Is she connected to Women Who Run? It’s a great resource in Omaha for help with postcard writing, canvassing, etc

I mentored a high school student who got published in the Journal for Emerging Investigators. After hours of navigating the platform, we hit ‘submit’ and her face drops, “I expected confetti. Like when I submitted my college applications.”

Cover of the book Escape by Stephan Fishbach. The background is a distorted, disturbing view through island greenery. A boom mic can be seen just entering the scene

Since you seem to like the Traitors, Stephan Fishbach of US Survivor just published this fictionalized account of a reality strategy game contestant. My copy of Escape came in the mail yesterday so no personal review. But I’ve heard that it is simultaneously quite realistic but quite unserious.

Protest sign that reads “Kristi Noem is lying”

Omaha showed up for today’s protest against the paramilitary occupation of Minneapolis and ICE’s executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’ve been to dozens of protests at 72nd and Dodge. I have never seen this many protesters and this level of overwhelming support from passing cars.

A picture of Donald Trump at a lecture along with a quote from his speech: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” —Donald Trump, January 23, 2016

Ten years ago, he told us what he expected from his supporters. His as he predicted, he has committed crimes and they still voted for him. He continues to lead members at every level of his administration in criminal acts. When will we hold him accountable?

(1) Iron iron iron (2) keep tension on your thread as you thread your machine or it’s likely to knot (aka nest). (3) Drawstring bags are a great starter project: There’s tons of YouTube tutorials; They don’t require much fabric; pretty much anything you do will, in fact, result in a usable bag.

Four cats are lined up in the kitchen eating tuna. From left to right there is an orange and white long-hair, a tortie, a grey American short hair, and a grey part Maine coon.

It’s tuna time! (We’ve operantly conditioned them to come to the kitchen when we whistle. It’s how we get Hal (L) to come home when his outdoor adventure is going longer than our schedules allow.)

Would you show some love to Jess.Inthecities on instagram? After spending time on the seas, she’s a chief leading coast guard recruitment in Minneapolis (with hopes of being transferred to Omaha/KC before retirement)

Stimulus Labels Support Declarative but Not Procedural Memory in Children With and Without Hearing Loss Purpose: Children with hearing loss show deficits in sequential learning, a form of procedural memory, and often perform poorly on verbal serial ...

Labeling pictures with words supports short-term memory more than relying on prior procedural learning. Early implanted children benefit from verbal recoding as much as their typically hearing peers. https://on.asha.org/3LT7m96

Screenshot from KETV reads “October 18: Omaha, near 42 and William St. this Omaha yard haunted takes visitors through the horrors of one of William Shakespeare’s most famous pieces of work. The Scottish Graveyard features the three witches, who told Macbeth that he would be king, as well as the tombstones of those who were murdered.” It is accompanied by an image of a screaming witch lit with red lights.

My yard just made the local news’ list of Halloween yard haunts. Can I add this to my CV?

I miss Wonderlab so much!

Wow! I have an appointment with my pulmonologist Monday morning. He doesn’t even have a Covid Vaccine for me yet!

Had the urge to remind Apple of the correct name for the Gulf of Mexico, but it won’t let me send the issue.

#BB27 has enough social awareness to make OTEV Animal Farm meets the Godfather but can’t bring themselves to edit Riley as the groomer he is? This is what happens when the sociology major gets theory classes but no practical implementation.

It is important to alert the public to the damaging -- indeed lethal -- plans of the current Secretary of Health, which are becoming more apparent by the day: thehill.com/opinion/heal... @caulfieldtim.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social @michaelemann.bsky.social @brendannyhan.bsky.social

there are absolutely speakers of American English who would ask you to lean forward then smack you with a cue card for suggesting that “each other” Isn’t perfectly grammatical in this context (eg Appalachian, ozark, most midland). Ultimately, choice prob says more about your speaker than listener

When big brother is a living metaphor for American politics

Caitlin stands in front of a weather map showing an extreme thunderstorm

Waking up at 5:30 am to a severe thunderstorm with 80+ mph winds and was not exactly the most relaxing way to start the weekend. But @ketv7.bsky.social’s (all women) weather team, lead by @caitlinharveywx.bsky.social made for good company.

A Hand drawn sign which reads “online working memory symposium. Tuesday thru Friday. Please wait for breaks if you need me! Thanks, Angela” is taped to a glass wall. On the other side of the glass is a very messy office with lots of plants

When your entire office can be seen from the hallway, you need a way to let your colleagues know that you are okay… the faraway look on your is because you are connecting with scientists all over the world at the @wmsymposium.bsky.social. Oh! And please do not disturb

A Grey tabby sits atop the same sweatshirt in the same box

Ha! Winnifred (one of my longtime kitty friends) approves of Hal’s handiwork.

A white cat is curled up with a grey sweatshirt in a box.

Hal and his sister Hero came to live with us about a year ago after being with the same human for over a decade. Hal just dragged my sweatshirt to a box and made himself a little bed. I think this cat finally feels at home.

Poster session for the 2025 Boys Town National Research Hospital Pediatric Audiology Translational Research (PAT) Conference

Dr. Cowan stands behind a lectern while wearing a black blazer. A collection of water bottles from previous speakers has accumulated on top of the lectern (does that make the lectern a podium as well?)

Dr. McCreery has on a plaid grey suit. He’s gesturing a classic Dr. McCreery gesture.

Drs. Tiana Cowan, Ryan McCreery, and Lori Leibold present a new tool, the Children’s English and Spanish Speech Recognition (ChEgSS) test which will soon be available to facilitate speech perception testing with bilingual children.

Dr. Lewis has curly white hair. Her final slide with take home messages listed is on the screen behind her.

Dr. Dawna Lewis reviews evidence for remote microphone (RM) use with children whose hearing is audio-metrically typical but who have other special listening needs.

Dr. Muñoz has chin length grey hair. She is dressed in all black.

A slide list six barriers parents report for why children do not consistently wear their hearing aids. One barrier is not enough information or training.

In our final talk before lunch, Dr. Karen Muñoz from @utahstate.bsky.social reviews strategies audiologists can use to support parents as they learn about their child’s hearing aid (One communication strategy capitalizes on CHUNKING which makes my working memory heart so very happy)

Dr Wisman, in a navy blue top and khaki pants, stands behind a lectern. Her hands are crossed over her heart as she explains the challenges facing audiologists as the advise families who children are audio-metrically borderline for CI candidacy.

Our next speaker, Dr. Kathryn Wiseman, tackled the challenging question of when to transition a pediatric hearing aid user into cochlear implant candidate.

PAT Conference keynote speaker Dr. Susan Scollie from @westernuwin.bsky.social presents a historical review of the major advances in pediatric hearing aid fitting and highlights gaps that need to be addressed for future research.

Dr. Michael Gorga, a distinguished white haired gentleman, stands at a lectern in front of a tiered conference room, to speak about his late wife and research partner, Dr Pat Stelmachowicz. Pat’s most recent Boys Town headshot is displayed on the screen. She is wearing a blue collard shirt.

We open with a tribute to the conference’s namesake, the late Dr. Pat Stelmachowicz, who was a pioneer in conducting pediatric hearing research specifically to inform clinical practice.

The dark pink and sky blue PAT conference schedules lays on the table next to a glass of orange juice and a cup of yogurt. A blurry PowerPoint slide with the speakers’s headshots is in the background.

The PAT Conference from Boys Town National Research Hospital brings the leading Pediatric Audiology Translational Research to clinicians and scientists. Follow along Friday (May 30) and Saturday (May 31) for live updates.
