On this episode, we welcome Drs. Rosemary Lester-Smith and Spencer Smith to the cast, two professors in UT's Communication Sciences & Disorders department. Dr. Smith is an audiologist by trade and studies speech perception in noise. Dr. Lester-Smith is a speech-language pathologist by trade and studies essential vocal tremor. As dueling clinician-scientists in adjacent fields, they offer unique insight into why it's important for researchers to pay attention to clinical practice and why it's important for clinicians to pay important to research! Oh, also they are both advisors for me and Maansi.

Hi friends! Sorry for the delay on this episode — Maansi and I were scrambling at the end of the semester to get stuff done.
It’s just us this time, and we are talking about something that is at the core of neuroscientific research — how the heck do we record data from the brain? Turns out there are a bunch of different ways, and each has its own pros and cons. Maansi and I give you the scoop.

Episode 7: New Frontiers
brainWaves: the neurocomm podcast
09/25/20 • 32 min
Hello to everybody that has been having a horrible 2020! We at brainWaves are left without a recording studio during the COVID-19 pandemic. But after six months of boredom, we decided it was time to solve the brain again. If we sound worse, it's because we are recording from the safety of our homes!
In this episode, we are (remotely) joined by undergraduate academic Rachel Sorrells, who recently published a paper in Frontiers For Young Minds in collaboration with our very own Maansi Desai! There's a twist though...FFYM is written for (and peer-reviewed) by kids!
