Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

We are recruiting persons with #aphasia for a study taking place (in person!) at University of Tech #Sydney! Please spread to your network. It's all about user experience; no tech expertise required! #SLPeeps #SLP

Come hang out with me and Kong Meng Liew -- will share what I've learned working with @reviewerzero.bsky.social about giving and receiving peer reviews

Alas, my summer holiday is over and hinting that I should check in to see what I've missed here...

Does anyone know a database with French semantic neighbourhood density or diversity norms for a large set of words?

✨i'm hiring a lab manager, with a start date of ~September 2025! to express interest, please complete this google form: forms.gle/GLyAbuD779Rz... looking for someone to join our multi-disciplinary team, using OPM, EEG, iEEG and computational techniques to study speech and language processing! 🧠

Could discussions about editorial board composition include geographic diversity, please?

This article is just super. Table 2 made my day. arxiv.org/pdf/2406.01538

Thank you to everyone who ventured down under for #SNL2024! I feel blessed working in a field with such great people.

Safe travels to all making their way to Brisbane for the Neurobiology of Language conference. History is made by those who turn up. See you in a day or so!
