so honored to be included as a co-author on Deb's fantastic dissertation work, published @BrainComms . Would have had major FOMO if not because this work is SO COOL and clinically relevant and a favorite project. Check out aphasia-friendly manuscript version for #accessibility

This!!! Exquisitely made. Disseminate widely! Proud to surround myself with literal winners :)

What an incredible line-up of speakers at this upcoming, #FREE , #public , #online , #musicscience event from NIH:

Really looking forward to talks from some current colleagues, past mentors, and people I'm happy to call friends!

Interesting! Publicly available data from UMASS about how they pay female faculty less than male faculty at all career lvls, and have done nothing to close the gap in last 5 yrs. Embarrassing, discouraging, & sadly representative of what is probs the norm shorturl.at/chuV2

My biggest contribution to society is that at bday parties I always sing Happy Birthday at a quick, upbeat tempo and I do it very loudly so everyone speeds up to match me, and I save the party from having to listen to the usual funeral dirge rendition of the song.

Thanks to Mara and Emily for inviting me to join them for this project. We created an information/education page for ACRM about #AAC for people with #Aphasia - its freely accessible for one month at this link!

Me: 'Good idea.'

David Poeppel is on again.
