Couldn't have done it without you!! 🎓
ALT Four women standing close together and smiling indoors. From left to right: the first woman has straight gray hair and wears a light blouse; the second woman has dark hair, glasses, and a bright blue shirt; the third woman has long brown hair, a white tank top, and black pants; and the fourth woman wears a pink top with a colorful striped shawl
Coming out of social media hiding to congratulate @Cgershy, whose time as a PhD candidate (including acquisition and analysis of ~200 fMRI scanning sessions and mastery of two quite different areas of the literature) culminated in a fantastic thesis defense today. What rocks!!!
One last recruitment push to finish my dissertation work!
I need ~5 additional Deaf native signer participants! $100, 2-3 hours of your time. No metal implants. Transportation to and from campus is covered. Please share widely with folks in DMV area!

ESPN has had the NBA since 2002.
But Iowa-UConn's Final Four matchup was the network's most-watched basketball game—men’s or women’s, pro or collegiate—ever.
Update: If you are a Gallaudet student interested in participating, but worried about transportation, we will pay for your Uber to and from Georgetown University campus! 🚗🚗

RECRUITING: Deaf native signers in DMV area for a MRI study at Georgetown University (IRB approved). 1 visit to campus, 2-3 hours, $100 payment.
Help us understand how early exposure to sign language affects lateralization and processing in non-linguistic visuospatial domains!
Relatedly, I am beginning a new fMRI project asking how exposure to a visual language modality (sign language) may change neural structure/function in non-linguistic domains.

Crowd sourcing: If you have MRI scanning resources (safety procedures, what it's like to go in an MRI scanner, etc.) in sign language and/or experience making ASL communication accessible during MRI scans and are willing to share, please DM me!

On June 3rd, our @kellymartin418 became DR. MARTIN!!! Her defense talk, "Language System #Plasticity in Healthy #Development and after #Perinatal Stroke" turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined. We are so incredibly proud.

I have been struggling over the past week(s) to put my thoughts into words; this thread does it beautifully
My cousins & best friend lives Israel. I personally feel a strong tie to Israel. Yet, I can unlearn the one-sided narrative that I was taught. I am no less Jewish for it.
As Jews we are told from a young age that our identities are intrinsically tied to the modern State of Israel.
It is taught to us in Hebrew School, in services, and is a deeply held belief by many of our parents, grandparents and family members.

Also, If you ever need a collaborator for that effects of COVID bubble on skilled actions in the NBA idea....👀🏀🤝

Really fantastic talk and Q&A about the impact of motivation/cognition interactions on skilled actions by @TarazLee for the student selected IPN seminar today! Thank you so much, Dr. Lee!
