Chicago! Tomorrow, I'm doing this fun thing! Come hang out and watch people do improv about my science!

As always, I am in total agreement with my Frave.

Come hang out with the most fun language science folks around! This Friday!!

Chicago friends! I'm going to be a lecturer for this show at Second City on 9/19! I am NOT going to be funny, but other people will be! Come hang out! Tickets are here: secondcity.com/shows/chicago/… but DM me with any questions!!

ACOUSTICS TODAY Communication in medical settings, particularly patient-provider interactions, require some special considerations: doi.org/10.1121/AT.202… #acoustics @MtwoBtwo

This is the Acoustics Today article we wrote about medical communication

ACROSS ACOUSTICS New! In this episode, we talk to @MtwoBtwo (@UCSPPLab) and @perj44 (@UA_AS), about why instructors should use a variety of voices in the classroom, and how to talk about other ways of speaking when one feels ill-equipped to do so: buzzsprout.com/1537384/150858….

@ellen_adair Well OBVIOUSLY you are the best and smartest Frave of all Fraves and have the best baseball takes

It is unfathomable to me that any major league (or minor league) pitcher a) knows I exist b) bothered to listen a thing that I said c) didn't dismiss me as a mere goofball. Mind is blown. Day is made. Daniel Bard, I'm your fan forever. So sorry we won't see him pitch this year.

@LingSocAm Apologies for typos. Can I blame typing near a baby? 😬

@LingSocAm LSA members! Feel free to reach out here out if you would like to get involved in any of these initiatives!

At a time when many are struggling to find ways to talk constructively to each other about conflicts occurring both in the U.S. and abroad, LSA is launching a new initiative focused on language, conflict and peace-making. lsadc.org/content.asp?ad…

My lab is hiring a postdoc!!! More info is here: speechperceptionproductionlab.com/postdoctoral-p… I'm happy to answer any questions that aren't covered in the ad itself!

SPECIAL ISSUE: RECONSIDERING CLASSIC IDEAS IN SPEECH This article argues that the role of intelligibility measures must be reconsidered in fields such as #linguistics, communication disorders, and psychology. doi.org/10.1121/10.001… @MtwoBtwo @SusannahVLevi @kj_vanengen .

Me: the game looks cold. Pete: at least it’s not raining. Me: it never rains at Autzen Stadium.

Oh, I see I got home just in time to watch the Craig Kimbrel nausea roller coaster.

One reason I love talking about this stuff is that I get to promote kindness in the world. I’m so lucky to do this job.

I talked to the delightful @TopofMindpod about adapting to unfamiliar accents and other things: byuradio.org/939e2942-1ad2-…

I also forgot that cheering for the Phillies means I also booked a ticket for the Craig Kimbrel rollercoaster of nausea and anxiety, which I have lots of familiarity with as a Red Sox and Cubs fan.

To be clear. I am on the Phillies bandwagon but refrain from cheering for Bryce Harper.

@BCB_Sara What a dreamboat.

I will always love Kyle Schwarber 😍 #RedOctober
