@jgeller_phd @OSFramework Yup, me too.

Am I the only person who is extremely unhappy with the new design of projects on OSF (https://t.co/ROuHCzeFJD)? Files and GitHub links have now moved to the least intuitive location, making existing repositories so much less useful. Hey @OSFramework, please reconsider this change

In non-grant-related news, I've packaged up some tools for working with REAPER in R. (For the uninitiated, REAPER is a very nice pitch tracking tool made by David Talkin which works particularly well for non-modal speech) https://t.co/QCTkO5T2Ud

As a member of @UniCologne with a Jewish background and an Israeli citizenship, I find this deeply disturbing. If history books will mention our university in 2024 it will be more likely due to this reckless political theater, rather than academic achievements.

I don’t mind the fake snow and the absence of Jewish Hanukkah (which I don’t celebrate). But I couldn’t help thinking that history will remember 2024 and our university with a completely different “achievement” — the curtailment of academic freedom.

In 2024, Prof. Dr. Mukherjee used his power to disinvite a highly acclaimed (Jewish) scholar from receiving a prestigious prize because she signed a petition in solidarity with Palestine and the struggle against apartheid and occupation. (https://t.co/3hyHoaMpze)

We used the ProPer analysis toolbox to uncover some unexpected trends related to both pitch contours and syllabic weight distribution.

Sounds you can’t hear might actually make you dance more!
You probably have lots of questions about this – and so do we! Stay tuned as the research team on this project tries to pinpoint exactly what causes this effect:

@musicandthemind WOW, what a cool finding! How low can we go? 😉 It's almost as if the frequency domain is exploiting low-frequency oscillations to flirt with the time domain (getting closer to the "rhythmic" range of about 0.5–8 Hz). NOICE!

Well deserved, Hauke. Yet another interesting work using our ProPer analysis toolbox (https://t.co/CSxYVXWPB3):

[IfL-Phonetik @IfL_Phonetik]

Congratulations! Hauke Lindstädt received the faculty award for outstanding M.A. theses by the University of Cologne's Faculty of Arts and Humanities (2024 summer semester). His thesis is entitled "Can you believe that? The prosody of non genuine polar questions in English".
