Imagine being an expert in an area but your team doesn’t want you to participate in the project. What does that mean?

I hosted a round table discussion at the Clinical Aphasiology Conference 2023. Great discussion moving science forward.

A man was arrested and charged after being found on North Carolina A&T’s campus with a revolver, handgun, rifle, two shotguns, a machete, brass knuckles, a stun gun, a crossbow, a sword, 12 knives, a baton, a window breaker, pepper spray and “holy water” https://t.co/tVsgUgmMpc

Shout to all the patient @wmata employees today who coordinated the shady grove detour. Y’all were amazing and the longer commute helped me finish reading.

Do you think we should diversify task stimuli to better understand motor skill learning and neuroplasticity ? Or at least compare these types of exercises.

[D. Seles @drDSeles]

If I could have asked my question? (Part 2)
Motor skill learning

[D. Seles @drDSeles]

Motor skill learning research uses aerobic exercises like riding a bike or walking for stimuli task. We know cross-crawl exercises and dancing use working memory and increases neuroplasticity by integrating both hemispheres of the brain.

Do you think science implementation in rehabilitation could be more successful if researchers considered clinical challenges in study protocols? Or if researchers first observed in clinical settings to understand reality from laboratory?

[D. Seles @drDSeles]

If I could have asked my question? (Part 1)
Science Implementation

You listen for 90 mins. Write down your question. Build courage to walk to the mic. Stand in the line silently rehearsing the question. TIME. They stop taking questions.

[D. Seles @drDSeles]

Real-life clinical working demands are not factored into laboratory studies. Which can make new research findings unrealistic to incorporate in clinical settings.

@TamarBraxtonHer @EvelynLozada @BravoWWHL It was everything! Love, fashion, men, vulnerability, tears, and commitment. Who’s got next? Season 2

[D. Seles @drDSeles]

@EvelynLozada @peacock Just finished and was in here crying with you. congratulations. Love wins! I could tell day 1. In hindsight, could you?

I just voted for South Carolina State University on https://t.co/7Xe1gG7cM3. The 2023 Home Depot Retool Your School Campus Improvement Grant Program is Back. Vote today at https://t.co/h68fhe5tvX

Dear Scientists,
If your study sample has Black people (insert minority) but your control sample does not have Black people. START OVER . You’re contributing to disparity research.

Medical gaslighting is real. For two weeks, I’ve experienced numbness and tingling on my left side. It became so frightening that I went to the ER. They tried to convince me that I was just stressed and anxious. The nurse suggested that it could be radiation from cellphone use.
