Join us this Sunday at #MSUSciFest! In addition to learning about how we produce speech and how conditions like
#Parkinsonsdisease can affect communication, you can opt to SEE YOUR OWN SPEECH and get a print out of your voice!

Here's Thea saying "I owe you a yo-yo" 🪀

Had a great time with MSU's Graduate Women in Science chapter at the "Campfire Science" event tonight!

Did different kinds of science from the speechie stuff I usually do, and loved showing local families/community members how cool science can be!

Promo for the Science Fest: What can speech signals tell us about neurological disease? How do we produce speech? Speech occurs as a result of several highly coordinated movements between our lips, tongue, and vocal folds, all of which are directed by our brain. Some kinds of neurological diseases can affect movements in subtle or not-so-subtle ways, and these changes can affect how speech sounds as a result. Sometimes, speech changes can be the first indicator of a neurological condition such as Parkinson’s disease. How do we measure these changes? One way is to measure how other people hear and perceive speech differences, but another way is to directly measure the acoustic properties of speech itself! Session will include: 1. Hands-on demonstration showcasing how we can visualize and analyze our own acoustic speech signal 2. Special considerations in speech changes that are common in Parkinson’s disease.

Attendees of the annual @msuscifest.bsky.social STEAM Expo Weekend explored the science behind what we eat at the Thompson lab booth with Anuradha and Eleanor! Young participants explored how seeds and plant structure shape our nutrition and everyday food through hands-on demonstrations. #MSUSciFest
A woman leans over a table with a large plant research poster on it while gesturing to a corn plant and speaking to a young child and his father. An attendee listens as a woman speaks behind a table while holding up a dish of corn kernels. A woman picks up kernels of corn on a table surrounded by potted plants as an attendee watches.

When I'm not engaged in #SciComm or in class, I research plants🌿🌱🌳🌲🌼to better understand macro (large) scale patterns of biodiversity for conservation. I love working with large data and coding in R. Why is this important? See #TwitterPoster below

Anyone have some awesome #BlackInSTEAM folxs that should be amplified this month? I'd love to feature them on the @MSUSciFest social media (don't have to be from MSU or even Michigan, but those are cool too) 😊
