🗳️ NAACL members, the 2025-2026 elections are now open! I'm running for the NAACL board, and I would be honored by your support. As a Latin American researcher, I want to foster a more inclusive NAACL—one that better integrates the voices of researchers from the Global South.

Don’t choose PhD programs by rankings—they may not be a good fit for you (& everyone applies there!) Instead, focus on potential advisors. How to find them? 1. Pick your top 20-40 favorite papers 2. Find the authors in academic positions 3. Apply to their schools Good luck!🍀
