What a great session! #ATS2025

Expertly moderated by Andrew, Jacky, and Kelly.

Intrigued! I am fascinated by how language shapes and reflects clinical norms in medicine and I bet this is relevant… can’t wait to read (and from a fellow badger!)
My book reveals the mostly hidden effects of talking *on talkers.* Talking boosts focus & learning, regulates emotions, changes perception, & more. The reason lies in how utterance planning for talking works. It's a book for gen'l audiences, but w scientific claims for production & its consequences

As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I thought I had learned about TB.

But, it was so much more to see this intractable disease through the lens of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social.
Highly recommended reading!
