Deborah Levy

Last year, I met a woman who'd just had a left pre-central tumor removed. She's brilliant, kind, and an excellent communicator—but with some curious difficulties mapping sounds onto movements and letters onto sounds. Interested? See new case study in JNS: thejns.org/caselessons/vi…

Very excited to announce my new role in the @Princeton Writing Program! Can't wait to get started teaching first years about the brain and how to write about it :)

Just over one week left to apply for the @cshlmeetings Genetics & Neurobiology of Language course meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx?c…

Levy et al. use #machinelearning to predict language across the first year of recovery from aphasia post-#stroke, explaining nearly 2/3 of the variance in outcomes. @deb_f_levy @sarahmschneck @MarianneCasilio @smwilsonau @annakasdan shorturl.at/aBK27

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…

Super proud of this—thanks, @cogsci_soc!—and stoked to have gotten to collab with @bhaya_ilina, who simply rules. (In addition to being an amazing scientist, she also drew everything in this whole dang video! Can you believe?!)

Meet the winners of the 2023 CogSci #MindChallenge 🥇@bhaya_ilina and @deb_f_levy, from @ChangLabUcsf at @UCSF 🥈 John Hollander, from @uofmemphis 🥉 Alex Carstensen, from @ASU, and @anjie_cao & Sarah Wu, from @Stanford 🌟 Qi Guo, from @UCBerkeley Check out their videos!👇

Thanks @ASHAJournals for awarding @annakasdan, @katmbryan, @smwilsonau, @M_de_R, (X-less) Dominique Herrington, and myself a 2022 ASHA Editor's Award--stay tuned for more accessible research from this academic team!

Trying to think of a quote tweet that will accurately capture my love, admiration, and gratitude for @annakasdan…simply can’t! The world of science is now better with Dr. Kasdan in it! HUGE congrats to this sparkling gem of a human

Huge congratulations to our newest PhD: Dr Kasdan @annakasdan passed her defense with shining colors! We are SO proud!!!! @VanderbiltENT @VanderbiltBrain #musicscience #slpeeps

Seconding @annakasdan's endorsement of @GwilliamsL ! Check out her post if you're interested in managing a super exciting new lab!

“They’ll start their own journals that are non-profit and open-access.” Hello 👋 from @jneurolang!

Assistant professors in communication sciences and disorders in the US, take part in our study!

Had the best time at my first @AphasiaAccess Summit this weekend, presenting w @deb_f_levy on the Aphasia Group of Middle Tennessee, founded and led by Dominique Herrington! Such a well organized and inspiring conference, very possibly my favorite one of my career.

Check out our new paper in @Brain1878. We recruited 334 acute stroke patients & we describe acute aphasia & subsequent recovery trajectories with respect to the main explanatory factor which is NEUROANATOMY. Six years of work from our incredible team, a labor of love!

Late to the party in retweeting this, but I got a nice little surprise listening to this one—thanks for the shout-out @liinapy!
