We’ve got some exciting news: OpenCSD and CSDisseminate are joining forces and becoming 1 working group! Our mission is still the same: to spread the word about #OpenScience in communication sciences and disorders. But now we’re doing it together. www.csdisseminate.com/Announcement... #SLP #AuD #CSD

I’m currently being terrorized by a blank event on my calendar for today at noon. Did I mistakenly create this event? Is this an important event that I forgot to add a title/details to? Only time will tell.🙃

My preferred method of procrastinating on grading finals involves reading extensively about the #ungrading movement. 😅

Writing is so much easier when you have a writing coach assisting you. 10/10 would recommend to all.
A workspace setup featuring a laptop with a document open and highlighted text on the screen, placed on a gray desk. To the right of the laptop, a white and gray tabby cat named Kitty lounges comfortably on a beige blanket. Nearby are a green water bottle, a mouse, AirPods, and a container filled with pens and pencils, with a white lamp in the background.

Are you an associate or full professor in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) in the U.S.? We invite you to participate in a 1-hour virtual focus group to discuss #OpenScience practices in CSD. If interested, please fill out the screening form here: tinyurl.com/OS-screening
A flyer from Old Dominion University invites associate and full professors in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) to participate in a virtual focus group about open science practices. The flyer highlights no prior knowledge of open science is needed, and focus groups aim to enhance recommendations for open science use in CSD. Participation includes completing a consent form and a one-hour Zoom focus group. Eligible participants must be U.S.-based researchers in CSD. Contact information for Dr. Danika Pfeiffer and a QR code, alongside a link (https://tinyurl.com/OS-screening), are provided for sign-up. The design includes colorful geometric patterns on the left.

I had a wonderful time at the Houston Area Parkinson’s Society (HAPS) caregiver conference today. It was so insightful to talk directly with caregivers and hear their perspectives on communication challenges with loved ones. I’m grateful for the chance to connect and learn from their experiences.

This is a huge labor of love from our lab: grad students mentor the undergrads to write about language science topics & we release it as an accessible sci comm product. @hannahmech.bsky.social has put crazy amounts of thought into how to do this well. It is SLICK if I do say so. Share widely!
