Giovanni Falcone

"Having achieved our own freedom, we can fall into the trap of washing our hands of difficulties that others face. Yet we would be less than human if we did so"
Nelson Mandela
Tanti auguri Pietro ❤ so much happiness with you
This book is a wonderful idea Brielle. Congratulations, you are bright as usual.
"Bob had the right intuition when he told me to do it, and we tried to pay tribute to the singing of our land, Sardinia, by pairing it with a blues that seems so distant.
This shows how seemingly different cultures can live together without either prevailing over the other."
Pietro Frongia, drummer
"In this song are contained my greatest passions for music: rhythm and Su Cantu a Concertu. We sought to integrate them while respecting tradition, allowing them to coexist without losing the fire that fuels them when we perform."
The first album of a wonderful Sardinian blues band ♥️

Connection and Cohesion in a Co-Designed Virtual World - the experience of group aphasia therapy in #EVAPark - loved working on this study so much fun & great team - excellent work @abracabadger.com! #aphasia #VR link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...
The time has come! I'm so excited for Julianne to share her groundbreaking work on inner speech with the world. Stay tuned for quite a few cool papers coming out from this work! Big thanks to William Orr Dingwall Foundation for funding her dissertation.
It was fascinating to hear about Prof. @tessf10.bsky.social, @steveabertawe.bsky.social & Dr Theo Mills' work this PM.
Their site contains a range of word association data to investigate the mental lexicon, including semantic dementia & cancer care.

With the beatific Stax-inspired "Knowledge," @edwyncollins.bsky.social lets go of his "old self" in favor of who he is today. I spoke with him and his wife/manager Grace Maxwell about aphasia, optimism, Orange Juice, and more for my newsletter.

#aphasia
Important for #cogcomm and #aphasia audiences to truly know and appreciate - anomia isn't exclusive to post-stroke! And we know #gesture and #discourse can also be implicated after TBI
If you haven't met Jan before, here she is explaining #Aphasia in her own words. This video has been seen thousands of times on other platforms💜Jan had a #stroke 20yrs ago when she was just 46. For the 1st year post stroke she had no words at all. She is very skilled at using #TotalCommunication 💜
A dream to work with my friends Sarah Grace and Alyssa on this one! #aphasia
