Congratulations to PhonLab grad student, Dr. Aleese Block, for filing her dissertation, Cue weighting and enhancement in systems of contrast: vowel quantity in Norwegian. 

We are thrilled that Dr. Block has accepted a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for the Phonetic Sciences at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich.
 

The lab has a new paper now in press in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) by Michelle Cohn, Santiago Barreda, & Georgia Zellou: "Differences in a Musician's Advantage for Speech-in-Speech Perception Based on Age and Task". [doi.org/10.1044/2022_JSLHR-22-00259]

Congrats to Georgia Zellou, Anne Pycha, & Michelle Cohn for their recently accepted paper in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA): "The perception of nasal coarticulatory variation in face-masked speech". 

We are thrilled to have a fantastic new cohort of undergraduate research assistants (RAs) helping on a variety of PhonLab projects.
