Thea @theaknowles.bsky.social · 30/06/2025This year, for the first time, someone in my undergrad anatomy class FINALLY chose to "do a make-up tutorial demonstrating the muscles of facial expression" for their assigned creative project and I am STOKED. (the pic is a youtube tutorial I show for inspo, not a student!) 040
Reposted by TheaSONiC Lab MSU @soniclabmsu.bsky.social · 28/03/2025It's almost time for MSU's annual Science Festival! The SONiC Lab will be located in Room 2201 of the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility on April 5th and 6th from 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. Come "see your speech" and learn how acoustics can be used in healthcare applications! We hope to see you there! 012
Reposted by TheaSONiC Lab MSU @soniclabmsu.bsky.social · 08/04/2025 It was great to connect with our community @msuscifest.bsky.social ! At the “see your speech” station participants saw their speech and learned how speech acoustics help diagnose neurological conditions that affect speech! Baby Enzo joined in, enjoying his first of many Science Fests to come! 021

Thea @theaknowles.bsky.social · 30/04/2024So many of my #praat scripts that I continue to build/tweak have become this kind of frankensteined mash-up of old and new syntactic norms, habits I've revised or broken, and stylistic preferences that very clearly age-grade my coding journey 😆 120
