Good palliative care can alleviate the pain of dying – this bill means Labour must fund it | Rachel Clarke Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
& Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD.

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

A little sneak peak of results that are forthcoming in a preprint soon: the mechanism by which semantic feature analysis appeared to improve correct naming on 30 treated nouns for n=19 participants w aphasia appeared to be by improving inner speech for those items. Thanks to NIDILRR for funding.

Linguistic diversity shapes flexible speech perception in school age children - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Linguistic diversity shapes flexible speech perception in school age children

I am thrilled to share our new paper which investigates the role of continuous measures in linguistic diversity research. We found that children who are exposed to more linguistic diversity (e.g., language, dialect, accent) are perceptually more flexible. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
