I'm still recovering from back-to-back conferences last week. First was the Aging and Speech Communication conference at Indiana University. Held every other year this is a really nice conference looking at different facets of communication in aging, including challenges related to hearing loss. Our lab had two posters (one presented by me, another presented by Chad Rogers), and some collaborative work with Kristin Van Engen was also presented (by Kristin).
After a brief stop back in St. Louis to teach a class I was off to Chicago for the Society for the Neurobiology of Language (SNL). SNL is one of my favorite meetings and this year was no exception. I was fortunate to be invited to give a talk as part of a symposium on language and aging, along with Naftali Raz, Lorraine Tyler, and Pascale Tremblay. I presented some brand new data we have been collecting at Penn (which will hopefully make an appearance in a future post).
I'm done with conference travel for a while, so I'll have time to focus on actually getting things done in the lab!
