It was fascinating to hear about Prof. @tessf10.bsky.social, @steveabertawe.bsky.social & Dr Theo Mills' work this PM.

Their site contains a range of word association data to investigate the mental lexicon, including semantic dementia & cancer care.

With the beatific Stax-inspired "Knowledge," @edwyncollins.bsky.social lets go of his "old self" in favor of who he is today. I spoke with him and his wife/manager Grace Maxwell about aphasia, optimism, Orange Juice, and more for my newsletter.

If you haven't met Jan before, here she is explaining #Aphasia in her own words. This video has been seen thousands of times on other platforms💜Jan had a #stroke 20yrs ago when she was just 46. For the 1st year post stroke she had no words at all. She is very skilled at using #TotalCommunication 💜
