The first in a set of interactive 3D atlases of vocal  tract musculature which may be used for teaching. It shows a subset of neuromuscular compartments (NMCs) of the tongue. See the poster at #SMC2020 tomorrow for evidence for this finer muscle structure.

What makes work meaningful is mostly not 💰

This paper finds 60% of meaningfulness at work comes from non-economic factors: autonomy (that one has choices & authority over tasks), competence (a feeling of mastery), and relatedness (connection to others). httpdocs.iza.org/dp13112.pdfp

Dear about to graduate SPs. It’s a job seekers market. You want support, learning opportunities and a yes culture. What you think is the best might not be. Reach out, dig deeper, ask around. #SLP2B

For my #speechpathology clients, I am present, patient and flexible. I am ready to put on my counsellor hat. And I will always get on the floor and have a laugh with my kiddos. Don’t get caught in your own head as a clinician - clients first. #SLP2Bchat#SPweek2022
