Incredible work by @olgakepinska: Study of 150+ kindergarteners ranging from monolingual to quintilingual (!!!) demonstrates that linguistic diversity is reflected in brain mechanisms for English word processing.

#SOR / #SLP twitter! I need a standardized Eng phonological awareness task for a new study of #reading & #dyslexia. Wish list:.- Spans 3rd-5th grade.- IDEALLY uses a recording rather than relies on identical pronunciation across testers.- Fast!.Recommendations? Please share/RT!.

SO I'm looking to put together a panel of recent PhDs who transitioned to #altac to share their stories and answer Qs. Folks with #neuroscience or #cogsci backgrounds esp. welcome for this audience. Twitterverse, anyone who might be interested? @AltAcChats.

I recently heard a PhD student ask a professor if industry was a feasible alternative to pursuing TT jobs. The prof's answer was essentially "I don't think so? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯".

Also - Conclusions from our study of comorbid #dyslexia and #dyscalculia from this amazing team at @mitbrainandcog and @IHPResearch. Comorbid reading + math difficulties associated with poor #EF AND visual processing differences but no differences in #phonologicalawareness

New bilingual reading paper alert! .We find that English word reading supports Spanish reading comprehension, and that Spanish RC in turn supports English RC. ALSO: cross-linguistic differences in associations between vocabulary, morphology and reading!

New paper alert! 🚨 We find language-specific differences in English word reading between Spanish- and Chinese-English bilingual children. Bilingualism isn't binary!.Led by the brilliant @xinsun1007 who you should definitely hire as a postdoc.

It's finally online now after a long "in-press" wait! Check out our new paper on bilingual child word reading development. What’s in a word? Cross‐linguistic influences on Spanish–English and Chinese–English bilingual children’s word reading development

This was one of my dissertation studies, co-authored with Rachel Eggleston, @xinsun1007, Chi-Lin Yu, @KehuiZhang, @Nia_Nick, @hu_xiaosu & Ioulia Kovelman. Very excited for it to be out in the world.

New paper alert in @DyslexiaIDA! We used fNIRS to study morphological processing in SPEECH in typical and impaired readers ages 6-11. Reading comprehension skill was associated with neural differences in auditory processing of derivational affixes! See
