Right?! This is great new.

It is hard to convey how awful it is in the US now. We are attacked, disappeared, murdered by our own government. Our leaders have little regard for human rights, or if they do, are afraid to stand up. We are not blind to the fear and chaos we cause to those outside the US. Sending love and hope.

Thanks so much, happy that it motivated discussion!

My Journey as a Researcher - A Conversation with Karla McGregor YouTube video by Human Chapters

Great to talk w @HumanChapters about being a scientist in an equity related field in the current US. Said some things I’d been wanting to say. youtu.be/BiUfKnWd2n8?...

Thank you, @ashajournals.bsky.social! We are thrilled to get this work out into the world.

Thank you, Jo (and @carolinebowen.bsky.social ). Things a bit overwhelming here so I haven’t been sharing this new paper as I should. I am so happy that you find it fascinating. Made my brain hurt to get these thoughts formulated as well as we did…very smart co-authors to thank on that account!

In two hours, I will join friends for a 4th of July celebration. Like so many of us in the U.S., I do so out of a need to join w others who love this country deeply and, at the same time, who are horrified by the ways that our government is trampling on human rights. Have mercy.

Hi, still managing great humor & superb science? Harsh days. Hang in there.

Congrats to my friend and colleague. Her work will advance understanding of developmental language disorder! #DLD #DevLandDis

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans Trump order allows VA staff to decline providing healthcare to patients based on political affiliation or marital status

How fucking "fascist" is the VA going to be?

So sad, but thank you world for making opportunities for these early career scholars.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

This was a labour of love and learning for our research team with @sarahmasso.bsky.social leading this work with a cool analysis that helped us as clinical researchers reflect more deeply on culturally responsive practice in paediatric speech-language pathology. Open Access.

'You can't see DLD.' That's why it often gets overlooked. And why we need so much more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Health professionals, teachers, everyone.
