"Two Languages, One Mind: What Science Reveals About Bilingual Communication" 
How does knowing two languages shape the brain? How does it influence the way we think, express emotions and connect with others? Genesis Arizmendi, assistant professor of speech, language and hearing sciences, will break down the cognitive and social advantages of bilingualism, revealing how speaking multiple languages enhances mental flexibility, fosters deeper cultural understanding and even strengthens communities. 

Join us for this year’s University of Arizona College of Science Lecture Series, where we delve into the fascinating science behind how we connect. From decoding canine cues to the intricacies of multilingual communication and even exploring signals across the vastness of space, this series will break down the complexities of communication across species, minds, and distances.

Please note that this is not a Tucson Spellers-sponsored event, but we encourage those interested in scientific exploration to attend. The lectures will be held in a spacious venue, and there will be room to move around outside the hall if needed. Whether you're a scientist, student, or simply curious about the ways we connect, this series offers a compelling look at the science behind communication in all its forms.
