Is there a Mastodon server for the aphasia/SLP community? I don't tweet much but I learn a lot here from people with aphasia, researchers, and fellow clinicians around the world. (Many of you are engaging in the real-life equivalent at ASHA right now—wish I were there!)

Ditto nurses, and any other female-dominated industry. It has nothing to do w/complexity of job, level of schooling.
