In recognition of International Stuttering Awareness Day on October 22, a series of free screenings of the 2017 documentary WHEN I STUTTER will be streamed online. REGISTER here: mailchi.mp/5e7a9535f673/upco… TRAILER and more information here: whenistutter.org/
@ek_kearney is a postdoc in the @GuentherLab at @BUSargent. Her research investigates the sensorimotor control of speech in those with and without motor speech disorders. She is passionate about EBP and removing barriers to #SLPs in accessing science to inform their practice. 5/

SimpleDIVA app update! ✨ We’ve had two updates this summer to roll out new features. It’s now possible to fit individual data, adjust upper and lower bounds for fitting parameters, use regularization, and output more detailed information for later statistical analysis 1/

Great news for international students in the US!
Replying to @gsiskind
So to summarize - The Trump Administration has rescinded the 7/6 F-1 students directive. Schools can go online if they want. No new I-20s needed. F-1 visas should be proceeding. Congratulations Harvard and the Wilmer Hale team. Big big win!
