Come work with me!! USU is hiring 3 faculty members focused on Technology Enhanced Health and Wellness. It's a college-wide initiative, so applicants can apply to any department within the College of Education and Human Services. More info can be found here: careers-usu.icims.com/jobs/9700/as...
A bit late in posting this, because...the world right now.
But this seems like as good a time as ever to share our new article highlighting why DEI efforts in the area of social communication and autism are a really good thing. Like- you know- maybe something worth keeping around 🤷♀️ 🤯 🤦♀️ rdcu.be/edAY9

I can't think of a more supportive group to postdoc with. Happy to answer any questions about my experience being mentored by Stephanie and Tyson(@healthandstats.bsky.social) and working with @kaitylansford.bsky.social and @sarahyl.bsky.social.
Our new paper led by @sarah-foster.bsky.social compares rapport between autistic groups, non-autistic groups, and mixed groups of autistic and non-autistic adults during a building activity. We found that the all-autistic groups… journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
I'm excited to share my first registered report on social interactions in @journalautism.bsky.social! Our study explores how social motor synchrony – the natural mirroring of movements – impacts rapport between autistic, neurotypical, and mixed dyads. Thread 👇

Lots of different options for research areas/mentors, but if you are looking for something in the area of speech coordination/conversation/perceptual learning, Stephanie Borrie is looking for someone to join her lab and is a phenomenal mentor ☺️
Passing on from colleagues at USU for anyone interested in a postdoc that transitions into a faculty position: careers-usu.icims.com/jobs/8708/jo...
I would love to be added!
@sarahyl.bsky.social, I would love that! We have connected with some Facebook groups, but they are all specific to Houston, so probably not any that you are a part of 😊
A flyer for a study recruiting autistic teenagers at the University of Houston. Participants must be between 9-17, fluent in English and have an official autism diagnosis. There is a QR code for people interested in participating in the study.
We are recruiting! If you know any autistic teenagers in the Houston area who may be interested or if you have connections to groups or people who would be willing to spread the word, please let us know!
Thanks for putting this together! I would love to be added!
A flyer from Old Dominion University invites associate and full professors in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) to participate in a virtual focus group about open science practices. The flyer highlights no prior knowledge of open science is needed, and focus groups aim to enhance recommendations for open science use in CSD. Participation includes completing a consent form and a one-hour Zoom focus group. Eligible participants must be U.S.-based researchers in CSD. Contact information for Dr. Danika Pfeiffer and a QR code, alongside a link (https://tinyurl.com/OS-screening), are provided for sign-up. The design includes colorful geometric patterns on the left.
Are you an associate or full professor in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) in the U.S.? We invite you to participate in a 1-hour virtual focus group to discuss #OpenScience practices in CSD. If interested, please fill out the screening form here: tinyurl.com/OS-screening
Great list! Could I please be added?
Our new paper out today led by my graduate student Sarah Foster shows that facial expressivity differences in autism are related to less favorable first impressions formed by non-autistic people, particularly in a job interview context.

Thanks for organizing this. I would love to be added!
ICYMI, here's my Starter Park re: autism research - please share, and let me know if there's anyone else I need to add!

Thank you for doing this! Could I be added to the list?
🙋♀️
I've started working on a (very incomplete!) starter pack for social interaction researchers! If you're working in this space, please asked to be added (or suggest others)! Meant to be inclusive of many disciplines, methods, interaction types, and types of interacting agents: go.bsky.app/44VAEhU
Amazing. I would love to be added!
New pre-print (tx @chrismmcox.bsky.social ): The social context of turn-taking osf.io/preprints/ps... Comments welcome!
TL;DR: Response latency in conversation depends on a multidimensional interplay of individual differences, turn-by turn information flow & contextual affordances. Thread to come!
New preprint! ▶️ osf.io/pt942
How successfully do observers guess the diagnostic status of people having conversations? Well… it depends on observer neurotype, if conversations are same- or cross-neurotype, and if you’re judging from photos vs videos. 🧵
Wow- what a great list! A few others (that may or may not fit what you are looking for):

-- Ochi et al., 2019
-- Cola et al., 2022
-- Plank et al., 2023

Research article titled 'Acoustic and Kinematic Predictors of Intelligibility and Articulatory Precision in Parkinson’s Disease' by Austin Thompson and Yunjung Kim. Published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR). The abstract outlines the study's purpose, methods, results, and conclusions on the relationships between perceptual, acoustic, and kinematic measures in Parkinson's disease, focusing on intelligibility and articulatory precision.
1/ Excited to share our new study in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) on predictors of speech intelligibility and articulatory precision in #Parkinsons Disease (PD). Here's what we found. 🧵

I've finally got the chance to use #Autoscore in #rstats (by @healthandstats.bsky.social) to calculate speech intelligibility and it's so easy I could cry. 😍
Interesting about task mattering more for turn-taking. I will definitely keep my eye out for an interested student!
@fusaroli.bsky.social, I think it would be really interesting to extend this to phonetic/acoustic/prosodic conversational strategies, esp. given that the linguistic difference here is at the level of the speech signal.
As always, great work by this team! 🤩 I really loved the consideration of the interplay between local and global contextual factors.
