni-Luxenburger, and their team at the University of Trier.
I made this video to illustrate what I am working on for my PhD:

This two-day workshop on the Measurement of Speech Respiration and Speech Preparation Phases was organized by the project group Pause-internal Phonetic Particles at Saarland University in Saarbrücken. The workshop featured invited talks by Susanne Fuchs (ZAS Berlin): The involvement of respiration in local and global aspects of speech, Marcin Włodarczak (Stockholm University): Interactional functions of breathing, and Adrian Simpson (University of Jena): Where does the air pressure come from? The production of ejectives in German and Georgian, practical sessions by Jörg Dreyer (ZAS Berlin), Marcin Włodarczak (Stockholm University), and Raphael Werner (Saarland University), as well as further exciting presentations from labs across Europe. The practical insights and lively discussions made this workshop an invaluable learning experience. Many thanks to Jürgen Trouvain, Bernd Möbius and Raphael Werner for organizing this event!
The 15th edition of Phonetik und Phonologie im deutschsprachigen Raum took place at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf. The conference continues to grow, which is why we had the first P&P with two parallel tracks this year. Invited talks were given by Caroline Féry (Goethe University Frankfurt): The role of phonology in evolution of language and Vsevolod Kapatsinski (University of Oregon): Mechanisms of phonological learning. Many thanks to the Düsseldorf team for the wonderfully organized conference!
