In honor of @geo3550's historic collective action and the return of @UMichFootball, an update to the @UMich fight song ✊🏼 #StrikeForSafeCampus
(a kind stranger pointed out an audio glitch in my first tweet so here's a corrected version for internet posterity)
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.
‼️📰🗨️🧠Our work on language typology in multilingual children is JUST OUT in Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/c4IWQ @FumikoHoeft @RebeccaAMarks @LeoZekel @stephanie_haft ‼️

I’m recruiting PhD students to join my lab next fall @URIHealthSci! If you’re interested in studying children’s cognitive development in applied settings and learning cool ways to analyze longitudinal data, please reach out! Check out our lab projects ⬇️

@FumikoHoeft @devin_kearns @DrJamesBooth @tiffany_peltier @tiffanyphogan any favorite PA assessments for this age range?

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)_/¯"

SO proud of our high school summer interns through @BU_Tweets RISE program and the amazing science they’ve done this summer @mitbrainandcog. Way to go, Max!

🧠Come work with me!🧠 I'm looking for a lab manager for my new lab at @UTSW and @BBSutdallas to help with studies of #language, #cognition, #neuroimaging, #cerebellum, and #autism. Apply here jobs.utsouthwestern.edu/job/… or send me a message at [email protected].
Excited to share the first preprint from my postdoc with @Joanna22c! We found #SEL #resilience predicted reading (& mediated risk) over the 1st year of #COVID19 remote school in 16-18 y.o. adolescents with learning disabilities. @BEAMstudies @IHPResearch psyarxiv.com/p7eyw/

Thanks @IMBESoc for a terrific poster session yesterday and a wonderful @um_psychology & @UMichEducation reunion! Love these connections across 3 #CPEP generations.
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! tandfonline.com/eprint/ZIC6D…
Spanish RC -> English RC finding replicates recent work with @wagley_neelima in @SRCDtweets doi.org/10.1111/cdev.13748

Very pleased to announce that I’ve reached a new milestone: I have received THREE (3) manuscripts rejections this week!!! And also my dog caught a bunny.

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 srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…
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 doi.org/10.1007/s11881-021-0…
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.
