São Luís Castro is Full Professor at the University of Porto, Faculty of Psychology and Education, where she directs the Speech Lab and the Neurocognition and Language Research Group of the Center for Psychology. She was recipient, with Ana Sucena, of the Cegoc 2006 Award for the development of ALEPE, a battery of tests for the assessment of reading skills in Portuguese. Early on as a student of brain hemispheric asymmetries, more recently as a researcher on how speech and music may “flow from the same source” (as the Portuguese poet Eugénio de Andrade once put it), a keen interest in language has been a constant in her professional life. She is an enthusiast polyglot traveler and, in her spare time, she enjoys choir singing and, ... guess what?, reading.
