It's here! Beyond the Blender: Dysphagia Made Easy is a free, electronic download cookbook for people with #dysphagia. Created by speech pathology students @Griffith_Uni, you can access a copy here: https://t.co/QwRxyP8m69

[Simone Howells PhD @simone_howells]

So cool to see not 1 but 2 articles in the latest edition of Dysphagia evaluating the role of machine learning/AI in screening for #dysphagia. This could be a gamechanger for health professionals, systems and most importantly, those with dysphagia! https://t.co/V1q7Eqiuf7

Today marks 10 years for me at @Griffith_Uni. Taking a chance on a new program was never so rewarding! Much has changed during this time but my energy and enthusiasm for supporting the next generation of speech pathologists is as strong as ever.

Just in case you've been wondering (and I'm sure you have), the map that comes up at the start of Neighbours is actually the Coorparoo/Greenslopes/Holland Park area of Brisbane.
