Have an opportunity to support a postdoc/PhD student thru NIDCD diversity supplement. Who has experience in game design (eg story-boarding, Unreal/Unity coding), and wants to help #FunLab #gamify auditory assessments for kids in HMD-based VR? 🕹

We are hosting a free Spring Break Research Camp from March 11-15. Campers will spend the week attending different arts, dance, theater and STEM workshops. They will also have the opportunity to participate in Boys Town research studies. Register here: https://t.co/PF34nXJXiu

It's a very validating moment seeing this reviewer comment on my first independent work without mentors.

Please help us spread the word about a great opportunity for kids with #hearingaids to travel to Omaha for research participation in the #CASILab. Btw, have you heard Omaha has the #1 zoo? Here at @BoysTownHosp we like to mix research and fun for kids to have a good time! 🥳

@megseekosh I keep a two-way audio communication system for sound booths with windows. Two-way part of my sound system for experiment.

My PhD thesis was partly born out of the anxiety as a non-native English speaker. 😬 Grateful for that time to grow professionally while battling my own insecurity. I miss the interactions w/ my L2 participants dearly.

It took my entire PhD to feel comfortable (not necessarily good at) giving talks in English despite doing it 2x annually at intl conferences and 10 yrs up to that point being in the US edu system. And another 5+ yrs with scientific writing for publications/grants. I feel seen 👇🏼

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Scientific writing & presentation is a skill set to be learned. Have more patience for yourself and colleagues bc beyond language, the scientific (often mixed with social) culture is much harder for non-natives to see/learn bc it varies cross-discipline and evolves over time.

We need help recruiting children (5+yrs) who are Deaf/hard of hearing for a virtual research study!

We're looking for kids receiving hearing aids or cochlear implants for the first time.

Learn more about the Audiovisual Speech Processing Lab from Dr. Kaylah Lalonde in this #ResearchInAMinute. ⏰ If you are interested in participating in our studies, please contact [email protected]. #BoysTownResearch #BTResearchInAMinute

[Boys Town National Research Hospital @BoysTownHosp]

Kids of all ages are invited to participate in research this summer. Participation helps researchers improve life-changing care for children with hearing, communication, behavioral and mental health challenges. Compensation is provided. https://t.co/It5Tb2VX7N #BoysTownResearch

[Merry Spratford @MerrySpratford]

Who knows a peds-focused graduating extern or clinical audiologist with an interest in research? Join our super fun & productive team at the University of Iowa to do high quality research for kids who are hard of hearing!

Learning about sound in the @BoysTownHosp tour of a no-echo anechoic chamber. #nescifest

[Ellen Peng @_EllenPeng]

@megseekosh @NIDCD I didn't have any interim products to cite. But biosketch seems an okay place for them to go into. It sounds like a good question to ask the PO for clarification/precedent. Good luck!

[Boys Town National Research Hospital @BoysTownHosp]

Come tour the anechoic chamber and the #BoysTownRV next week during NE SciFest!
