@theNEW_ashley @PittCSD Congratulations, professor!!

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

@LauerLab Honestly this is so disappointing to see such a modest increase after their task force recommendations last year. Students and post-docs need to make livable wages if we want diverse talent to have access to science.

@lianna_sinclair …who is representing The Gays™?

@theNEW_ashley @brainlanglab @mhamptonwray @PittCSD They got you PASTRIES?! BRB, reporting my hostile workplace.

@theNEW_ashley I’m just saying that if you have not taken the train over to NYC to see Titanique, the Celine Dion parody musical, you ABSOLUTELY MUST.

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

@theNEW_ashley Thank you so much! I really appreciated your question too!

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

I think this title slide may have given my audience unrealistic expectations about what was to come. (Way too much information about AI tools to detect and predict hearing loss, and only 3 other Britney references)

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

Excited to be back in DC presenting “Detect. Predict. Prevent. Reimagining the future of hearing healthcare” this Friday!

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

Seriously so excited to see this work! If you want another reason to move to speech in noise testing, check out the latest from @StevenGianakas and the team at Stanford!

@NickSReed Half elf cleric (trickery domain). I might have made another choice had I known that would also be the first companion you meet…

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

Honestly, why do you care why someone wants an extension? I have literally 0 interest in spending my time to wring excuses out of struggling or grieving folks. And if you make your policy that no reason is required for extensions, then no one is “getting away” with anything…

[Dr. Taylor van Doren ☕️ @taylor_vandoren]

I just had a student email me to let me know they would send a copy of their grandmother's obituary to prove that she really died. Whoever made students believe this was necessary was cruel.

Trying to celebrate a patriotic holiday in the wake of three major Supreme Court decisions that basically fucks over minorities in America gives off the same vibe as drinking orange juice right after brushing your teeth.

[Riley DeBacker @debackEAR]

@LauraCocoPhD Okay but genuine question: Does this mean you booked yourself a hotel room to get away and go write somewhere or is this part of a program? Because I had never considered the first option!

Queer🦻folks! If you’re at #AAA2023, come kick off a new community with us! An informal get together will follow a talk on supporting queer students and we’re hoping to get an understanding of how our community can support one another so we can support our patients and profession
