It’s conference season and trust Sabina to make the best out of it! These photos are a glimpse of her at the 18th Meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language, Geneva 🇨🇭 and 64th Academy of Aphasia Meeting, University of Liège 🇧🇪 .

Sabina presented her meta-analysis on diagnostic accuracy of multidomain aphasia batteries by administration duration, co-authored with Laine Cialdella and Dr. E. Susan Duncan, the PI of Language Imaging & Brain Research (LIBRe) lab! The meta-analysis examined whether the diagnostic performance of multidomain aphasia batteries varies according to assessment length and administration time.

Their finding suggests that brief aphasia batteries can achieve sensitivity and specificity comparable to more comprehensive batteries- an important practical advantage in clinical and research settings where assessment time is limited.

Keep researching, Sabina! 👏

One of the perks of being a graduate student is the opportunity to travel around the world to share your research with others and LEARN from them too.🙂

The Neurolinguistics Lab was represented at the Science of Aphasia conference in Bordeaux 🇫🇷, last week. Silvia Hargrove, our PhD candidate, presented on the Dissociation of Lexical Retrieval and Inflection in Bilingual Speakers with Aphasia, while our master's student at Lehman College, Cassiady Perard, shared their study on silent and pause markers in Primary Progressive Aphasia. Of course, the lab PI, Dr. Mira Goral, was there to cheer them on!

Congratulations to both students! 👏

We're delighted to have you in our SLHS community, Dr. Huyck! To know more about our new faculty member, check out this post.

Julia Huyck studies why making sense of sound can be difficult, especially for neurodiverse people, and brings a personal connection to the research.
