  1. One of our sons is losing his hearing, so now I can add learning British Sign Language to my polyglot life. 😂

    Some of the signs are really sensible.

    Horse for example is basically “G G” created by holding the letter G and moving the fists in a vertical circle twice (Young English children call a horse a GeeGee, prounced as hard G, or J’s).
    Rabbit is the bunny ears on topof your head.
    Fish is a swimming motion sideways with one flat hand.

    Taking it slowly, but it’s fun so far. 😇

  2. Messed up bigoted muther f⁕⚠︎ers.

    The #DOJ is appealing a #CourtOrder requiring the White House to immediately begin providing American Sign Language (#ASL) interpretation at its #press briefings when #Trump or press sec Karoline Leavitt are speaking.

    In a court filing responding to US District Judge Amir Ali's ruling, DOJ requested clarification on which types of events should have ASL interpretation available [ALL dimwits].

  3. Time for a new #Introduction . I’m a Lecturer in #Neuroscience in #London at the #UniversityOfRoehampton . I study #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing , #Audiology , & #Hearing ; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding . I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia .

    My home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat .

  4. I guess I should probably do an #Introduction as well. I’m a #Neuroscience #Postdoc in #Spain studying #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing, #Audiology, & #Hearing; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding. I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia.

    My permanent home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat.

  5. Adenosine and its congeners have been studied and found to have a variety of potential uses, such as reducing noise-induced #HearingLoss, being used as #AntiAnxiety and hypnotic agents, reducing stress-induced #apoptosis of #HippocampalNeurons, and having #antipsychotic action. This suggests that adenosine and its congeners could be used in the future to treat a variety of conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, seizures and convulsions, and #schizophrenia.
