This year, for the first time, someone in my undergrad anatomy class FINALLY chose to "do a make-up tutorial demonstrating the muscles of facial expression" for their assigned creative project and I am STOKED. (the pic is a youtube tutorial I show for inspo, not a student!)

It's almost time for MSU's annual Science Festival! The SONiC Lab will be located in Room 2201 of the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility on April 5th and 6th from 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. Come "see your speech" and learn how acoustics can be used in healthcare applications! We hope to see you there!

It was great to connect with our community @msuscifest.bsky.social ! At the “see your speech” station participants saw their speech and learned how speech acoustics help diagnose neurological conditions that affect speech! Baby Enzo joined in, enjoying his first of many Science Fests to come!

And the funding announcement for diversity supplements now has been updated to expire today. Supplements are so important to the careers of junior scientists. This is crushing for post docs and early career faculty grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I just registered for my third year of the ASH Foundation 5k (Aug 31)! The ASH Foundation is a big supporter of early career research in CSD and I always appreciate having an external motivator to run :) runsignup.com/Race/MD/Rock...

When a talker repeats the same vowel sequence 34 times in quick succession, a good phonetician simply can’t let that opportunity pass. I present to you: the definitive acoustic analysis of Ari Melber's pronunciation of "guilty"

ToDo list? More like ToNotDo list, amirite? New cartoon.

That feeling when your Sentence Intelligibility Test sentence list sounds more like a melancholic poem.

Are you an Early Career Researcher and unsure about how to write a peer review? Or simply curious about how other people write theirs? In our new panel discussion series at @lmu-osc.bsky.social we'll discuss peer reviewing practices - you can join online or in person! #AcademicSky #metasci #EduSky

Men are kiki and women are bouba at Costco, apparently. #linguistics

notes on citing R and R Packages #rstats www.tjmahr.com/r-package-ci...

So many of my #praat scripts that I continue to build/tweak have become this kind of frankensteined mash-up of old and new syntactic norms, habits I've revised or broken, and stylistic preferences that very clearly age-grade my coding journey 😆

It was wonderful to connect with our community in a fun and engaging way at MSU’s annual Science Fest this past weekend! We had crafts, resources, and lots of education related to speech and #parkinsonsdisease. #womeninstem #scicomm

Very proud of our two undergraduate students who will be presenting at our University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF) at #MichiganState! #SciComm #womeninSTEM #SLP2B

Hello World, and what better way to kick off our lab's social media than acknowledging World Parkinson's Day (April 11). The Speech Outcomes in Neurogenic Communication (SONiC) Lab focuses on speech communication in neurodegenerative diseases like #Parkinsonsdisease.

Our lab is presenting at the #MSUSciFest this Sunday and we couldn't be more excited! We had SO much fun last year and are looking forward to connecting with the community again this weekend. 🗓️ April 14th, 1 - 4pm 📍STEM Teaching & Learning Facility, Room 2201 sciencefestival.msu.edu/Event/View/67

I sort of succeeded but also I mostly hacked it because SquareSpace is weird (but more more user friendly for student RAs than blogdown, hence the shift to squarespace).

I've finally got the chance to use #Autoscore in #rstats (by @healthandstats.bsky.social) to calculate speech intelligibility and it's so easy I could cry. 😍

Very proud of Kelly Gates (MA student @ #UBuffalo) for leading our two recent companion publications. These report on speech-language pathologists’ perspectives of the use of speech amplification devices for managing hypophonia in #Parkinsonsdisease in #ASHAjournals #AJSLP! 🧪 👩‍🔬 🧠📈 #SLPeeps #SciComm

Our trivia team did poorly on a question this week in which we were asked to name all elements with double L's. I made us a cheat sheet based on this gem for next time.

#statstab #45 Visualizing Hierarchical Models Thoughts: One of the coolest visualisation websites for mixed effects models I had saved. #stats #mixedeffects #hierarchicalmodels #rstats #MLM mfviz.com/hierarchical...

