  Lydia Wiernik, Editor

  University of Edinburgh

  Lydia (they/them) is a second-year undergraduate studying linguistics at the University of Edinburgh. As a quadrilingual and counting, they have always been fascinated by language, but linguistics is where their passion lies. Their research interests include prosody and Deaf linguistics, with a focus on the cognitive processes behind them. When not sorting through the ULAB archives, they can be found archiving for Dr. Dan Gunn’s soon to be published biography. In their spare time, they are an avid bug collector and Keats enthusiast, and will lecture about both unprompted if you’re not careful.
