- Huge congrats to Julianne, who brilliantly defended her PhD today! Celebrating here with some Rita's Italian Ice 🤩
- Back home in Bloomington ❤️🏠
- The time has come. Somehow managed to fit our stuff in the bags we came with... Is that some weird adult gold medal? See you soon, Bloomington!
- Reposted by Brielle Stark, PhD {she}ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

- If you'll be at Clinical Aphasiology Conference #CAC2025 in May, I'm excited to talk to you about inner speech's role in treated naming recovery in #aphasia! Thanks to great reviewers at JSLHR for helping us improve the paper (almost there!). Preprint to be updated soon.
- Two undergraduate teams from our lab took home the top prizes at the Midwest Undergrad CogSci Conference this past week. Hugely proud! www.neuralresearchlab.com/journal/2025...
- Greater Sydney was just showing off this weekend! Stunning weather. 🤩
- The Northern Beaches of Sydney did not disappoint. My favorite bird in Aus also gave me a beautiful shot 🤩🌊

- I was support staff for autistic kids and adults for ten years. Not only is this false, it's a dangerous rhetoric that feeds disinformation and spawns prejudice.
- Hey #cogneuro and #cogsci and #languagescience friends - what are we using as a free alternative to Biorender for making fancy schematics and such?
- A little reflection on the last four months as a Fulbright in Australia
- The time has come! I'm so excited for Julianne to share her groundbreaking work on inner speech with the world. Stay tuned for quite a few cool papers coming out from this work! Big thanks to William Orr Dingwall Foundation for funding her dissertation.
- Reposted by Brielle Stark, PhD {she}The NSF's flagship fellowship program typically gives offers to 2,000+ young scientists. This year, in the face of looming budget cuts, that number was halved: only 1,000 received an offer. Our story on what that means for the science talent pipeline: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Had a great time sharing about our test-retest, #multimodal #communication #aphasia & peer dataset at the University of Technology Sydney Graduate School of Health seminar series today. Join AphasiaBank (totally free) and get full access to our data! aphasia.talkbank.org/access/Engli...
- Checked out the early 1800s convict district on Cockatoo Island yesterday, and did the Museum of Sydney. Continuing to learn a lot about & from the aboriginal people. Last month in Aus
- To be perfectly frank, the USA is not and has not been a "world leader" across many things *except* biomedical research. This could be no more, thanks to what is happening to the NIH and many others. This is a travesty for not only science, but the beneficiaries of that science: the people.
- Thoroughly enjoying my time in Brisbane! Thanks for hosting us today @aphasiologist1.bsky.social & @smwilson.bsky.social !
- Reposted by Brielle Stark, PhD {she}OK here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for! Our advert for 5 posts here at Glasgow: Cognitive neuroscience/psychology. Closing date May 12 - please spread the word www.nature.com/naturecareer...
- Mistakenly emailed the wrong person today. At least it wasn't about secret 💣 information so I guess I really don't feel all that bad.

- Have a high school girl interested in #neuroscience? Can't recommend @hjblock.bsky.social 's Girls with Nerve summer camp enough! Sign up is open until April 11! www.blocklab.net/girls-with-n...
- Just had a paper unsubmitted & sent back so I can "Please use a space around any math operators; report p values using lower case, italics font with no leading zero before the decimal point." Respectfully... can't your editorial office do this? Is this not part of the fee system?
- A year ago, more than 90% of our faculty voted No Confidence in our university's president. Today, the Board of Trustees raises her salary to $900,000. Excuse me, what?
- Reposted by Brielle Stark, PhD {she}President Trump says rates of pediatric cancer are way up, but his incompetent fanatics on DOGE fired my guest tonight, Dr. Lauren McGee, a remarkable pediatric cancer researcher who was sacked from NIH as part of Musk’s Valentine’s Day onslaught.

- Reposted by Brielle Stark, PhD {she}🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
