Chicago! Tomorrow, I'm doing this fun thing! Come hang out and watch people do improv about my science!

[Melissa Baese-Berk @MtwoBtwo]

As always, I am in total agreement with my Frave.

After the debate, confused how polling shows that American people are undecided on an ice cream cone (whether or not it's your favorite flavor) vs getting hit by an eighteen-wheeler carting flaming chemicals careening diagonally across the highway.

Come hang out with the most fun language science folks around! This Friday!!

ACROSS ACOUSTICS

New! In this episode, we talk to @MtwoBtwo (@UCSPPLab) and @perj44 (@UA_AS), about why instructors should use a variety of voices in the classroom, and how to talk about other ways of speaking when one feels ill-equipped to do so: https://t.co/RluLJxi6i0.

@ellen_adair Well OBVIOUSLY you are the best and smartest Frave of all Fraves and have the best baseball takes

SPECIAL ISSUE: RECONSIDERING CLASSIC IDEAS IN SPEECH

This article argues that the role of intelligibility measures must be reconsidered in fields such as #linguistics, communication disorders, and psychology. https://t.co/XXShz2CDgU

Me: the game looks cold.
Pete: at least it’s not raining.
Me: it never rains at Autzen Stadium.

[Melissa Baese-Berk @MtwoBtwo]

Oh, I see I got home just in time to watch the Craig Kimbrel nausea roller coaster.

[Melissa Baese-Berk @MtwoBtwo]

One reason I love talking about this stuff is that I get to promote kindness in the world. I’m so lucky to do this job.

Professor Baese-Berk @MtwoBtwo of the University of Chicago has simple advice for helping people who are learning your language—meet them halfway. Dive in with us this week on Top of Mind at the link in our bio or on any podcast platform.

I talked to the delightful @TopofMindpod about adapting to unfamiliar accents and other things: https://t.co/sxxV2oxeAD

I also forgot that cheering for the Phillies means I also booked a ticket for the Craig Kimbrel rollercoaster of nausea and anxiety, which I have lots of familiarity with as a Red Sox and Cubs fan.

[Melissa Baese-Berk @MtwoBtwo]

To be clear. I am on the Phillies bandwagon but refrain from cheering for Bryce Harper.

@BCB_Sara What a dreamboat.