Does anyone have any excellent resources for teaching spreadsheet/Excel basics to students? I like this paper, but am hoping to find a tutorial or two to share as well. 🧪👩‍🔬 #academicsky #SciComm #stats #phdsky #OpenScience

My ineffable mother plunged into a frozen lake this morning in queen's attire to raise funds for accessible outdoor recreation with her team, the Ashfield Ice Queens (all women over 60 who swim together daily, even through the winter). Team page: alloutadventures.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/a...

🗣️💬 I think we can all agree the answer is #praat

Roses are yellowish; violets are blue— Deuteranopia gives them that hue. Or roses are red and violets grey, If tritanopia has any say. But they’ve different shapes and different smells, Which means colour-blind folks can distinguish them well.

We may not yet have the social media vitality of the Bird Site of Yore, but I am so looking forward to seeing many #slpeeps in real life at the motor speech conference next week 🙏

👀 Love me some easy markdown table infrastructure.

After coming back from being fully unplugged for a bit at the end of the year, I'm feeling revved up and ready to get back to my lab. Here's a wrap-up of our last year - love working with these folks! casa-lab.com/post/newslet...

Your regular reminder that we, your professors, LOVE IT when you email us after the fact to let us know what you're up to. Truly one of the most gratifying parts of this work.

Hi #SLPeeps! Interested in getting your PhD? If you are going to be at the ASHA convention this week, stop by the exhibition hall on Friday the 17th to chat with me, Jenny Zuk, & Kim Crespo about our PhD program at @bostonu.bsky.social! Details here: convention.asha.org/networking/g...

If you know someone doing research in #speech #language disorders #aphasia #SLPeeps #neuropsychology who wants to join bluesky and needs an invitation code please let me know! Happy to share one!

Also, a friendly reminder that I am on the job market. If you are attending #ASHA2023, I’m open to meeting and discussing any potential openings you or your department have open! #SLPeeps

My mentee just submitted TWO first-author manuscripts (her first first-authored!) and I am just SO INCREDIBLY PROUD of her. ✨Kelly Gates, 2nd year MA student, hopefully soon to be PhD student and one day working in a CSD department near you. Watch out for her, #SLPeeps! 🤩

Zotero users: I have a lot of entries that don't have PDFs (carry over from when I imported my old bib file). I've been adding them one at a time as I need them, but is there a more efficient way to do this, or to "grab" PDFs from the doi? #academicsky

Sharing this R resources database with y'all! For the past 4 years, I have been accumulating resources (mainly free ones) for new & advanced #Rlearners in their programming journey. Feel free to share! resourcesdatabase.com #RStats #RResources #learningR #DataScience #Python #R

I was a weird mix of "very moody emo kid" and "semi-elite athlete in a niche sport nobody knew anything about." I hung out mostly with climbers & gym rats & only a handful of my peers, which just enhanced my weirdness. Pretended not to give a shit but definitely gave lots of shits about everything.

Our MSU #SLPeeps team had SUCH a great time at the MI Parkinson Foundation Hero Walk this morning supporting the cause, learning about Parkinson's, and sharing info about speech research & resources. #SciEngage 👩🏼‍🔬 🧪 🧠

Shamelessly sharing b/c I want ☕ gear: I subscribe to a monthly coffee service I love (Trade). They're giving away a piece of gear I want and I get more entries if friends sign up for a "free" bag of coffee (i.e., sign up for the service):

PLEASE RETWEET (or whatever it's called): I want to follow and support fellow science journalists on Bluesky! Help me find them!! Reply to this if you are among that hallowed number. @easternblot.bsky.social @jjbw.bsky.social @eshirin.bsky.social @duncanfyfe.bsky.social @colinschultz.bsky.social

Deadline 10/1: Asst. prof., U Mass Amherst, Cognition + CogNeuro, area open careers.massachusetts.edu/cw/en-us/job...

Today I played a quiet loop of cocktail noise in the background during a Zoom meeting and hacked my brain into imagining we were all out enjoying drinks together talking logistics at a hip pub instead of in my office alone on Zoom. 10/10 recommend #academia.

Welcome to Bluesky, we have rules around here: 1. Say it in the street, that's a knock-out 2. But you say it in a skeet, that's a cop-out 3. And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?"
