it's been a minute... but I am here to provide an update that on Tuesday, I will be starting my long-awaited role @AAAS_STPF as a science policy fellow @DeptVetAffairs in @vahsrd! So very excited to dive into the world of policy in Washington DC
Thanks @smwilsonau for asking me to speak on how bureaucracy is stifling research by creating an ever growing ‘Mountain of small things’ academic.oup.com/brain/article/… langneurosci.org/podcast/
On the Language Neuroscience Podcast #31, I talk with @MasudHusain, EIC @Brain1878 about his editorial "A mountain of small things". Is the mountain of small things a bigger threat to science than the reproducibility crisis? Listen and see what you think! langneurosci.org/podcast/ep31

so honored to be included as a co-author on Deb's fantastic dissertation work, published @braincomms . Would have had major FOMO if not because this work is SO COOL and clinically relevant and a favorite project. Check out aphasia-friendly manuscript version for #accessibility
My dissertation work with @smwilsonau -- in which we show the importance of lesion *location* in predicting recovery from aphasia after stroke -- is finally out! Please check out the paper (plus its aphasia-friendly version!) at the link below: academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…
This!!! Exquisitely made. Disseminate widely! Proud to surround myself with literal winners :)
Ilina Bhaya-Grossman @bhaya_ilina is a PhD student in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Bioengineering program and Deb Levy @deb_f_levy is a post-doc at @UCSF. Their video is a wonderful balance between being educational and engaging. #CogSciMindChallenge youtu.be/z8L__Z0B-yE?si…
What an incredible line-up of speakers at this upcoming, #FREE, #public, #online, #musicscience event from @NIH: nccih.nih.gov/news/events/mu… Really looking forward to talks from some current colleagues, past mentors, and people I'm happy to call friends!
