Haven't used bluesky much yet but now is as good a time as any to start!
I lead the Behaviour, Health, Speech, and Hearing (BHaSHa) group in the Vanderbilt Music Cognition Lab, and this is a thread of 10 things I want to highlight from our work in 2025!

Congrats to Tara Henechowicz (now at @ibg.colorado.edu) for winning a (big!) trainee travel award to present our work at the Population Hearing Health Care Conference in Feb.
(she wrote the whole application while waiting for a flight - airport writing works! 😁)

Yay! So glad to have been a part of this team. Go @drsrishtin.bsky.social et al!!
New paper alert! Systematic epidemiological analyses of up to 39,000 people illuminate biological/clinical links between impaired musical rhythm abilities & disorders affecting speech-language development. International collaboration led by @drsrishtin.bsky.social, out in @natcomms.nature.com. 👇🧪
Musical rhythm abilities and risk for developmental speech-language problems and disorders: epidemiological and polygenic associations - Nature Communications
Impaired musical rhythm abilities and developmental speech-language related disorders are biologically and clinically intertwined. Here, the authors explore the correlation between the two traits, finding evidence of epidemiological associations and genetic overlap.
