At the Omaha Public Schools board meeting. With 5 minutes until start time, about 50 people are in the audience. Board President Jane Erdrnberger just gave the warning that people wishing to speak must register now. I see parents, teachers, and teacher union reps in the crowd.

RAs, Ana and Jessica, have joined the 2026 @wmsymposium.bsky.social! This one of the best online conferences around: lots of great discussion, thoughtful approaches to networking, and centering of early career scientists. Hope to see Ana present in the future as she starts grad school in the fall!

Walking to the polling place where I am serving as an election worker really makes government/politics feel local and personal. Knowing that my personal polling place is yet a .5 mile further makes government/politics feel completely illogical and confusing.

If John Cavanaugh is elected to Congress, then MAGA republican Gov Pillan chooses Cavanaugh’s replacement in the Nebraska state unicameral. That seems like an ineffective way to “defend the 🔵” especially when we have other great congressional options in (my pick) Denise Powell and Crystal Rhoades

Today is the 2026 BTNRH Post Doc Research Symposium! This morning’s speakers shared their research with translational impacts on how we best support children with atypical hearing or language. These scholars are shining examples of why NIH’s T32 training grants are so important.
Dr Erica Lescht presents her talk “Visuospatial working memory skills in children who stutter”Dr Julia Nikolaeva presents “Hidden in plain sight: Gender differences in the clinical presentation of developmental language disorder “Dr Melissa Hazen presents “Effects of childhood vestibular loss on physical activity, gait, falls, and cognition”Dr Devon Major presents “Effects of atypical auditory experiences on emotional and social communication”
