Dear Future of PHPM Organizing Committee, Let me first warmly thank you for your invitation to the 2026 Conference. This opportunity made me aware of the existence of an organization I didn't know before, whose scope goes beyond my personal scientific area of interest, but at the same time, encompasses it. I qualify as a psychologist investigating linguistic and cognitive profiles in typical and atypical populations from both a developmental and educational perspective. Therefore, the very fact of being selected as a distinguished speaker within such a vast group of international professionals of medicine, chemistry, dietology, environmentalism, and the like, has favorably surprised me as a sign of a far-reaching view of medical problems. Actually, I have been contacted, since the first email, based on a chapter of a freshly published book, "The metalinguistic mind. Typically and atypically-developing children" (Springer Nature, 2026), namely, "The development of metalinguistic awareness in atypical populations: What can we learn from their linguistic profiles?". This makes me think that the selection of the speakers did succeed in gathering thought-provoking contributions from diverse areas, though potentially interconnected. Concerning the quality of the talks, although I could attend only the first 14 contributions on Monday, 23, I found them well presented, full of eloquent data, tables, and figures on such relevant topics as environmentalism, dietology, predictive power of diagnostic tools, and related therapy means, use of digital tools for medicine administration, and the like. Not being an expert in those fields, I can only express a very general impression, but the very fact that I could grasp the essence of the contents seems to me a sign of clarity and relevance. As for the contribution of my participation in the conference to my professional development, I cannot say much for the moment, but as a developmental and educational psycholinguist, I saw some potentialities in analyzing how other professionals communicate their scientific discourse, and how this communication could be optimized, both in written and oral form. For instance, there was a wide variety of English pronunciation styles among the speakers, a phenomenon that obliges the listeners to considerable effort in adjusting the ear to diverse intonation patterns, syllable stress, and phonetic variation. This is to me an interesting area of study. In the whole, then, the participation in the conference has been a very stimulating experience, for which I thank the organizers once more.
