Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

For the first time in nearly 20 years of teaching, I showed up to teach a class with the WRONG lecture prepared. The topic of said lecture, "Stress and Sleep", was probably NOT a coincidence #TeachingNightmare #AtLeastIWasntNaked

I have supported many deaf graduate students and currently support a deaf post doc using this mechanism. What’s happening at NIH is terrible for science and closes doors for deaf students who face so many more challenges than their hearing peers

My instinct is to ignore summer research inquiries written with AI; I assume AI-use reflects an unwillingness to do hard work. Trying to check this bias, as some of these emails are likely written by students from under-resourced backgrounds who are insecure about their writing skills.

Woke up to a notification that one of my papers was cited by a recently published paper. While I'm always grateful for citation of my work--the paper the researchers cited really had very little do to with their point. It was nothing egregious, so do I let the authors know 🤔 #PsychSciSky #devpsych

Sara posted on IG stories today that DE ACLU only wants to hear from DE residents. if you are from DE PLEASE sign and indicate that! Please help our community prevent more language deprivation of deaf children. If you are from our deaf or disabled community please help us get the word out.

I thought I'd share the Boston University Wheelock Deaf Center position statement on the ACLU of Delaware complaint that too many deaf kids are getting the opportunity to go to bilingual schools where they can learn ASL and English 🧵

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees

A plot showing prestige (impact factor) on vertical axis and fees charged by journals on horizontal axis.

A student in my language acquisition just Rickrolled the class during her final presentation....I may just have to give her an "A" for this level of brilliance 😂

Final slide from a student presentation on music interventions to enhance statistical learning. Header is "Future Directions" followed by three bullet points (1) Other aspects of language, music, and social interaction, (2) Short-term vs. long-term effects, (3) Considering cultural difference. At the bottom of the slide is a snippet of the musical score of Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up".

Such a great essay by @novicsara.bsky.social: "What if an “inclusive classroom” *did* include a mix of deaf and hearing kids, but all the kids learned to sign? What if nondisabled society viewed disabled people as having something to teach them, too?"

My ND kid was rejected yet again from a study because "additional diagnoses" is an exclusion criteria, although there is no evidence that her ND would affect results in this area of development. A friendly reminder: unnecessary inclusion criteria misrepresents “normal”. #DevPsych

My 10yo tearfully shared a traumatic memory of participating in a social cognition study as a preschooler. I remember her tears at the time, but was unsure of the cause. She told me the cause...something that I saw then as innocuous, had a lasting effect for her. Thinking of my own studies #DevPsych

I'm loving hard on the fact that the undergraduates in my language acquisition seminar posted this meme about this week's readings 🤩

Image of a meme shared on sidechat. Meme text says "Professors when they assign papers that they wrote for class readings". Meme image is Cameron Tucker from Modern family posing in a sassy way.
