A message from our director
The start of a new academic year is always a bit of a whirlwind, and this fall has been no exception. Between conferences and community events, we’ve published new papers and are gearing up for an exciting new research study funded by the National Institutes of Health. We’ll be looking at connections in the brain that you can think of as being like a fingerprint—they’re unique to every person and could be why stuttering presents differently in different people. This is a new direction in the field of stuttering research, and we can’t wait to see what discoveries await!
It was wonderful to see so many members of our stuttering community come together to celebrate one another and build meaningful connections at our Stuttering Awareness Day Celebration recently (learn more about International Stuttering Awareness Day). If you missed it, there are some lovely photos from the event below. We’re looking forward to this year’s Stuttering Symposium on December 5th (save the date!) and, as always, our monthly stuttering support group is available for those who want to connect with other people who stutter.
As ever, I must extend a huge thank you to you! Our lab couldn’t make groundbreaking discoveries without your steadfast support and contributions to research. No matter how you support us—study participation, financial gifts, reading this newsletter—it’s an honor to work alongside you to build a better world for people who stutter.
