Congratulations to my PhD student @ClaudiaRaines1 for placing 3rd with her poster presentation on disease-specific articulatory impairments in talkers with dysarthria. This was her first research project in my lab. Now she is gearing up for her dissertation project. Time flies!!

Excited to have placed 3rd at the Dan Ashmead Poster Session! Congrats to Andrea and Fatima on their amazing work. Grateful for the opportunity to present alongside such talented researchers at a wonderful department event!

It's a new academic year. In your SLP/SLT and linguistic anatomy classes I would beg you to consider some minor changes to lingual anatomy class. Perhaps, that vowels are produced by grooving or doming different sectors by transversus & genioglossus. ICYMI pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

Flashback: A year ago during the summer break, we started piloting whether we could capture #breathing data with #EMA. Now we have our first results and we're staying on it! @dejliglejlighed @phbuech ☀️Enjoy the summer break! isca-archive.org/issp_2024/thie…

🎉Exciting news! My project "Speech Motor Biomarkers in #Parkinson's Disease" has been honored with the #Innovation Award from the Parkinson Foundation, accompanied by a €100,000! 🏆 Grateful for the support of my incredible colleagues who celebrated this achievement with me.

📣We are happy to share this new publication in Journal of Phonetics titled ”Challenges with the kinematic analysis of neurotypical and impaired speech: Measures and models”! A collaboration between the @LPP_Paris, @MefferdLab, @SpeeDy_Lab, @IfL_Phonetik , @UoYLangLing

🚨Paper Alert🚨 We state that introducing stochastic noise to different levels of the Articulatory Phonology/Task Dynamics model has the potential to describe impaired speech pattern: doi.org/10.1016/j.wocn@MefferdLab @dejliglejlighed @TabeaThies @SpeeDy_Lab Woot woot 🥳!

So proud of our awesome GRA Angela Ding and @VUHearSpeechPhD student mentor @ClaudiaRaines1 - Angela presented their work at the TN State conference. They examined tongue kinematics in dysarthria (ALS, PD, HD, MS). Stay tuned for more findings from this #NIH #NIDCD funded project
